TV Series Opening 49: Hotel Del Luna

 

It's on my list, I'm getting there, don't haunt me.

Oh wait...

[First Impression] Train

Now, many plot devices here can be wonky as for now, even though we are in the 1/3rd of the series so far (12 episodes in total), but one thing this series has superior to every other now - the cinematography. The shots, especially at the abandoned train tracks and the station, the transitions and the colors are both eerily beautiful and unsettling.

[First Impression] 365: Repeat The Year

At first traveling back in time may seem like a brilliant idea, given that humans always have regrets over past events and they would always do things differently. But we never ask for the price of it.

TV Series Opening 34: Doom Patrol

OK, I just started to watch the first episode, but godsdamn, the opening credits are BEAUTIFULLY done.

TV Series Opening 28: The Game of Thrones

OK, I do have an ambiguous stance on the series, but the opening IS really well made and powerful.

TV Series Opening 17: Penny Dreadful

This is not for the faint of heart. Snakes, scorpions, bugs and blood.

Bookshelf Part 5

Another bundle of books I've recently finished.

Bookshelf Part 4

 

Another bookshelf presented. As always, I don't include academic books because even though they can be fun, they are sometimes regional and no use telling about them.

Bookshelf Part 3

Another month, another post.
Last few weeks I've been reading lots of boring, scientific-ey stuff not worthy being mentioned here. Also, gros of those are in my own native language and I doubt anyone would be interested to hear about a book on hermeneutics.
Without further ado, let's do it!

The Play in Game of Thrones - Analysis

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

The Season 6 is still running and it would be unwise to guess the direction, especially that we have no books to turn to for help. However, up to today, the show had few great moments and more than a fair share of bore-fest inducing ones. I have never made it a secret that I only cared about the North, with Winterfell, Starks and The Wall (or north of The Wall, for that matter). This season has only strengthened my belief that I chose well for caring about the characters. Anything else is just bland. 

Except for the play that Arya was watching.

The play fascinated me from the first moment it appeared on the screen. I will try to explain why now.

Nowhere Boys

   I stumbled upon this little series (13 episodes of the first season, 25 minutes each) during my desperate search to find something to watch. I read the synopsis and decided to give it a chance. And I don't regret it at all. According to IMDb: "This fantasy action-adventure series follows four teenage boys who get lost in the forest and discover, when they return home, that they are in an alternate world identical to theirs except for one startling difference - they were never born." 

How cool is that?

Where politics meet magic

   Out of frustration that I'm unable to finish what I'm writing, lack of time to do it and lack of sugar in my blood, I decided to write some of my (hardly any) thoughts on drama that lately became kinda crack for me. Let's hope I won't have the compulsory rehab when all goes wrong, but so far, The Great Seer kicks ass. Literally. Some of the character settings remind me of Gyebaek, but it's understandable, because it all falls neatly in the pattern of "Birth of a Hero", so I'm not complaining. Can't complain about archetypes anyway.
