The Flight Attendant
I finished season 2 of The Flight Attendant yesterday. Going into the series I had no real idea what it was about, I had heard something to do with the CIA - I think that was from a blurb on HBO Max. One day I put it on in the background and got sucked in.
It's not a John le Carre novel, but it does have intrigue. I figured out most of season 2 pretty early. But if you end up watching this for the spy/mystery, I think you'll be disappointed. It's much more about Cassie's (Kaley Cuoco) struggles with her alcoholism, mental health, dealing with trauma from an alcoholic father, as well as her own trauma caused on others.
Overall, the show is nothing mind blowing but I did find it interesting and a fine bit of media for when I'm working on other things and don't want to pay full attention. I give 3 out of 5 stars.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order
I've been wanting to check out the cartoon but the first episodes are a bog and I couldn't get into it. I'm following this chronological release list and trying the show out again. It's no Machete order, but if it makes the show more palatable I'm down.

I highly recommend you take an hour and watch it.

Origins of James S. A. Corey's Sci-Fi series, "The Expanse"
Fascinating to hear that a post-to-play RPG campaign online defined a lot of the initial plot for the Expanse story.
