Leslie Sharp and Andrew Lincoln

Look, you never listen, you never watch the movies or shows that I go on and on about.
But once in a blue moon, ONE of you trusts me a tiny bit, Keith just started Chuck, he got to episode 10 without even trying, Denise watched Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica and was amazed.

So I am rewatching an episode of Dr Who, dont worry, you would hate it, but it guest stars Leslie Sharp and she is AMAZING. So the first time that I was watching this one episode, as always happens when I am watching and entertaining myself, I google the show and look at what else actors have done.

Well, Leslie Sharp was in a short series with Andrew Lincoln.

WAIT WHAT? Andrew Lincoln? The same guy from The Walking Dead?
Well I love that series, so of course I would be interested in something that both of them were in, right?
RIGHT??

Afterlife
University lecturer Robert Bridge (Andrew Lincoln) becomes involved in a series of supernatural events surrounding medium Alison Mundy (Lesley Sharp) in this chilling TV series.

Look, I am not sure how I would explain this to convince you to watch it.
Haunting
Compelling
Amazing
One of my all time favorites.

Like all supernatural stories, they ask you to suspend disbelief. And if they ask too much, you can not enjoy the show. This one ask for the tiniest bit. One that a lot of people already believe, which makes the transition so easy. She can see ghosts.

That's it. She can see ghosts.

The consequences though are what make the stories amazing.
Some of them wont leave her alone. Some living want to contact the dead. Some are restless spirits, trying to be released.

Andrew Lincoln plays a psychologist who interviews her. Of course, he has a few ghosts of his own. Which will break your heart.

In the end, this is just some amazing writing and acting and directing from the BBC.

Enjoy

PS
If anyone ever watches this, let me know, I really want to know what you thought!

SHIT PISS FUCK CUNT - swearing in the future

The article was pretty worthless without discussing what would be the NEW profanity topics. Science Fiction has led the way in a bunch of different stories and we can go from there.

If and when the vegans get there way and become the majority, there will be many swear words for the meat eaters.
Carnivorewould become an insult.

Recycling and waste. Look at how people already look at you funny if you toss a can or bottle in the trash. There is clearly something wrong with you. Waster! Dont get me started about wasting water or electricity, you  nasty clean freak.

If homo-sex became more common than hetero-sex, people would be ripping on straights and breeders.

FFS look at how the Luddites have turned education into an insult already. Elite has become an insult!!

At some point if the atheists ever become the majority, believers would be the new group to hate on.

1% percenters havent quite turned into a hated group. But if the economy died, they certainly would join the ranks of the insulted.

Private vs public transportation.
Private homes vs Renters
Full time vs part time
Healthy vs sick
Fat vs trim
Tall vs short

strange, the article didnt mention any of these as what the future would hold for swear words.

Conservatives, liberals, bigots.
When does moderate become an insult?

Prude will come back in fashion to insult the people who are still insulted by shiat piss fark.

Facebook Changed the World

So
The world has CHANGED.

We have NEW THINGS.
I have people who are FB friends.
More than strangers, less than close friends (in the normal definition).
I have friend who I have met through games (wow in my case).
More than strangers, less than traditional close friends.

Does having not met some of these people in real life make them less than friends?
Well that is the NEW PART. The world has changed. Some I have met, some I will meet, some I never will. But some have become very close in strange, wonderful ways.


There is Patricio. A modern day Renaissance man. Just amazing stories and times. (and a trip to mexico will solve the never having met in RL)
There is Mélanie with one of the most amazing kids.

But the list goes on and on.
The people who are friend of a friend. Who we touch so briefly. So lightly.
Pictures of happenings. Moments shared.
Are they less meaning full because we have never met in RL?
Really?

To dismiss them out of hand, well, it feels like such an insult to me. And more so, to them.


Then there are the people, friends that were long, long gone, that I have reconnected with. I had dinner and saw a talk with a long lost friend from college, it was amazing. Like we hadnt stopped. Except for all the new stuff. Good and Bad.


Make what you will out of it.
But Facebook has changed the world.
Like all new things, there has been great good from it.
And great evil.


But dont you dare dismiss it. Because that is so simplistic.

And insulting.
To me.
