some free time and series
13/9/17 21:06 After a very busy summer, I'm enjoying a more relaxed Autumn: since most of the cross-study options were on the same day as my mandatory course, I could not fill all my days with studies. Well, ok, the last two semesters I actually managed to make a timetable with overlapping courses (again, if only I had a time-turner!) but this time they would overlap too badly.
So, as a result, yesterday and the day before were spent mostly marathon-watching series. So nice to have the opportunity! - even though not for long, since I will have more courses in October.
Game Of Thrones -7 was covered in just two days, two episodes on Sunday and the rest on Monday. Well... I guess i liked it, though no strong emotions. Maybe it's because this is no longer my main fandom, though I'm still very attached to the books and waiting for The Winds Of Winter. Or perhaps my lack of criticism is mainly due to the fact that this time I've got no book to compare the series to, and it is very relaxing for someone who wants the adaptation to be as close to the source as is only possible.
Sort of speaking of which, yesterday I was re-watching The Borgias -1, and, surprisingly, I'm starting to think that even though it is inaccurate, it's not like these are some kind of terrible inaccuracies that turn everything completely upside down. More like, it cuts down and simplifies... but I am still going to write a post about both of the Borgias-related series. (Three, actually - I've finally watched the 80's version, only this one should be in a separate post.)
But this tolerance might be the result of watching Reign, after which most of - what should I call them? - distortedly historical series and movies can seem... well, quite ok.
But now is Twin Peaks time... was supposed to have started over half an hour ago, actually, but Internet is very absorbing.
