Lockdown Update Day 311

Today you get a few diverting and entertaining things. :)

Ancient Ship war (quite short):

When I say fandom has never changed throughout history, only our access to each other and ready ability to feud in front of crowds of the community and other people. pic.twitter.com/oALgVFqc7B

Three episodes into "It's a sin" and it's brilliant. Sad but brilliant. Everyone should watch this!

elisi January 26 2021, 18:14:15 UTC

I've yet to start, I am waiting for a chance to sit down & watch uninterrupted. Am also steeling myself.

dieastra January 26 2021, 22:01:51 UTC

I read that some binge all 5 episodes at once but that would be too much for me.
But I did love every single one of the characters right from the beginning. Brilliant writing and brilliant acting. Such sweet relationships and friendships.

But yeah, a tissue box might be needed.

elisi January 26 2021, 22:05:09 UTC

Yeah, RTD is verrrrry good at what he does.

I shall stock up on tissues. Thank you for the warning, although given the subject matter... :(

Other than Doctor Who, I really haven't watched any other RTD stuff. Maybe I should do that.

I watched Queer as Folk, but only the American version. I loved it and it seems to be one of the very few examples where the American is better than the original, so I never tried the other one.

He is generally excellent, so yes, seek him out! :)

I have never seen either (I know, I know) so can't comment...

(Late reply is late, sorry. Time just seems to vanish at the moment.)

dieastra February 28 2021, 18:54:05 UTC

So? Have you watched it by now?

elisi February 28 2021, 18:55:53 UTC

NO! :(

We are watching too many other things... But hopefully soon, once we have gotten through other series.

And now?

See I had time off a few weeks ago and had planned to watch and... I just couldn't bring myself to it. Might have to wait until happier times, I just couldn't cope with historical tragedy on top of the current tragedies. :( I need escapism. But ONE DAY!

It did sometimes indeed remind me of current times, the way people reacted differently to the rumors of this new disease.

Well, I'm kinda glad I already watched "Chernobyl" back in 2019 when it originally aired.
They finally showed it on German TV some weeks ago and while I recommended it to friends and co-workers, I couldn't bring myself to watch it again either.
Because I remember how there were scientists saying what would happen and politicians who ignored the scientists... sound familiar?

I'll keep checking back then! Set the timer for - one year? LOL

Mmm, there's another one that I keep telling myself I ought to watch and haven't yet. History repeating itself is very depressing...

Sure! Although when I watch it I will probably talk about it, so it'll appear on your flist. :)
