Oh, relieving.  <What was your favorite book?>

<I don't know that I'd say any of them were my favorite book. I wanted the information but they weren't, like, engagingly written.> What's on TV. Various streaming, apparently, and she can charge it to the room, so whatever they want.

MUSICALS.  Also maybe they should try like five minutes of a bunch of different things to see what looks good?  - Oh or previews!!  Previews are an amazing concept she loves them immediately.

They can flip through a bunch of trailers for musicals till something catches Colley's ear.

But all of them are catching Colley's ear!!  Especially Newsies and Little Women and Spongebob and The Phantom of the Opera and Cats and The Sound of Music and Peter Pan and possibly that's too many to reasonably count as 'especially'.

Ispalt makes the executive decision that The Sound Of Music mostly for title reasons.

Colley wants control of the body, which she uses to position it in a maximally-cozy way, drawing all her limbs up during the opening credits.  It's the closest she's likely to get to giving Ispalt a hug.

WOW those are sure some pretty mountains and cool architecture, from perspectives she's never seen before.  And it's really cool how the singer still sounds so clear and close even as she and the camera move around a ton relative to each other.  It would be really nice if recording people were copiable-from; Colley wants to know everything about how all of this works.

<Awww,> of the "hug"; <Yeah, it's a pity> about the uncopiability of Julie Andrews.

Seven children sure is kind of a lot to have that close in age to each other, or would be for citrelians.  Most of the plot is mostly comprehensible but pretty abruptly she wishes she could copy the actors not just for their knowledge of filmmaking but for like, any cultural context.

<Humans can have a lot of kids if they aren't on birth control. There's billions of 'em on this planet and they do have birth control.>

<Yeah.  And ugh, they're all like growing old and dying, so of course you'd have to have them all at once if you wanted that many - I wasn't even planning on any for a few decades and I think I'm about as old as this guy - >

<Also I'm not sure they did have birth control back then when this is set. Maybe they did, we could look it up.>

<Afterwards.>

Aww, the little scale song is very cute.  Colley knows several citreliac equivalents - she was desperate for them before she was a person - but most of those were scaled to various divisions of absolute pitch instead of a solfège equivalent.  Also it's good to know that not all songs performed by this planet's children are terrible.

<There's an accidental in this song! I think I object.>

(Ispalt is having independent opinions about music!!  Yay!)

<But it's easier for littles to keep the same overall pattern of intervals, and if you're going to be using them in the rest of your music anyways there's not much reason to leave them out.  But maybe the ideal version of this song would have had twelve bits of wordplay instead of seven.>  She's already half-composing it in the back of her mind without particularly having intended to start.

<No, I mean the song is about the scale! It should be in the scale entirely.>

<If you say so!>

<I do. I do say so. It's bad pedagogy. Imagine impressionable children with perfect pitch.>

<I was one such child and it went fine!  I still like the songs, too.>

<I like the title song best.>
