In the midst of this sea and on the edge of this desert.

As always, years behind the actual airing of things but thank god really because what is waiting when you can mainline seasons at a time? 

Friday Night Lights! I enjoyed making some classic Tim Riggins faces at my colleague today, mostly by looking sad and pouty through my hair. I started watching the first season a few days ago and loving it so far. It's a funny thing (considering werewolves etc) but this, more than a lot of other shows I watch, really feels like a view into a way of life I just have no experience of. I think because it creates the impression of being a little more honest and uncompromising than some other shows so it feels a little more real and a lot fascinating.
Also I love how it toys with me, pulling me into the town's football obsession and then chasing it up with another facet of the dark underbelly. Also, Tami.

Aaaand I watched the whole of The Borgias last week, mostly because Holliday Grainger is the loveliest. It was so much murderous, incesty fun. All the characters were so, so enjoyable. I keep thinking about the bit where Cesare does the thing that no one else will do and then Micheletto says, "I'm in awe." I just love that it went there – it went everywhere! And it was shamelessly fun. I totally have a new OT3 in Lucrezia, Cesare and Micheletto and there will be at least a fanmix I'm guessing. What songs are there about incest again? 

Ew now I'm kinda conflating the two shows and having weird flashbacks to people yelling "Incest is best" at uni sports nights while members of the hockey team hooked up. I think one guy even had it printed on his shirt. So maybe I have a little more experience of the FNL thing than I thought. Except you know, our hockey team was very bad and not at all idolised. And I had completely blocked it from my mind till now. 

The only way to stop thinking about this is to keep watching.
