More pics of Guz at his comedy special-- this time from New York! Sad to see him go but his tour in LA/NY is finally over. I've heard so many fans that went and had a great time! Hope you all had fun! It sounded awesome!

Okay so this isn't actually a Rhys Darby sighting... well it kind of is. Sam Neill (one of Rhys and Taika's previous co-workers from Hunt For the Wilder People) named his big orange mama cow after our beloved Captain! She just had a new baby! So today's Rhys sighting is quite Moooooving.

== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies, my son has (adorably) sabotaged the recap last night and this morning, he is absolutely not allowing me to be on the computer. So I've put together what I can-- so today I'll be sending some other folks love notes again, sorry about that!

the way some people reacted to David Jenkins and Neil Gaiman saying their shows would only have 3 seasons is so funny because I saw so many feeling devastated while I am so relieved and relaxed about it. don’t get me wrong I love getting more content with the characters I love but… normalize cohesive storytelling. normalize ENDINGS. do you REALLY want another s*pernatural????
and even after slashing their budget nearly in half, making them cut the amount of episodes and their runtimes, and having to cut out and rewrite entire storylines, that still wasn’t enough.
Really so much respect for David Jenkins. He really went "historical accuracy"? "Realism"? "Laws of physics"? Nope, we don't need those here, everything in this story is Vibes. Dinghies can travel huge distances if necessary, except sometimes not, injuries heal immediately or slowly fester, whichever the plot demands for comedy or drama respectively, a character spends several days dead/in a coma/in purgatory and then just comes back to life when his beloved shows up. Nothing is too over the top for this story, cringe doesn't exist, we'll dial all those feelings up to eleven, and we're gonna play everything with 100% earnestness, and we're gonna have a merman and it's going to be so fucking romantic. And he's right about all of it! Really the best way to do fiction.
