A smiling white woman with shoulder-length brown hair stands behind a mild-mannered Asian man in a suit. She is leaning over his shoulder and opening his white button-down shirt to expose [gasp!] a Superman shirt under it.

#Superman week seems like a great opportunity to reshare one of my favorite photos of all time, an engagement photo of me and @corawright.bsky.social, taken by @ellenbw.bsky.social, in the style of an old Lois & Clark promo shoot. Oh, to be so young and cute again!

If you like those, I recommend Sharan Newman's Catherine LeVendeur series (also mysteries; Abelard and Heloïse are major characters).

There's a scene in ep 5 (just watched!) that I enjoyed immensely, and I thought the shooting-17-people-in-a-discotheque scene had the right tone. But I really, really don't care about Helen's (feelings about her) affair.

It's not striking the right balance, for sure. I think I'd have been more into it if it'd gone a bit more dark comedy + stylish over-the-top action (it has a sense of humor! and the Christmas setting gives it some wryness!) but clearly that's not what they wanted to do.

If you haven't already, highly recommend cleaning out some real food containers to add to the kitchen. My kid loves squeezing the honey bottle and opening the tea tin in particular!

It would be one thing if we were supposed to see them as incompetents who are succeeding through sheer luck, but the show clearly considers them super-spies. (Or just considers everyone else in the worlds of espionage/government/crime to be 3x as incompetent.)

There's enough I enjoy that I'll finish the show (any scene with Williams in it is a delight) but I also want to throw things at the TV every episode.

I was just complaining about this to my spouse. A high-profile government official's wife murders a man in a public street and no one finds out about it?!

Oh, that's cool. Though at that price, it's not going to get me away from reading on my phone any time soon.

dreamy cream scones Not too sweet, perfect crumb and not even a little dry, these have converted legions of scone-averters.

I love a cream scone. Cheating? Maybe. But delicious cheating.

I had probably seen the original trilogy multiple times through before I could talk. It was just often on in my house and I can't remember ever NOT having seen it. Zero complaints and this is how I'm raising my kid, too!

I first saw Princess Bride around 9-10 and loved it. Read the book around 13.

Yeah I don't think there's any need to look at the original. (Just the original actual history!)

Yay, so glad you enjoyed it, too! The book was formative for me as a teenager and the show improves on a great-but-flawed book in so many ways.

Anna Sawai does some magnificent work throughout.
