This was one of the only marathons where I felt kinda bad about taking a nap, which is strange because it's the one where all the content is still available so I can go back and catch up on the stuff I slept through.

It makes sense to me. It's the one where we chose all of it, so none of it was disposable. Except for Humanoids of the Deep, which I am still disappointed about.

But I was glad to get that sleep, no doubt about it.

I regret nothing I stayed awake for, but I think it's why I spent most of last week out cold.

Children can be obliviously cruel to small animals (usually, hopefully, they learn some empathy and compassion) and boy was that point driven home hard to me. Terr's facial expressions really disturbed me. The film did a good job.

It did. There was something the opening sequence with Terr's mother reminded me of; I realized after the fact it was Frank Kelly Freas' famous cover illustration for Tom Godwin's "The Gulf Between" (1953). The image upset me very much as a child. I wonder if it stuck with Laloux and Tabor, too.
