First episode of Secret Invasion was very good although maybe confusing if you haven’t seen Captain Marvel and/or aren’t familiar with the Skrulls.

Is Fury a Skrull? I haven’t seen much of anything lately but know the post credit scene in Far From Home had him being one.
I just started watching Secret Invasion and unsure going in.

Doesn’t really seem like in this it but it wouldn’t shock me.

No. Basically Fury was part of half of the beings snapped away. After he came back he went to the space station and stayed there. The skull in Far From Home was posing as him on Earth, but he is Fury's ally. He's the main char in Secret Invasion helping Fury.
Seems unlikely since Talos was the Skrull impersonating Fury and in the scene he’s asking Fury to come back.

Thank you, my people.
I’ve seen so little of what’s been put out recently I just wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss anything but looks like I even missed what I did see, haha.
Now I can watch fully understanding what’s going on.

@Appleyard I finished The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents last night. Amazing book, as per usual with Sir Terry, but holy shit that was meant for children? That has to be one of the darker stories he's written. The Rat King would have traumatized a younger SBA.

Finished the first part of season 3 of The Witcher the other day. I really do enjoy that show, and it makes me that much more annoyed about the WOT and Rings of Power or whatever its called. One thing I really like on The Witcher is the fighting choreography. Just top notch in my opinion, all the way back to the very first episode. To take it back to WOT, RJ described Lan fighting as more of a dance. The scene at the end of season 1 episode 1 instantly made me think of that. Just deadly efficiency of movement without all the unnecessary twirly whirly shit and superhero landings that you usually see nowadays. They do that in the monster fights, but the humanoid fights feel legit.
On the other hand, once again was underwhelmed with the new season of Black Mirror. "Beyond the Sea" I liked and thought it had the same vibes as earlier seasons. Outside of that, there was an episode that may have ruined "Come Baby Come" by K7 for me forever. That's no small feat, and I did find that one pretty good, but the rest were meh or I didn't like much at all. Some of the older episodes are all time faves for me that I've watched several times.

Season 3 of the Witcher was no season 1 or 2 but man the second half of season 3 is god awful. I’m two episodes in on the second half and I’m already struggling through hate watching it.

I've been so preoccupied with Discworld that I just realized I never read the Sanderson Secret Project books. I felt like an old man trying to download them to my kindle, but I managed to get it done.
Anyway, has anybody here read them (specifically Tress/Yumi), and how good were they? I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to finish off Discworld before I read them.

Tress was quite enjoyable, narrated by a familiar Cosmere character that also narrates Yumi. It's my favourite of the three released secret project books so far. It's not really appropriate for a 5 year old, but I am reading it to my daughter as a bedtime story right now.
The Frugal Wizard's Guide was a different kind of story for Sanderson, more in line with the Steelheart series than his regular fantasy stories. It's a non-Cosmere story. Fun enough, but was missing something.
Yumi was a neat concept which I hadn't really encountered in fantasy and was delivered well. To me, the least predictable of the three, which gives it extra points. I hold it just below Tress.
I recommend reading them in order, if only because that's what Sanderson seemed to have wanted by releasing them this way.

Me reading Sanderson's stuff out of order wouldn't exactly be out of character for me lol. I started the Cosmere off with Stormlight, then read Warbreaker, then Mistborn, then Elantris last. I may just have to wait for Secret Project #4 to come out and read them in reverse order too

I had the same issue. Felt like I was fighting through the book rather than reading it.
Been reading The Fifth Season. Interesting premise so far, but the second-person chapters are jarring.

Like I devoured Oathbringer. But for some reason it's just not clicking with Rhythm of War.

Yup. I'd enjoyed the series up to that point. Rhythm of War was a much different read.

Ahsoka debuted on Disney Plus tonight. Part 1 and 2 are up. I watched Part 1 and thought it was great. Felt like good old fashioned Star Wars in the best way possible.

Yup, extra gore can't cover up the stupidity on display there. Now he's just the goddamn Beastmaster but in modern times.

Unsurprisingly, the characters differed a bit from their cartoon counterparts, but Ahsoka is off to a good start through two episodes.

Been watching stuff on AppleTV lately. Refreshing myself with Invasion as the 2nd season dropped yesterday.
