@kiashyel I am watching/listening to 2003's Chess Act I via YouTube while doing this post; so far it's been interesting.

So, I did set up a Dreamwidth account under the same username just in case; it's been a change so I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm a bit wistful that it doesn't seem to be as big on screencaps, let alone gifs, but I'll survive. I hope.

I haven't backed anything up yet; I'll probably scoop up my Static Shock posts and all of these ramble posts as that's most important. Perhaps it's for the best I haven't written up my "Jimmy" posts yet, I can instead make that the first of the 'new' content elsewhere.

Unless I do a post on the Librarians tie-in novels first (rather silly but in mostly a fun way). At some point I do want to go back and listen to the episode commentaries.

Speaking of which, I did recently treat myself to a different version of Leverage's first season so that eventually I can listen to all of its episode commentaries. The fourth season finale is up next for me. It'll be bittersweet to see Richard Chamberlain there given his recent passing, and now I really do need to get around to watching The Slipper and the Rose. After that I won't lie, Secret of the Wings will probably overtake Excalibur & POTO, even though it's the most recent purchase. I don't know if I'll watch it before or after reading Wings of Starlight.

A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic is up next on my to-read list; hopefully I'll enjoy it. Legends of Tomorrow did slip my mind when I set up this photo; I still need to get around to "Night of the Hawk". Today I got my ThriftBooks package for Dancing on the Edge; it will very much be a partial watch as I know the big spoiler but even before I heard the news about Tumblr's diminished staffing I had caved into wanting to be my own source for Angel-as-Jessie screencaps.

Any Pokémon anime watching project continues to be on the back burner but I do think it might be fun to watch the two island arcs at the same time, especially to do a compare & contrast. (Side note: thankfully for restocking my free gem pile, there's nobody this month in Pokémon Masters that I really want).

Obviously, I had a great time re-watching & screen-capping the first season of BBC Merlin, which will likely continue into the second season even if my screencap sharing cannot in this capacity. The first season posts will go into the middle of this month; I want to finish watching the special features & flip through the season 1 guidebook before starting season two (hopefully by the end of this week).

I think that's about it as far as current & imminent projects go.

Hopefully this is just yet another false alarm as far as Tumblr's functioning goes, but I just want to be safe than sorry.

Four screencaps from early in the scene in "To Kill the King" when Gwen and Merlin check on each other's well-being.
