Fun Stuff > ENJOY
I just watched (x television show here)
Blue Kitty:
I finished all 99 episodes of Animaniacs after watching the new season. My take away:
-The best segments are the Warners, Pinky and the Brain, and Slappy Squirrel
-The worst are Randy Beaman, Goodfeathers, and Hip Hippoes
But it still holds up really well, even making my wife laugh out loud at times. The new one is kind of missing that charm, especially since there aren't many segments outside of the Warners and Pinky and the Brain

Fuck me, I HATE the Hip Hippos. Everything that happens to Jane Embryo, I wish was happening to them instead.
Also weak: Good Idea, Bad Idea.
No love for Rita and Runt, or Buttons and Mindy?
Blue Kitty:
I actually like Good Idea, Bad Idea cause they're generally quick and weird. Rita and Runt and Buttons and Mindy are both neutral compared to those 6, I'd watch them over the worst but they aren't the best to me
I watched all of Love Death and Robots and I really enjoyed it, especially the one that looked so much like Into the Spider-Verse
Case:
Expanse Season 5 is out! :parrot: I'm still on Ep1.
OddDetailsOnlyCaseNotices:
So Bobby and Alex are both Martians, right? And the books make a point of mentioning Alex' "Mariner Valley Drawl" quite a few times, which is allegedly typical for Hindi-Martians-by-way-of-Texas. And I guess Cas Anwar isn't doing too bad of a job about the whole drawly-thing, but I'm no good judge of US-dialects.
So far, so good. Enter Frankie Adam's glorious Bobby Draper ... and her very noticable Kiwi-accent.
I mean, sure - they come from completely different settler-demographics, buuuuuuuuut Mars ain't exactly suffering an over-abundance of habitable surface-area, right? How long does it take to acquire an accent? Akima said she went from Mandarin to being able to pull off a credible Bogan-accent in ... (However old Akima is minus however old she was when her family moved to Oz, which I'm guessing is about 30-ish minus about 10-ish, so ... ) ... twenty years, give or take?
TL;DR - Given that space is precisely what Mars doesn't have too much off, shouldn't Bobby's and Alex's accents be a little bit closer, no matter how different their families' original terran backgrounds?
sitnspin:
The character is of Polynesian descent and, as far as I can recall, the books don't specify her accent, and she is not from the same settlement as Alex, it still works for me.
Plus, Frankie Adams could use a Dickensian cockney accent and I would still be okay with it, cos... damn. :)
