What a banger of a first episode. On my first watch I was not fully tracking all the moving parts, but the core was strong enough to pull me through. On rewatch, I can see how everything is being set up and the construction is solid.

Also Pharan: Why are you staring at me

It's a good thing you're hot, sir

This bus attack was one of the two scariest scenes in the show to me (the other is in eps 8-9.) My memory of it lasted a lot longer than the actual scene does.

Also, a first look at Khem's inclination to just hand himself over if others are threatened.

Charn spotted! I did not even notice him on first watch but now I see that he is Noticing Jet. (As he should)

#gbkhemjira
Jet loves Khem SO much. I love how many lightly ship-coded moments they get in the first couple episodes... not setting up a rival ship but giving the love between them as much narrative weight as a romance.

#gbkhemjira
This little episode with the abusive father across the hall both gives Khem a rare chance to do something active, and points to the mother-child theme that's going to be so fundamental

#gbkhemjira
So little Khem chose to keep seeing ghosts because he wanted to see his mom after she died. Then he never did get to see her... but seeing a ghost was what started his friendship with Jet, which the whole story hangs on

I'm doing this. Khemjira Saturdays aren't over until I say they're over.
What if this Saturday I just start Khemjira from the beginning and pretend it's airing all over again
it's sooo good for me! The first year I did not set any goals, just kept track, which was motivating without being too much pressure for getting back into writing

(I am happy to share my template with friends too, just dm me!)
At the end of the writing year (which I start in November) I pull the summary data from each monthly tab into a single year overview. I can see what my goal was each month, my actual wordcount, and how much I wrote by month on specific projects.
There's a row for each day's wordcount and at the bottom, a section showing things like average words a day needed to meet the goal. I also have a system for tracking editing/plotting time and crediting words deleted in editing, so it's still usable if I'm not primarily drafting.
Yesss okay so I have a tab for each month and at the beginning of the month I decide what projects I want to work on and my goal wordcount for each. Each project gets its own color-coded set of columns where math happens.
I did a bunch of exchanges last year, which got me back in the swing of fic writing. Nearly all the fic I've written and I think 100% of what I've posted has been for an exchange. For the coming year I want to try to write and post more just-for-me fic.

Doing my yearly writing sumup (do please ask me about my spreadsheet) and once again data affirms that writing more fic also helps me write more original.
I was not expecting it to be said in so many words!

They really impressed me in Monster Next Door, a show whose premise I was not very interested in. And it's so good to see Park flexing his range... boy is FUNNY
This is the one with the alternate universe bodyswap and also a mind-reading love interest and also fake fiancees. I am happy to report that it knows it's a comedy.
