Holy shit. This is television. This is television for real.

Aside from the Everything Else here... we love just how much attention it pays to making the galaxy feel lived in. You get to see so much of the little things from so many angles that it's got volume to it. Everyone did such a good job conveying what it's like to live here when you're not caught in the gears of being a Big Space Adventurer or whatever, the ways you might go about your day and how your life is impacted by the broader goings-on. It's good shit, they should make a whole show that's just folks across the galaxy going about their daily lives actually.

... While we're all here posting, I think it's important we reveal this news. This one's a little... longer, for our normal posts, I guess.

We're talking about Gundam SEED Destiny and Freedom here, obviously, and our thoughts on it.

I like that guy and his funny show. Been rewatching it a lot recently. Peter Falk really did such an incredible job *being* Columbo, expressing all the subtle bits about him that make him such a compelling character. The villains rule, too - even if they're all high-society types with some degree of ego, there's still such an incredibly rich variety.

Top three favorite episodes from our randomly watching around thus far... probably Make Me a Perfect Murder (it's so concerned with the mechanics of television program production that it makes for some really gripping and inventive feeling moments, also Kay is a GREAT villain and I ship her and Val), Forgotten Lady (another one where the mechanics murder involves film reel changing, coincidentally, but also almost certainly the most tragic twist on the formula), and Any Old Port in a Storm (Donald Pleasance as Adrian Carsini). But... got damn, does this show contain so many really really stellar episodes that I feel like this list could easily change.
