stuff about stuff

domarzione So Baby Yoda broke the internet? I saw him trending on twitter, even.
Does anyone remember the live-action adaptation of Bendis's Powers? It had real actors in it and everything, but it was put together by... Playstation? [checks, Playstation] and nobody watched it and nobody can watch it now. Back in the Old Days, a show was created for television and nobody watched it and it eventually got to Netflix (DVDs or streaming) and people fell in love after the fact. But what's going to happen in the streaming universe? Is Netflix going to buy the streaming rights to a show that was originally streaming? Can they? If we're headed for a balkanization of streaming networks where you need to subscribe to a half-dozen different channels to catch the shows you want to watch, what gets lost when people choose to just not watch things since they can't wait for Netflix/Amazon and buying everything isn't an option. I've already been making those kinds of choices -- Richard Armitage is on a show called Berlin Station that would be right up my alley if I wanted to pay for Epix. But I don't want to do that because I already have Netflix/Amazon and there's nothing else on Epix I want to see. What does Epix or Quibi offer me and my limited entertainment budget when put on a menu with Hulu and Netflix and HBO and Disney and CBS and whatever else that has actually significant back catalogs and I can only afford one or two?
(I ask this like I am not already literally years behind on stuff I want to watch.)
I have been a month off Tumblr, at least with respect to posting, although I cannot say my visiting has been anything serious. I've browsed my dash a few times, botheredmusesfool a couple of times, and that's it. I'm sure I'm missing fannish news I'd like to know, or at least some quality Baby Yoda content, but the idea of full participation exhausts me still and the reward for it does not yet seem worth the energy. Am I cured? Or just tired?
Hockey team continues to be a bunch of undergrads, a couple of Continuing Ed students, and their really exhausted adjunct professor (hi, Henke!) and they're not good, but most of the time they are entertaining. I wish Chris Kreider were having a better final season on the ice because he is apparently killing it in the room as a mentor and role model.
Baseball team continues to be the reason Deadspin has had a #LOLMETS tag for years. The just-hired manager's the possible architect of the Houston Astros' sign-stealing. The star outfielder with mysterious injuries has been spotted taking BP but the video was disappeared off the interwebs. The competence-not-yet-entered-into-evidence GM doesn't think the team really needs improving. And yet they somehow have both the Rookie of the Year and a back-to-back Cy Young winner.
I am currently watching Calgary-Colorado because I want to see if Matthew "I am my father's son" Tkachuk will fight another goalie.
Three weeks left in the semester. My field of fucks is barren at this point, I fear.
