You know how this goes

So the autumn is almost here and the temperatures dropped and the fall TV is slowly starting. I'm watching The Bastard Executioner and I feel like I'm an oracle as I know what will happen long before it does. Just like that witch. Or maybe it's just so full of clichés that one simply knows what will happen next. The whole thing with the evil baron, dead pregnant wife and revenge plot was so obvious I didn't even have strength to feel upset by the fridging (but he came to live on the land of the guy who schemed to get him killed in the war how could it end well). It surprised me for a moment when the soldier let her live but then he was obviously killed by that guy who was with the witch (the secret was so obvious they only kept it for one episode - at least they don't pretend it's a real mystery and we don't spend the season trying to figure it out). And that the witch did it to force him to his destiny. Even the future romance with the baroness is so obvious I knew it was going to happen before they ever met (and rolled my eyes when they looked at each other first time). Also the evil gay (bisexual? - he obviously wants the baroness for himself and is jealous already but it's probably because he wants to marry her for power) chamberlain who is so evil he even kills his brother (because he saw him fucking a servant? made gay jokes? I'm not sure). At least setting this in Wales is somewhat original for American production and gives us some different sounding names (Matthew Rhys can finally just be Welsh). I'm also trying to decide if I should qualify this as fantasy as it seems we are supposed to take the supernatural elements seriously but they were kind of cheesy.

So the best thing I saw today was the collection of Scott Kelly's photos from space. Look how beautiful Earth looks. That I could watch it all day.
