The Crown Season 3 SYN: Stuff You Know
Flying through Season 3 of The Crown!!! As always, Tobias Menzies is fantastic (once you get past the makeup to make him look older) and don't get started on Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham Carter, Josh O'Connor, etc etc!!
If you have watched this show but haven't yet gotten to Season 3, you must keep going, soldiers! WAIT until you get to where you actually REMEMBER what's happening - when it was happening!! I feel like some type of scholar!! LOL

Schitt's Creek
Schitt's Creek has gotten me through some really hard times over the past year. (Note the lack of blog entries. Yikes.) These people feel like my own family. Soooo...I wanted to share, just in case you haven't yet discovered this fabulous show that will have you uttering "Oh my GOD" and "Ew, David!" in no time!!!
Meet the Frasers Premieres TONIGHT!
Been waiting for this day for months, y'all!!! My friend Nancy and I have been to see Matt Fraser twice in the last 6 months! He's so hilarious that the medium stuff is secondary to his comedy! And he's a pretty darned good medium! (If you're into that sort of thing. LOL Don't judge.)
Meet the Frasers is on at 10:00 EST on E!

A Discovery of Witches: Who's Watching?
This show is just what I needed to wake me up out of my blogging slumber. Positively STUNNING cinematography, that is for sure. Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer ain't too hard on the eyes, either. The whole thing is a beautiful rendition of a book I had a ton of fun with while I was reading it. Check it out on Shudder when you get a chance.Also, check out this article from Thrillist entitled "Inside 'A Discovery of Witches,' the Hot Show That's Like 'Twilight' Meets 'Outlander'."
Clearly the headline grabbed me. :)
Seyit and Sura: 9 Episodes Left
OK so after temporarily breaking up with Seyit and Sura due to 1) the overpowering reality of their relationship's demise setting in, 2) too much crying for one sane person, and 3) being OVER IT with the Jack Tripper shenanigans (#Petro #Ayse)...I trod lightly BACK into Istanbul waters last night and watched Eps 34 - 36.
BOY am I glad I did. Nothing better to get you over heartache than to watch your favorite lead character transform himself into a MAJOR ASS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS right in front of your eyes...all while Sura is handling herself with grace (when she's not swigging from a vodka bottle), dignity (when she's not throwing the aforementioned vodka bottle across the room) and just a little too much Petro-friendliness (we all have our weaknesses.) But let's be honest; Seyit has become something SOOOO unfathomably different than that the Russian soldier we fell in love with.
WHAT is with the attitude toward Sura? Oh right, she's a little too tight with Petro. Fine. I get it.
WHAT is with the handlebar mustache? Ew. Just, no. Just, ew. OK it was "in" at the time. I get it.
WHAT is with the clothes? Hey Seyit, Tony Manero called, he wants his vest back. UGH. Yes, yes...1920s Istanbul. I GET IT!!Perhaps I am just lying to myself myself that I am not at all interested in this guy...but watching poor Sura hang on to their dying relationship is bringing back horrifying memories from old boyfriends I'd rather forget.
And now we come to the dreaded proposal.
ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME, SEYIT?!?!
Once again, you saw Sura having fun, which you should WANT HER TO DO after she STAYED IN ISTANBUL FOR YOU, got your business up and running while you were in jail, cries daily for you...you IDIOT. (Incidentally, I spat "IDIOT" at the screen about 5 times last night during the dreaded Episode 36.)
So your SPITEFUL, JEALOUS, STUBBORN ass is just going to run over there and propose to someone you don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW HER, Seyit!! What are you, a complete MORON?!?
OMG I have to stop. I get myself so crazed...and so much of this did NOT even happen!!
And I keep remembering that if Seyit never married Murka, the lovely Nermin Bezmen would never have been born. And that, my friends, would just be a tragedy, in and of itself. ❤️
So if you want a good representation of what *did* happen (in a page or two), take a look at Ginger Monette's outstanding WWI/Historical Fiction blog where she has interviews with Nermin Bezmen here and here. (BEWARE; they're a quagmire of spoiler reality.)
Or just buy Kurt Seyt & Shura and pour over it like I have been.
And I'm warning you; you'll cry a lot...like I just did in the garage, with my back to my son, so he wouldn't see that Mom is crying - once again - about people she does not know, who have been dead for half a century...and it's only 10:15 in the morning.
As much as I tell myself I hate Kurt Seyit, to get through these last 9 episodes, I'm completely and utterly full of caca. I am so smitten with just the mere thought of the memory of "Seyit and Sura" that it will take me a long time to get out from under this massive cloud of their eternal love.
In more formal terms; it will last for all eternity. 💔
Informal terms?
That shit will just never go away. ☺️😢
