Here's my Blood and Cheese cold take.
I don't love the changes, specifically the lack of Alicent, and the way they worked around Helaena having to make a choice; those two moments are kind of key to the entire thing, at least for me.
As for what we got though? It was fine. Don't have many arguments against how it went down other than it seemed a bit easy to access the royal family unhindered, although I guess that's why they took Cole out of play?
@paninid That's 21 points for me.
As for stuff I didn't do:
-Never used a typewriter.
-No to popped collars and pegged jeans.
-Replace taped music off the radio with taped TV shows.
-Missed duck and cover drills by a few years (thankfully).
-Never used AOL for internet.
-Never owned dictionary AND thesaurus.
-Too young to receive or make a collect call when they were a thing. We mostly got calls from people in prison, though. 😅
Spouse and I finished watching the first season of Picard.
We both love TNG. And many of the characters in this Picard show are endearing. Not the best story or script, tho.
Afterwards, Spouse said, "are there any sci-fi #kdrama shows? They have better writers."
LOL. So now I'm making him watch #TheSilentSea with me.
As we also start watching season 2 of Picard. 😉
Any other sci-fi kdrama or #cdrama or #TaiwaneseDrama you'd recommend?
#SpaceSweepers was also good.
Oh my-lack-of-god, I'm writing a/theology. Muse forgive me.
As always, #talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten /end
@scrubbles @shortwavesurfer The memoir could go either way. Hopefully, she's given the space to talk freely and frankly about what happened during the conservatorship, and hold people to account. But there's a not insignificant chance it will just be soft-focus inspirational cliches with a lot of sidestepping around uncomfortable subjects.
If it's the former, I'm interested. If it's the latter, then I wish her well, but maybe it's not for me.
As for her music, while it was pretty much inescapable on the radio, MTV (when they still played videos), and the general zeitgeist, I honestly didn't listen to much. Admittedly, Toxic and Me Against the Music were a great video clips.
I gave her music a second go during the conservatorship saga. In that context, tracks like her cover of My Prerogative, Lucky, Overprotected, and Piece of Me take on a whole depth of meaning. On the other hand, the idea that the Lou and Jamie made her sing "Work Bitch" during the conservatorship is kinda icky.
The new singles, including the Elton one, are decent, but part of me is still holding out for that Blackout 2 album where she finally gets to take full creative control.
@georgetakei
As I exited Twitter, it will not matter to me.
As for the new phone - good luck! I don't see a future there.
Maybe, I am not smart enough. But at least, I would not be a jackass firing my employees who made money for me.
