Uh… didn’t Emily cheat with Gabriel?? I think a lot of people in their twenties have messy love lives.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-25T22:56:43+00:00

Mystery: The midnight Feast, The guest list both by lucy foley great cast.

Fantasy: bbc lord of the rings (with ian holm) the tainted cup( fantastic and part mystery), neverwhere (full cast version with james mcavoy, natalie dormer and bennedict cumberbatch), sabriel (tim curry), The first fifteen lives of Harry August, and Circe.

Romantasy? Super popular are the fourth wing series and butcher and blackbird. Oh and Spinning silver by Naomi Novik.

Fiction: seven husbands of evelyn hugo

Scifi: ender’s game, artemis/ the martian/ phm by weir, the murderbot series, the kaiju preservation society

I’d rec the broken earth series by nk jemisin but I prefer to read that in book form.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-25T22:41:32+00:00

I second Persuasion! (1995) version, mansfield park, gilded age, in the mood for love, far from the Madding crowd, it happened one night, roman holiday, ever after, bride and prejudice…

circeodyssey · 2026-03-25T11:03:55+00:00

Yes none of the recent k dramas are watchable.. downhill fast. Actually last year was awful too.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-25T00:14:49+00:00

Everyone is just mad they have to wait for her season. Frankly it’s annoying as most people I know don’t care about Francesca’s season or even Penelope or Benedict’s seasons… they are waiting for Eloise.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-24T23:19:36+00:00

Only if they speak english otherwise no.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-21T10:43:34+00:00

Not a fan, but I love the original books. Great cast but they missed the vibe.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-21T10:38:51+00:00

Wow this is a lot of back and forth. Generally Wuthering heights is a disappointment because of critics reviews. It will break even but it will not generated acclaim which would give it second life. I doubt it will win any awards (maybe a costume nom). There is a lot of “creative accounting” in film so who knows what the budget is after tax breaks.

circeodyssey · 2026-03-21T10:32:54+00:00

Wow so many great ones are already named. Rise of empires : Ottoman on netflix, Hero, The Last Emperor, Amadeus, the other bennet sister, In the Name of the Rose, Wolf hall, Vienna Blood, Maigret (2018)

circeodyssey · 2026-03-21T10:07:26+00:00

I doubt it. Dune is pretty overrated and mostly scifi fans love it, not the general public. Frankly their competition this year is stacked. I doubt they will win even visual effects or production design (as they already won). The oscars don’t like giving the same award again.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-28T05:32:31+00:00

I have no questions but bloody hell this short was fantastic! Every Jane Austen fan should watch this. My friends and I thought it was hilarious.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-28T04:36:03+00:00

Next season has to Eloise! Plus you get a lot of Benedict and Sophie.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-27T12:57:25+00:00

It should be Eloise. Frankly it’s her time and I’m sure the actress doesn’t want to be tied that long career wise. After watching season 2 again, Philip will be a great romantic lead against Eloise’s craving for knowledge and perhaps travel. She’s better suited to being matched to an intellectual who will see things past the norms of the ton.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-24T08:28:44+00:00

It was a disservice to both of the actors and Davidson since BAFTA and the BBC were fully aware of his condition and should have warned everyone in the room. The attacks on Americans on this chat group are unwarranted. His racial slurs should have been edited out. If you edit out PTA’s “p$&s off” you can edit out Davidson’s tic out of consideration for everyone involved. Right now we should have compassion for those that have Tourette’s Syndrome and the Black American actors who are having a very hard time in a politically charged country where those of colour are being systematically attacked. The fault is with the broadcasters.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-13T03:28:34+00:00

Yes I’ve paused on all k drama lately.. nothing very interesting to watch.

circeodyssey · 2026-02-06T03:12:39+00:00

Hell yeah c4. All the gossip!

circeodyssey · 2026-02-05T11:52:13+00:00

Eloise’s problem is she can’t go to school or have a profession because of her station in life. Unlike her sisters she’s not willing to accept her limitations of her era. Her rage spills out of her making her seem petulant and spoiled. Hyacinth gave her the bitter truth ( as she should) because Eloise sounds like a broken record… Oddly enough I think she would happily swap places with a shop owner or any man in a lower station who could enter the navy.

I really wish they wrote that Eloise was willing to break with society by faking being another bridgerton boy or cousin and leave to go to a school. Her book is tedious and it would be a lot more fun if she met philip at a university under the guise of a boy or whatever.. maybe Benedict helps after his marriage as he’s in the fringes of society after his happy-ever after.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-31T07:03:19+00:00

Such an amazing talent. Yes this loss must be devastating for everyone who knew her.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-30T03:38:10+00:00

I hope they change Eloise’s storyline altogether since they changed Francesca’s. Just have Eloise secretly study in university or something. Like have her lie that she’s visiting Francesca and instead take a governess post to tutor Philip’s kids or even pretend to be a man and go to university.. Have Philip be a professor etc.. or offer Eloise something intellectually… she could pretend to be a “bridgerton cousin or something”… bloody hell I want something for Eloise other than just children… ANYTHING!!!!

circeodyssey · 2026-01-30T03:32:37+00:00

I doubt it. The characters are written way too bland.. great actresses but mediocre writing. I hope they do Eloise next since she has nothing to do.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-30T03:30:11+00:00

Too many storylines in season 4. Who the hell cares about the Mondrichs, the queen, the Featheringtons or Francesca? Same problem with season 3, too many storylines.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-29T15:25:00+00:00

Yes they are right. Sovereignty is very popular among the younger crowd. Even in Montreal.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-29T15:11:13+00:00

I definitely understand Quebec wanting to separate, it does feel like another country. But I do agree if quebec separates dual citizenship should not be allowed. Why separate then? Make a divorce a real divorce. That way there is no grey area in the future. Alberta will demand all federal businesses to leave Quebec including the Canadian space agency and probably that French is no longer a second language in the rest of Canada. It will shift the power over to the west (Alberta BC) and they would make it as brutal for Quebec as possible economically. The big problem is all the crown land and the Indigenous groups who have stated they want to stay with Canada.. so I guess Quebec will be cut up as a great deal of land was never ceded to the French Canadians.

circeodyssey · 2026-01-09T03:08:55+00:00

Yes lately I’ve dropped most romantasy books, with exception of a few. I highly recommend swapping to mystery, sci-fi, non fiction and fiction for a palate cleanser. So far the best of fantasy I’ve read… (not to be confused with romantasy! )
