BBC Horizon: Hubble - The Wonders of Space Revealed (2020)

This documentary is like a week old and it's very pretty. It presents the story of the cosmic observatory and shows both people who took care of Hubble and the images provided by the little helper.

I admit, I grew up watching images provided by it and I can't imagine my school years without them.

Hubble is 30 this year.

[Review] Loss:Time:Life (2016)

This is a Korean remake of a Japanese series from 2008 and it's followed by two other installments, all on my list to watch. 

It consists of 9 episodes with the last one being about the referees only, so we have two separate stories with 4 episodes each.

National Geographic Vanishing Kings: Desert Lions of Namib (2016)

This one is beautiful AND informative. Three minutes in I learned that one lion's territory here is the size of Switzerland. The five males are even called by one observing scientist - Five Musketeers. And one of their mothers is 17 years old, which is very old for a lion in the wilderness. Which means she's an incredible hunter. And her passing was really hard to watch.
And humans killed the last adult male desert lion. Now it's up to those 5 boys.

[Review] Office Watch (2017)

This review will be short because the drama is short. It has only 8 episodes around 6 minutes each which makes around 50 minutes in total.

But it's probably one of the cutest and funniest things I have seen lately. I know there is a second season, a bit longer (slightly over 70 minutes long) and with different cast, but I'm yet to watch it.

Saturday Poetry Corner 34: Silver

 

Today, a short poem by Walter de la Mare.

Walter de la Mare, born on April 25, 1873 in London, is considered one of modern literature’s chief exemplars of the romantic imagination. His complete works form a sustained treatment of romantic themes: dreams, death, rare states of mind and emotion, fantasy worlds of childhood, and the pursuit of the transcendent. (from here)

Kings of the Desert (2017)

See, there's a reason I absolutely hate recaps - because I really don't need people to tell me what I saw. And this documentary is exactly this - it tells you what's going on on the screen. It has 0% of any knowledgeable info presented. 

But I watched it for the kitties. Fear not, I have another docu lined up - Vanishing Kings - Desert Lions of Namib. Maybe a better one.

Throwback Thursday Part 54

On this day in 1516 The German Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) is enforced across all of Bavaria by Wilhelm IV, Duke of Bavaria, stating beer should be brewed from only three ingredients – water, malt and hops. This is why today's Throwback Thursday is to the song featuring any alcoholic drink mention. So such nonsense as drunk on love etc.

KBS Drama Special 2019: Goodbye, B1

As always, a little story, spanning more or less for a month, centered around the moving out. Nothing more trivial, right? And yet, it managed to tell a much wider story just with that premise.

Saturday Poetry Corner 33: A Thing Of Beauty (Endymion)

 

Today - a poem about the beauty by John Keats. Because I was inspired by my friend's cat. The poem that was supposed to go today will go the next week.

BBC Our World: The Trees that Bleed (2020)

This documentary is actually a hard one to watch. It deals with many problems facing Africa as a continent and its particular countries. If you want more insight, go to YouTube (this documentary is there) and read the comments from the people who live there. There is a new colonialism on the rise and yet most people don't seem to see it. Or want to see it.
