This is ramble (okay, rant) about why I may be responding as I am to Wonder Woman: 1984 (liked it okay) and Discovery, especially S3 (kind of hate it).

So many people have said so much good and interesting stuff that I'm just going to make three observations: one negative, one positive/negative, and one positive--but it's very positive.
