Q: Patrick, what shows are you watching with Bianca and Sparrow, and which ones have you gotten particularly invested in?
Patrick: We’re watching a lot!
My favorite is Inspector Spacetime. I like how they portray someone who’s immortal and changes bodies every once in a while. I want there to be an episode where he gets together with his Master and they live happily ever after!
I watch Whee! with my Master. That’s the one about a high school dance club. Sparrow stopped watching because she got mad about how it handles, she said, “everything.”
And I watch the political drama Slander with Sparrow. My Master is the one who stopped watching that, because all the characters got too mean, but she said I should keep watching because Sparrow likes the company.
Sometimes we do marathons of older shows. We just finished Camp Pining Hearts — the dub, because I can’t read fast enough to follow the subtitles. It was okay.
Plus, my Master and Sparrow always watch the fake news shows together, and usually I ‘m in the room . . . Does it still count if I don’t pay attention? I never understand any of their jokes.
Maybe he’d like Fluffy the Undead Breaker – I’d imagine the fight scenes would be right up his alley. I think the first episode, where she meets her observer Michael Giles and they take on the Crimson King and his minions Fripp and Sinfield, is available to download for free.
And how about the classic Supermanipulation series Firebirds (or Thunderball XL-5)? Patrick could enjoy it, and Sparrow and Bianca could get unintended laughs from the puppetry, and from main recurring adversary “the Bald” and his endless collection of “disguise” toupees.

I get all the others, but what is Camp Pining Hearts a reference to?
It’s a show-within-a-show from Steven Universe, with a very anime-on-VHS aesthetic. (Peridot gets really into the shipping. Patrick, not so much.)
Except its canadian live action its a riff on Degrassi
Patrick, you’re adorable, please never change.
If you really don’t want him to change, you need to write it in language of the contract … INSIDE him.
I love that first one most! I think Patrick would be disappointed by The Master…
Wait camp pining hearts is an anime in thier world cause on stephen universe its a canadian live action drama
‘an episode where he gets together with his Master’
I see what you did there.
