Any game background needed? What shows would you compare it to?

No, no game experience needed.

Secrets of the Octopus is starting out really good. When dud more than 1 become octopuses?

And, damn, no more pulpo for 99.

Not a TV show, but finally got to American Fiction last weekend. Can't remember the last movie I watched that was as good. Funny, tragic, surprising, inventive, hopeful, earnest. Meaningful, but without being self-serious.

Finishing up Vikings on Netflix, had never watched it before for some reason. Thoroughly enjoyable late night watching. Fun to imagine living at such a time in such a place. What a bizarre existence that must have been. I like to imagine stealing someone from those times and bringing them to our time a la Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I enjoyed the parts of Shogun that were like this - it is fascinating to think about the notion of cultures colliding.

Yeah, just thinking how wildly different such cultures were when the reality was that they weren't terribly far apart is interesting. I also find the fact that many women were warriors and leaders of communities and not just relegated to being baby factories to be refreshing and fascinating.

I haven't watched Shogun yet; I may try that next.
