Sandman episode 11 part 1: Dream of a Thousand Cats

Had hoped to watch the D&D film this weekend, but I’m way too sleepy. Martin woke me with difficulty at 4.30pm. Then after dinner I had to go back to sleep 8.30-11. But managed some stuff after, including watching the first Sandman bonus episode (there’s technically one bonus episode 11, but it’s 2 separate stories, one after the other). This adapts the cats story in the original comics in animated form. I was really looking forward to this, though also rather dreading it because of something that happens in the story. But the TV version was well done, with good animation and voice acting. Also some nice familiar voices. We will watch the Calliope story next week. Which again I am keen to see, but at the same time dreading in some respects even more.

Draal

Rewatching Babylon 5 and just got to A Voice in the Wilderness part 1. Surprised by the lovely understated Draal performance - I’d just remembered the later recast. And now also remembered we still have the Phoenix Comicon and Space City Con panel videos to watch (I bought the disc version some years ago). Must prioritise that soon!
