About the title
Starfleet Academy Season 1
The character moments are amazing. And the worldbuilding answers so many questions. OK, pretty darn excellent first season, a few AMAZING episodes too, all quite good.

Follow-up to The Office. I smiled a lot, loved the interplay and documentary stuff yet again. Couple great call-backs.
All Things Valentine
Cute movie about a blogger who ends up falling for her biggest troll.
Love on the Amazon
Meh movie. Moved as slow as going upriver. Sweet premise, but the actress oversold it and was really just boring.
D&D Honor Among Thieves
Funny. Cute. Wish I'd have stayed awake for all of it.
Welcome to Mama's

Interesting things to do a a retreat when they're looking for a stolen necklace but somehow also find love.

Rich, powerful sister tries to run her down-on-her-luck younger sisters life like a business. It fails, but they get close. Oh, and there's a guy. It's good.
Letterkenny Season 1
It grew on me. Very crude, very dry, very fast dialogue. The reoccuring "alledged" incident with the osterich cracked me up each episode.
Letterkenny Season 2
The Ag Hall stuff was great; Melanie Scrofano showed up there! Good throughlines & dang, that final scene with Wayne & his girls.
People We Meet on Vacation
Best movie of the year so far. Based on a novel. Friends travel every summer for many years, then fall in love.

Letterkenny Season 3
It's winter! Lots of ice fishing, Bonny McMurry is a waitress at the new bar, Modeans II. There's a girl joining the meth group. Damn Up-Country Degens.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
All 26 episodes. Eh, I guess it was too exestential for me. Definitely not big robot trope at all. Hero doesn't want to be. Last 2 episodes were WTF.
The End of Evangelion
A movie about what was really happening during the events of the last 2 episodes of the anime. Was even more WTF than the episodes were. Good place to hard stop.
Letterkenny Season 4
Nothing really seemed to hold this season together, but lots of funny moments and episodes individually. Still enjoying it.
Project Hail Mary
Just as amazing as the book. Absoutely loved it and so did my wife, kids, and parents. We all went to see it together on vacation.
Virgin River Season 7
I think this show is running out of steam. After reading 21 novels about it last year, then coming back to the show, I'm confused about people and where and who they are! It finished strong.
Tacoma FD Season 1
It rains a ton in Tacoma, so there's not many fires for them to have to put out. Instead, tons of hilarious stuff happens.
ParaNorman
What an excellent movie. Going to be honest, the first half was a bit of a slog, but then a plot point hits and everything turns and it's an amazing last 30 minutes!

Wow, they really stripped down the cast for this season.
