 I finally saw Psych The Movie.  It was...really weird?   I still don’t know what to think.  It felt awesome at times and other times like everyone involved was either high or drunk.   It reminded me of John Steinbeck’s The Pastures of Heaven where the book is mostly normal except for this odd middle where everything goes fantasy and weird and clearly the author has lost all touch of reality.  Then suddenly it is back to normal and doesn’t return to the insanity at all.  Although I am not sure this movie ever gets back to normal.

I finally bought the new Red Dwarf season but I have not watched it yet.  So far the new seasons have been lots of fun so I have high hopes for this one.  I do feel a little bit like the last episode of the last season was the perfect ending to the show but I won’t complain about new eps.

On the MLP front, my friends were wondering how it compares to Steven Universe in depth and darkness.  I think Steven Universe has to win on both counts but it has the freedom that it isn’t aimed at young children.  However, I think the show has a fair amount of depth even compared to many adult shows and it defnitely can be dark.  I wasn’t really sure how to respond   I said it was mostly light hearted with fun slice of life but also has action adventure, depth, and some dark sprinkled in at times.  I think, in all honesty, that is what makes it a good show.  I have noticed quite a lot of overlap between Steven Universe fans and MLP fans and I think it is because both shows have a good balance of fun and depth, action adventure and slice of life.

Finally, I am now 3 episodes in on Stranger Things.  So far, not really grabbing me but I am assured I should keep watching.

 A few updated on my fandom squees:

(1) I'm watching the last season of Agents of Shield again.  I just am in complete awe of the end of this season and it's fun to watch with a friend who doesn't know what is going to happen next.

(2) My Little Pony movie was great and I'm really glad I read the prequel comics and book before going.  I feel more people would have loved this movie if they had the background that makes the character motivations more clear.   It also helps if you've at least seen an episode or two of My Little Pony to understand what it is all about (yes, they do sing in many episodes). It does seem all those in the fanbase are super happy with the movie, even those who thought they would hate the whole thing.

The music keeps playing in our house and the orchestra on the songs sounds amazing.  I don't see why some critics don't like the music.  Maybe they just don't get My Little Pony but I think the music was spot on and lots of fun.  My daughter who never dances even danced to the music!

The villain song gives me such chills.  My daughter loves to sing it over and over so now the lyrics are stuck in my head.  I think it is one of the best villain songs I've heard in any movie.  Some of my favorite lyrics:  (though I love the whole song and it's not as powerful without the orchestra and strong vocals to go with the words):

(3) I think we're almost caught up on Elementary.  They seem to be struggling for good writers these days.  My husband and I joke that if a song ends with pop music you can tell who wrote the script.  They need to remember the heart of what makes these characters and have fun with their dialogue.  If I can hear anyone say Sherlock's lines, they probably aren't written well.

(4) I've seen a few episodes of Black Mirror and that seems like a creepy but fun show.  I want to see more.

(5) I need Steven Universe to start back up again. So much love for this show.  I think I just like shows with lots of music.
