Basically a mini analysis for the newest Greek tv show called "The Witch" (Η Μάγισσα) because I do not have anywhere else to share these thoughts.

So, basically, we see the story of Theophano unfolding in parallels with that of Andrei Sidorov, a Russian man with Greek roots who came to Mani, Greece in 1817 as a representative of The Company of Friends (Φιλική Εταιρεία idk how to translate it), a secret organisation created to inspire and organise the Greek war of independence that would not officially start till 1821.

So, Andrei comes to Mani to find a certain man, named Kanellos Laskaris, because he is told by his superiors in the Company that this man is going to be their link to further the cause of the Revolution. But this man is very friendly with the Turks, the sovereigns of the entire area. Kanellos is the last man to want to cause an uprising, an unrest in the status quo.

But then, the pirates of Mani, especially the family of Spilios Gerakaris, they're the ones who long for freedom and do not want to associate closely with the Turks at all.

And it is very important that Andrei is captured by the said pirates of the Gerakaris family before he finds Kanellos. And so, it is very interesting to see that exchange of power.

Andrei is the one looking to recruit people to the cause, while the pirates that made his life hell and almost killed him are the ones who long the most for this kind of proposal, this kind of message.

And these stories that seem to go parallel ways but at the same time conflicting each other. It is very beautifully portrayed in one particular scene.

So when Andrei is seen reading the Thurios (Θούριος, in case you want to google it bc explaining its significance here will seriously take another post), the first poem/work of literature that spoke of the need for freedom of the oppressors, we see him wondering: "who on earth will fight for freedom?"

The scene cuts abruptly to Spilios Gerakaris sword in hand, covered in blood, destroying the ship of the Laskaris family (there's a long-standing rivalry and a vendetta between the Laskaris and the Gerakaris family which is part of the storyline of the entire show).

So, I am looking forward to seeing how these conflicting but parallel ways will unfold exactly because I would love to see Spilios fighting for the cause he truly longs for and not just the vendetta. And I would love to see Andrei fulfilling his mission at last.

i sound like a broken record but good god im SO in love with the character dynamics in the show. all of it master how to portray love so so so well. percy and sally being unconditional love. the love where you would do anything to see the other person thrive, even if you won’t be there to see. percy, grover, and annabeth showing that type of love where you stick with each other through thick and thin, no one gets left behind. and all of them encapsulated show familial love. the love that we chose and give and flourish in.

the kids dont need the gods or anything like that, they have each and whats already there. and thats enough.

What tv executive do I have to fight to get season four of Backyardigans on free streaming because like almost all of my favorite episodes are from S4 and for some reason all the services that have the show are allergic to carrying that season + the one that does have it you have to buy the individual episodes to watch them

I just wanna watch Robot Rampage :(

black sails is still so insane like yeah! here you go! fun pirate show! heres the utter torment that is being queer in this time period. heres several episodes setting up an m - f - m love triangle before they reveal it was far FAR more complicated than that. here are lesbians. everyone fucking sucks. have fun

[lesbianbluesey]

agents of shield s7 really was a shockingly good conclusion to something I like… like on it’s own it’s a good season but I don’t really realize how highly I think of it overall (it’s not agents of shield s4 who’s praises I’ll sing any day of the week) until I think about how many concluding seasons or books of shows or series I love could have been better if they were more like it in a variety of ways…
