I'm in 2017 rn in my backlog of old, drafted reblogs, and I had forgotten what a good time that was for scifi, especially non-male-centric or even explicitly female-centric scifi.
Humans and Killjoys were in the middle of their runs and both so good. Orphan Black was airing its final season (and it was a well-planned ending). Dark Matter was in its final season, too (and we were robbed, robbed when the show didn't get renewed).
Are there simply fewer shows like this? Do I not connect to them anymore? Is there such a surplus of shows that it's simply difficult to find the good ones and they often end up overlooked and cancelled after one season? Streaming has really taken off since then; how shows are made and how we watch them has changed a lot.
...I should check which of these are out on DVD, actually. I did buy Orphan Black, but all of these shows were great and, with streaming as unreliable as it has become I'd love to make sure I have access.

I cannot believe people were so pissy about Assad’s casting as Armand, look at him —
The man looks like every homo-repressed renaissance painter’s wet dream - like 10/10 would paint him as Jesus or several angels into as many frescoes as possible.

God I would love to have seen Lieutenant Jopson actually disagree and argue with Crozier, just once.
I'd love to have seen them have a proper argument once Jopson finally had the official authority to actually speak his mind a bit more.
I can't help but wonder if, perhaps unconsciously, Crozier promoted him in small part so as to have a lieutenant who would always agree and back him up in his decisions. But Jopson, of course, is a bright lad who knows his own mind, and nothing tantalises me more than the thought of that united front just not happening.

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

By the way! I have ONE single gripe about The Terror, and that is the fact that when you look at the Tuunbaq in the show, it genuinely feels like they... underestimated the sheer size of a polar bear, especially when they say "It's about three times the size of a polar bear."
My mom, as a child, saw a living polar bear once. In the circus. She was able to essentially stand right in front of it, and she says that they are just so frighteningly large that it's hard to even imagine unless you see one up close. The way she described it to me was, "If that polar bear stood upright in our livingroom, with our eight foot ceilings, he'd still be able to peek his head up into the second story."
The average male polar bear stands at about 9ft tall, 5ft at the shoulder, and can weigh between 700-1,000 lbs.
Here's a picture of one in the circus, and one that had been stuffed, and then the Tuunbaq as we see it in the show.
There are other scenes in which you can see the size compared to that of a human better, but they're a bit... gory. But the Tuunbaq as depicted in the show is kind of just... the size of a decently sized average polar bear, with a slightly bulkier build.
What I'm saying is that realistically... imagine the largest living land carnivore... and triple it. Put two more polar bears on the shoulders on the Tuunbaq, and THEN you can maybe imagine the sheer size. That's what I call "fuckoff huge".
