This week we discuss more plans for the 500th episode, including instructions for those arriving. Then a lot of TV and movies, a stressful time for Tony, and a lovely view into William’s Dad’s early onset dementia. Also, Tony can’t keep to a topic for more than four seconds. Enjoy!
QUESTIONS:

I thought Milly Bobby Brown was great in Enola Holmes. She came off as a “Holmes” and very much like someone who had had the Helena Bonham Carter character as a mother. The plot was kind of dreadful though, and I didn’t like how either of the Holmes brothers were written, especially Mycroft. Henry Cavill also seemed the wrong choice to play Sherlock.
Short story links:
This one has “The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas” and also a great Borges story “The Library of Babel.”

15 SciFi short stories, including my fav LeGuin story, “Mountain Ways.” Would also recommend Butler’s “Bloodchild” and the story by Ted Chiang.

And some Eleanor Arnason stories. The one I really like here is “The Lovers.” She has a novel in the same world.

Wow… really nice resources! Thanks!
I enjoyed the previous episode of Lovecraft Country.
PEACOCK IS FREE WITH ADS???
Most of it, yeah. For now.
You’ll have to wait until the special episode for me to explain about grackles.
Ugh… I hate waiting… 😛
