My most favorite essay by you is the one on emotional realism. Immensely profound and reflective! Merry belated Christmas, ya filthy animal, and a Happy almost New Year! I look forward to what's in store in 2024 on Textual Variations!

I loved this one too! It helped me understand what wasn't landing for me in a show I was reviewing, so I've been citing it liberally haha.

I think I subscribed to your Substack a bit after you posted the list of TV and Film Substack writers. Being tagged there is how I found your blog, which was a great way to both showcase writing in this space on Substack and get folks to engage together (when so many of us are / had been writing in silos). Have loved reading your stuff the past 7-8 months - and of course, as I close this tab, I've opened another (I missed your Winds of Winter post). Looking forward to engaging more in 2024!

Thanks a lot, John! I really appreciate it.

I love reading your stuff as well, and am looking forward to the renewed coverage of (the sadly canceled) Quantum Leap. We should def-ly collaborate at some point!

Agreed, looking forward to doing something together :). And oof yeah, I was about to drop back into QL when I learned about the cancellation. I feel like I probably need to do a full retrospective at this point!
