Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I don't think I'll manage the anime, Rayne, but I'd love to find an English translation of Mo Dao Zu Shi. Go to the source, as it were. I've been cheating on my watching partner--we're up to ep. 39? I think? on Netflix, and I've watched ahead a few eps on YT.
I am all about the Wei WuXian and Lan Wangji, ITYW, but there are lots of secondary and tertiary characters I'm intrigued by and fond of, as well. I got lost to begin with in the scenery (OMG) the sets, the props, and the costumes, as well as all the pretty, pretty people! It's the farthest step away I can imagine that doesn't involve vore or horror from national and international politics, plague, and indigenous and environmental disaster. One has to park one's consciousness in a safe, pretty bubble fairly regularly or lose it altogether. Speaking of the Wei/Lan, someone likened them to Aubrey and Maturin--or House and Wilson. I can sorta see it.
ETA: Justified IS awesome. Not least for the fact that they told their story and ended in five seasons. Amazing regulars and recurrings and fantastic guest stars, pretty damn good writing and occasional gobsmacking cinematography. "Rat t'ere's good," is still a useful part of the family vernacular.
ETA 2: Apparently they're making a The Untamed sequel, with younger actors (the original leads have moved on with their careers), and from promo gifs a much lower budget. How disappointing.

While I don't have any objection to adult material in appropriate projects (I cheered Lucifer going to Netflix and being able to incorporate profanity and nudity, after all), I have zero desire to see naked hobbits fucking.

But if it's elves rather than hobbits ....

Showtime announced they're going to do a limited "revival" series for Dexter. COME ON NETFLIX, YOU'RE ALREADY SHOWING THE SUPERIOR SERIAL KILLER SHOW. OFFER TO MAKE S4.

I loved Justified. Margo Martindale was amazing in S2. I have a thing for shows that cover blue collar communities without making poor people out to be idiots or saints. I grew up in an industrial town (cement manufacturing rather than mining) and there were a lot of grace notes in Justified that read as "home" to me. Only there was an unfortunate dearth of Timothy Olyphants in my home town.

As far as I can tell, there exists an unfortunate dearth of Timothy Olyphants everywhere.
Amazon's LoTR series puts out a casting call for actors "comfortable with nudity": >[link]Yeah, I don't want this. I thought that piece at The One Ring did a good job of doing my thinking and speaking for me.

Todd Stashwick guests as prison guard Ash Murphy in season 3 of Justified. I remembered him as Dracula in "Monster Movie," the black and white season 4 episode of Supernatural.
What I did not remember or realize is that he played the M'Fashnik demon in BtVS 6.04, "Flooded," as well as the Vocah demon in the Angel season 1 finale, "To Shanshu in L.A."
He had a recurring role in the fourth season of Heroes, too. I must have stopped watching by then.
