shakespeare in chronological order: 37
Play: The Tempest
Movie: The BBC version
Reason for choosing movie: While other versions exist, this was the one preferred by the collective intelligence of Netflix.
Tropes noticed: Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter, The Chessmaster, The Magic Goes Away, Parental Marriage Veto (subverted), Author Avatar, Invisibility, Deadpan Snarker
Moments of WTF: The big one was Ariel, who dressed (or, rather, didn't dress) like Gollum and bore a striking resemblance to Eric Idle. Prospero not being William Hutt. :(
...and we're done, only 374 days after the beginning of this madness. Holy crap.
