My mother is researching my dad’s Grandfather’s war stories, he was living in Amsterdam, thing is him and his contemporaries were serious about taking the details to their graves.
Oooh yeah I’ve heard similar things from people who’ve asked the older generation for their war stories. Though good on them for really wanting to keep their promises I guess?
omg, have I converted someone else? :D
It’s up to you really. Season 1 has its moments (quite a lot of them in fact, especially in the season finale), but it also has, I dunno, kind of a sexist streak? This article (spoilers!) kind of sums up the problems with it, but YMMV?
But in season 2 it got really, AMAZINGLY good, and also not sexist. Characters who were kinda one-note before suddenly got personalities and pasts and arcs, and world-building was done and development was had and it was just…REALLY REALLY good, and also an utterly shattering exploration of death and grief. (With fart jokes). And season 3 shows no sign of slipping so far. So, um, it’s up to you where you wanna watch from really, but those are my thoughts!
Oooh! Man, I wish Saga Journal was still around. But other than that-
There’s my article about the fandom, from earlier this year. Man, that was fun! There’s the original post that inspired it, too, and the multitude of awesome comments it got…
Swprequelframes is pretty groovy
It probably doesn’t count as meta if it’s the writer saying it, but I always liked Lucas’s take on Anakin
And this meta about Qui-Gon’s death is good too!
Anyone got anything else?
Oh sweet! Thank you!
