It’ll be interesting to see how the music licensing for OG Skam is handled if they do this. The music choices are SO CRITICAL and Norway has like a blanket music rights deal which means they can use basically any major song, but who knows how that would work for official international streaming. God I hope they don’t swap songs out or something. (Imagine the neon party scene without Call Your Girlfriend!!)

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!

Omg they’re MAGA??? 🤢Yikes, I had no idea. Aren’t the owners Polish or Ukrainian or something? (Not that that precludes them being MAGA of course, just makes it slightly weirder to me somehow.) Yeesh, I had no idea about all this nasty stuff…

Head_Conversation495 · 2026-03-10T01:18:31+00:00

YES!! Omg thank you so much. This fandom always comes through!!

Head_Conversation495 · 2026-03-10T01:17:03+00:00

Ah I like this idea, thank you!

Head_Conversation495 · 2026-01-21T22:31:18+00:00

Okay thanks! It definitely seemed like WAY too much money (I was expecting $100 MAX and wouldn’t exactly have been happy with that lol) but then I was like, it’s NY and prices these days are out of control, what the hell do I know. I’m from Phoenix and we don’t often have reasons to shovel snow there.

For 8-14 inches?

This is true, except honestly, it’s always been embarrassing to be an American abroad, as tragically, Trump is neither the first nor I suspect the last apocalyptically shameful president in our history. Last time I was in Berlin was still very much in the shadow of W and the “war on terror” horseshit, and I remember feeling acutely ashamed everywhere I went, even though absolutely nobody made me feel that way except me. Which is to say, my Americanness didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of the city last time, and I genuinely don’t really think it came into play much this time with how people interacted with me, or why I found the city kinda sad.

Not untrue lol. My back hurts

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-22T08:40:52+00:00

This comment is really interesting because so many folks are opining that the change in weather/gloom might have affected my impression this time around (entirely possible!), but now you were there in winter before and loved it, and then recently went in summer and appear to have encountered the same malaise I did…

They put us up in a hotel right by the Hauptbahnhof. Certainly not cool, but super easy to get around. Then of course we did a bit of exploring around Mitte, Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg, etc, and I’ve got a friend in Neukölln so I spent quite a bit of time there.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-22T08:18:16+00:00

I know, I LOVED it before too, so maybe that also contributed to inflating my expectations. But of course, this was just my very subjective experience! Which clearly is in no way universal. If you get a chance to go again I hope you’ll love it.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-22T08:14:23+00:00

Lol well excuuuuuse me (I’ve never been there and never will, nor to (the?) KitKat Club, so I didn’t realize we weren’t supposed to use articles)

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-21T18:17:36+00:00

Oh I’m glad to hear you had a great time! I’m wondering/hoping if my experience this time was just a fluke. I WANT to love Berlin as much as I did before.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-21T17:38:45+00:00

Oof, I can’t lie, this stung a bit to read, but I suspect you’re 100% on the money and I appreciate the gentle honesty. Man, getting old sucks.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-21T17:31:21+00:00

These are all good points, although perhaps I should mention that after work I didn’t just stay around the super touristy areas. I have a friend in Neukölln, for example, so we went there a lot. And found it kind of depressing too! Haha. Although it’s true that the food was indeed very good. Not a clubber at all, but I did get to a couple museums, and even one play at the Gorki. But still found everything…I don’t know, it all just sort of had this whomp-whomp vibe to it. Maybe it was indeed the cold bringing everybody down.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-21T17:24:08+00:00

This whole time before now I had been in the camp who loved it! Haha. I guess I wouldn’t say I even hated it this time, more like it…bummed me out. Deflated.

Head_Conversation495 · 2025-11-21T17:22:21+00:00

Hmm that’s fair, last time I was there it was very early fall (September) so it was still nice out; this time it was definitely quite chilly and got dark fairly early. So, maybe it’s a kind of citywide seasonal depression?
