May the Fourth Be With You
May. 4th, 2023 10:35 pmIt did start out nice. BOTH my parents sent me Memes. Not this one but still
They made me smile with that. This was my last day of class barring the lab test tomorrow and it's a little bittersweet because two of my classes were pretty good, one I won't miss much (and I suspect the feeling is mutual)
Then I got hit with those news articles again, conservative relatives shit posting and then me spiraling and doom scrolling. Tell me to stop

getyourwordsout yahtzee prompts and always go for the trickiest, 5 stories, same character and all within 10 words of each other word count wise. tell me it's okay to cut 500 words from the ones that are 2500 words vs trying to get the two who are only 1900 words up to them.
Last Year I rewatched Emergency! a show I loved as a kid and while yes it is a bit showing it's age not surprising since it's from the 70s. What you might not know is it's a spin off of Adam-12 which was a spin off of Dragnet. So I decided to rewatch Adam-12 (on the same station as Emergency!) and that is...not going as well.
In a way it's frakking depressing because this came on the air the year after I was born in the late 60s. And everything they were worried about then, police brutality, drugs, racism etc...nothing had changed. Yes it has gotten better but we're standing on the precipice of sliding right back and that's depressing. It's also obvious we were still afraid of Nazis in the 60s (and still are because they ain't gone anywhere) and shockingly only a few episodes have referenced the Viet Nam war but I'm only in S2. I doubt I'll make it to S7.
On a show level, yes Reed is still cute (I had a crush on him as a kid) but man the acting in this is truly sub par. Malloy, the older partner is a stiff and a bore. Reed is a bit of a chauvnist (not by 60s standards but still) And a lot of the supporting actors aren't that good. This was one of the ones better in memory.
Have some community recs. I'm debating on this one![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
summerofhorrorexchange I would enjoy it BUT do I have time.
I'm still angsting on what I could cross over with The Owl House to dointoabar because I'm not sure I'm up to another Prodigal Son/Lucifer though I could...
Then there'ssmallfandomfest but I don't actually have one of those but you might. Actually Ghost Hunt would probably count. Oooo I could use that for The Owl House crossover. Where are my ghost hunt manga?
