Apr. 20th, 2013 10:33 amHad a really difficult week - so am sort of hibernating over the weekend and cleaning my apartment. No worries - nothing strenuous. Plus the shots are thankfully helping, the back pain has receded to an occasional dull ache.
Anyhow...got caught on flist, then decided to search out OUAT spoilers...and discovered a non-spoiler, but rather interesting tid-bit:
Once has become so successful that they are developing a Once Upon a Time spin-off entitled - Once: Wonderland. The spin-off will be a similar set up to ONCE in that it takes place in post-curse world, and the same universe as ONCE. It will also tie in to the ONCE series. It's set up as a 13 episode series, that will act as a bridge between Once seasons - ie. start in the Summer and end in the fall. Sort of like An American Horror Story model - self-contained. If it is really successful, it may be picked up as a full time series. Head writers right now are the writer of Prison Break and Jane Espenson, and the lead character will be Alice (post-curse) with two companions. With flashbacks to Wonderland, like we have flashbacks to the Fairy-Tale World.
If it works, they'll extend the franchise even further. Sort of like the NCIS/CSI franchise,but more interesting and innovative and less repetitious.
From Flist - discovered that GRRM has bought an old movie theater in Santa Fe. His entry on this bit is hilarious. He's basically reassuring hisinsane fandom that buying a theater will not take him away from his writing duties - that he will still be focusing his attention on editing anthologies, writing tv scripts, and finishing A Song of Ice and Fire.
Poor guy. This is what happens when you decide to write a seemingly endless series of novels, you create aninsane fandom that decides until you finish said series - it owns you and will relentlessly pester you until you do. That said, I have to admit - the fandom has a point, GRRM takes an insane amount of time to write his books. Five-six years per book. Imagine waiting five-six years for each season of the tv series? Right there with you.
Regarding current events (Texas and Boston) - there was a rather lovely quote posted by the folk musician Janis Ian on Facebook, attributed to Ghandi - it stated: "“I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” ~Mahatma Gandhi (More or less says it all. Violence regardless of the justification never has a lasting positive resolution. Also, why does the legislature still refuse to ban machine guns? (I know they aren't called that - but I can't remember the name off hand. Sigh.) I know it is hard to believe but we aren't going to be invaded by zombies tomorrow, you need to turn off the tv and stop playing video games.)
