June 11, 2025 Sanditon TV (S1, E3&4): "We Listen and We Don't Judge"
...Okay, maybe we judge a little. But the characters in these two episodes started it!

Hot air balloons
90s Saturday morning toy commercials
Plant parents
Colonizing Mars

February 19, 2025 The Watsons (Part 2): "Read the Room"
Our heroine is plagued by solicitous young men! This second half of "The Watsons" sets up myriad potential plot threads. We lament their lack of resolution, but we'll comfort ourselves (and you?) with some exploration of 18th-century religious revivals and "nice" guys.
