unspeakablehorrorCurrently in simultaneous 'obsessed with this' mode for both Star Wars and Star Trek, on the Star Trek end because I've watched a lot of Star Trek lately and found I really missed out on a lot the first time I watched the older shows. Have also seen a lot of the new Trek shows and have many Thoughts. Not sure if that will ever coelesce into much of anything, but it's definitely...there.
On the Star Wars end, there's Andor and also, to my surprise, Star Wars Visions. I have to admit, I didn't bother to watch Visions when Season 1 came out because while the animation looked impressive, I wasn't expecting to get much out of the stories. I've watched them all now, and while there were definitely a fair few with little substance to them, there were also a few really thoughtful ones. Also quite a few I really enjoyed. There were a lot of interesting episodes that involve the Sith in some way, but I especially can't stop thinking about Screecher's Reach. Getting spoiled on that episode was actually what convinced me to watch Visions in the first place, and it remains my favorite of all the episodes. I also really like that there are so many miners in the different episodes. Just fascinated by how that is a significant element of the plot of more than one of the episodes, given that they are not otherwise related by their narratives or characters.
