Contes et récits de l'histoire de Carthage by Jean Defrasne
Le Déchronologue by Stéphane Beauverger.
I managed to read one chapter of Le Déchronologue. This story is batshit in the best possible way. SERIOUSLY. It is so good. SO GOOD.
I have also caught up on the Lucifer v2 comic run and I am enjoying it so far. I'll wait until the end of this arc to talk about it, though.
Speaking of the devil, I am officially all caught up with Lucifer (so episode 9, as I write this). Way back when the trailer came out, I said I was "cautiously interested". I've grown ever more fond of this show as it went on, in a cheesy, dorky, surprisingly enjoyable given everything, but not terribly challenging sort of way -- which, tbh, is exactly what I want in my visual entertainment right now.
Then the ending to episode 9 hit me like a ton of bricks. Specifically, the first minute or so of this vid:
Look at him. Look at how angry he is.
It's always been my favourite interpretation of the Lucifer myth when it's not about power alone, but about free will. When it's not so much about reigning in Hell as it is about not serving in Heaven. About being free.
I never thought the show would get anywhere close to this sort of metaphysical interrogation, because it seemed so far content to be Lucifer learns to human (guest-starring supernatural shenanigans). It hasn't been afraid to shake its own status quo (see the endings of the last two episodes), but it hasn't gone into anything like this before.
It's a really pleasant surprising that it's gone there. I am always here for Predestination vs Free Will.
I am, always and forever, Team Free Will. And if that makes me of the Devil's party?
Then hell yes I'm gonna party.
(I have can watch about 30mns of TV a day, currently. I'm keeping up with Lucifer, Legends of Tomorrow and Underground, currently, while filling the rest of the time with Clone Wars. Actually, let me show you wtach my "have watched up to this point" list is: jessica jones (s1e2 00:00), supergirl (s1e3 00:00), agent carter (s2e3), lucifer (s1e10 00:00), legends of tomorrow (s1e9 00:00), clone wars (s2e13), underground (s1e2 00:00), shannara (s1e6 00:00), daredevil (s2e1 00:00), ds9 (can't remember where I stopped), orphan black (ditto). Idk that I will finish watching all of these, but so far I still want to watch more.)
