Babylon 5, pilot, S1E1. Delicious to see characters being introduced and characterised. S1E2 Soul Hunter I am going to be bothered by the whole "upper vena cava" thing for a while. E3 Born to the Purple Apparently this had both a young Sinead O'Connor and an old Meatloaf. The credits said otherwise but I know what I saw. E4 Infection My god no wonder we're rubbish at pandemics. Even in the future doctors won't use gloves for known biohazards if a friend hands them over. E5 Parliament of Dreams I want that song. I want that song. Is it available? I want to think about thinking about buying flowers after my nap. E6 Mind War It was fine. I wasn't convinced by some bits. E7 The War Prayer I must read the Twain short story/essay/prose poem. I've downloaded it from Gutenberg but not read it yet.

Owl House, S1 E11&12 I started watching this ages ago with Eldest and we stopped, but recently Youngest and I finished Hilda and after they'd shown me Nimona they wanted to share The Owl House. I love it. E13 schooooooool and jk Rowling shade I laughed. *E14 *Cute

Hilda This is a rewatch with Youngest. We love this series and we're watching it for the comfort. S1E1, E2

Wild Robot We saw this in the cinema and really enjoyed it. It was charming, though not quite revolutionary enough for my tastes. There were a lot of great jokes-for-the-grownups in it and no finicky pickiness about geology or zoology or anything, it followed its own internal logic and just ignored the bits that didn't fit and as a result produced a real *story *with no age-range. Some of it is much too upsetting for a very sensitive child of the type I have sometimes had. But there's a lovely dome shaped house and and a lot of gorgeous art.

And a goose that looks like Bill Nighy.

Phantom of the Opera Again at the cinema, and I enjoyed it - there were songs I didn't know from whatever soundtrack album we have, which was nice, and seeing how it was staged was extremely satisfying.

On the list for later: Death on the Nile, 1978, with Maggie Smith -- it's on ITVX.
