Talking To My TV

If you've been reading this blog for some time, then you know that I occasionally (often) talk to my TV. Usually it's to say things like "what the (heck)??" when plot twists occur or "good job, show," when the story beats line up with my expectations and make me feel stuff. Recently, however, I've caught myself saying other things, like:

Netflix: Hey

Me: What

Netflix: You know we have Season 2 of Demon Slayer now

Me: I know, you keep showing me the thumbnail

Netflix: So why aren't you watching it

Me: Because Hulu's had it for a long time now, along with Season 3

Netflix: You have Hulu?

Me: Yeah

Netflix: Oh

Me: Don't be jealous

Netflix: I'm not

Me: Then why did you cancel Warrior Nun

Netflix: uhh

(While watching the new season of The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime)

Me: This episode is just like Avatar! The bending one, not the Pandora movies

Amazon Prime: Right?

Me: And Keyleth's dad is even named Korrin, which is kind of like Korra

Amazon Prime: You're so observant

Me: And the show is called "The Legend of...", like "The Legend of Korra"

Amazon Prime: Wow

Me: You're just humoring me, aren't you?

Amazon Prime: uhh

(While watching the new season of The Bad Batch on Disney+)

Me: This episode is just like Breath of the Wild!

Disney+: Um, no it's not

Me: Yes, it is! With the traps and the large mecha creature that shoots a laser beam from its mouth and everything

Disney+: It's a totally original idea, I assure you

Me: I think somebody was like, "hey, I want to do an homage to Breath of the Wild" and so they wrote this episode

Disney+: We are Star Wars. People copy us, not the other way around

Me: Whatever

(While watching Ant-Man and the Wasp)

Boots (sitting in front of the TV): Why are you watching this again

Me: Because I want to get prepared for the new Ant-Man movie next month

Boots: Haven't you seen this movie like, a million times already

Me: No. Now please move

Boots: No

Me: C'mon, man

Boots: Feed me

Me: It's not feeding time, and you know it

Boots: Pay attention to me. Not this movie

Me: I pay attention to you all the time

Boots: No you don't

Me: Yes I do

Boot: No you don't

Me (sigh): Fine

Yes, I also talk to my cats.
