       Oh wow, I had forgotten that SNWS2 ended on a cliffhanger, we're right in the middle of the action.

       I saw Christina Chong in her first or one of her first TV appearances just the other day, in her Dr Who episode. Now I'm looking at her latest.What is one of the first things she says in this episode? "Always start with the doctor."Coincidence? 😇

       We've watched the rebooted Jumanji movie before, but barely remembered it. Now we watched it again.Hey, that's Karen Gillan! We know her now, from several seasons of Dr. Who! Here she's Ruby Roundhouse and The Rock is Doctor Xander Bravestone.Halfway into the movie, the main antagonist:"Hello, Doctor."Hmmmmm. 🙃

       @clacke Probably better known as the blue sister in Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji than she is for Doctor Who

       This interview with Karen Gillan is so weird. It's like a job interview.But we do get to know a bit about how she felt about things between Endgame and Guardians Vol 3, and how she got the roles as Amy Pond and then Nebula.Larry King's "Larry Now": "Karen Gillan talks ‘Jumanji’ co-stars, moving to America, & ‘Doctor Who’ "youtube.com/watch?v=kNg3i9DhaA…

       @dneary She looks so different and speaks so different as Nebula, so even now that I know I can barely see the resemblance. I do detect some occasional Scottish Rs in Nebula's otherwise general-American accent, now that I'm paying attention.

       Haha, and now I'm watching SNW S03E02, and the guest character is played by Rhys Darby, also from the 2017 Jumanji.

       Foundation has all of the interesting concepts from the books, and adds a few of its own, also very interesting. The storytelling model is also very interesting. The world-building and epic plotline is captivating.But the visuals, by Seldon's beard, the visuals. Every scene is like a painting, not the kind of painting that has broad strokes, but the kind where every little bit has an obsessive level of detail and little surprises.I'm watching it for story now, and may go back and watch it again, slower, just to admire the spectacle of every scene.
