It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Did anybody tell you to start with Ep. 3, watch through ep. 30 something, watch 1&2 and continue? I didn't do that, and on rewatch I didn't again, b/c I knew stuff this time. I've rewatched, and have most of the characters, their connections and associations worked out, and am working on remembering the names. The pretty is very distracting.

I checked Netflix just now. I remembered there was a 'languages and subtitles' button, and yes, I was right. You have a choice of multiple languages, none of which is English, so I can see your problem. Thanks for giving it a shot though. I have no idea why I've tumbled in so deep to this series. I'm holding off on my third (!) rewatch and doing some meta reading. Plus, Netflix has several similar shows, so I'll be sampling some of those. I do think the complicated, gorgeous fantasy has been a valuable antidote to real life the past several weeks. I probably wouldn't have had the patience, otherwise.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oh, my tumblr feed is roughly 40-40 The Untamed and The Witcher, with a smattering of Supernatural making up the rest. It’s definitely fannish catnip.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm going to end up watching The Untamed, aren't I? Dammit.

;^) I'm following a couple of Untamed mavens on my Tumblr--one is also an SPN and a Shadowhunters fan, so that works out nicely, she's laoih. Another, who has done a lot to help me clarify who's who and related to who and the whys and wherefores is hysieme--they do a lot of meta. And several gif and pic pushers are around, too.

So. very. pretty.

Anyone else watching S3 of Star Trek: Disco? I'm enjoying it quite a lot. The last episode was really interesting: I wasn't as into the character stuff with Burnham (I think the narrative rewarded her too quickly), but I loved the stuff they're doing with Vulcans and Romulans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I agree she was rewarded pretty darn fast - but I love how they move things along

Orphan Black did that too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Star Trek Discovery has been my ultimate TV comfort food during all of this. This season is so different and it's taking me a while to get into it, but I'm getting there.
