Indeed man. That fact has intrigued me for a long time. And it is not entirely mysterious if we look at what exactly these great shows are pushing, world-view wise.
This is why Vikings is still my number one favourite show actually, because the world view it pushes is actually Pagan. It takes the existence of Gods entirely literally.
I thought it had fizzled after season 3 or 4 but season 6 is powerful, it introduces Rus. Like, Russians. Russians and Vikings. It doesn’t really get much better.
It is highly glamorous and sentimental at points but, we Vikings are suckers for good sentiment and craftsmanship.
Some of these shows you mention Ive watched, Ozark I noticed immediately when it came out and when season 3 came out I first re-watched 1 and 2. Very good. I really enjoy the hillbilly Jacob, too. Season 3 takes a very interesting turn for Darlene.
I think Ill check out some of these others you recommend.
I’ve probably only seen like 3 episodes of GoT… so cannot comment on the little I’ve seen, but the eps I watched had the tomboy in them… and I thought she was cool. I thought Buffy and Xena Warrior Princess worthy to watch… for their esoteric nature as well as their fight scenes, and also the Hercules, Highlander, and Angel series… amongst others.
Have you ever seen a female in head-to-toe pink, including all accessories and makeup? There’s something quite disturbing about it, to me.
The only things I buy in pink, are female sanitary stuff and makeup, and the very few pink items of clothing I do possess are more beigey pinks than pinky pinks. I was never dressed up all in pink, when a child, though I’ve seen pictures of me in church in frilly things.
Here’s that movie by the way which isn’t to be found anywhere, Trop de Bonheur.
I taped it in the 90s, then digitized that tape 10 years later. I had taped it on “long play”, meaning low quality, so the digitization didn’t go without asyncin some audio.
But its a perfect movie as far as Im concerned.
Ill probably end up removing it in a while.
Chernobyl was great. Even more fascinating since it is a real story.
It shows how people and certainly powerful people deal with problems of their own creation or that might affect their reputation. It certainly shows the way this plays out in the old Soviet system, but one can see this behavior with corporations, Western governments, and heck, in families.
It also shows how people do not deal with THE REAL (not in the Lacanian sense, but reality) because of their models of the world.
I kept thinking about 9/11, but even those who do not believe in anything classed as a conspiracy theory in the pejorative sense can the see pattern of denial when people deal with things they don’t think are possible.
Someone just-recently asked me if Chernobyl is now safe to visit. A funny coincidence, imo.
What a horrifying aftermath that disaster caused, and lives lost in the most awful of ways.
Experts believe the areas around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will remain uninhabitable for at least 20,000 years. The figure 20,000 years apply to the area around the power plant itself. Areas around the exclusion zone are thought to be uninhabitable for least 3,000 years according to some experts.

And they could have prevented a lot of deaths. A lot. But they didn’t want to lose face. And they couldn’t believe what the experts were telling them. Even experts refused to listen to experts. Some very brave people risked their lives in all sorts of different ways to save people.
And one thing I learned was that it neatly led to an unimaginably large explosion that would have affected the whole world. Luckily (and on the back of three extremely brave men) they were able to prevent this.
Midsomer Murders is a detective drama[1] set in modern-day England. The stories revolve around the efforts of Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, and later his successor, cousin John Barnaby, to solve numerous murders that take place in the picturesque but deadly villages of the fictional county of Midsomer. The Barnabys have worked with several different sergeants throughout the run of the show: Detective Sergeant (DS) Gavin Troy (), DS Dan Scott (), DS Ben Jones (), DS Charlie Nelson () and DS Jamie Winter.[/b]
I’ve gone from watching American crime shows to British ones… I found that the former had become far too gruesome, and the latter, of more quaint and devious storylines rather than shock and horror.
Yeah I left it up there fore a few weeks but took it down again.
I keep having a bad feeling having it up on my account. Im sure there is a reason they have tried to erase it from existence, Im expecting they would delete my account or something for copyright violation.
