I wonder why there’s not much online chatter about Star City. Enjoyed it, and couldn’t help think of period drama icons Bessy and Nash when these two were on the screen. Wha a crossover!

Felix Scott and Anna Maxwell Martin dressed in Soviet military uniforms in the show Star City. They’re sitting next to each other at a table and are speaking to people outside the picture across the table.

Anna Maxwell Martin in North and South. Her hair is pulled back and she stands looking off camera as puffs of cotton float around

Felix Scott as Patrick Nash in Miss Scarlet. He’s looking up from the sidewalk and smiling.

Having completed the Jane Austen reread (unless I get to the letters), here is a little gem, ‘Jane in Vain’ by Paul Jennings (1957) (Long) #c18 #c18th #18thc

JANE IN VAIN by Paul Jennings (1918-1989), published in the Sunday Observer, 1957
I often get lost in the works of Jane Austen
For Jane is my favourite writer:
Suave and satirical, Jane is a miracle,
Who subtler than Jane and who lighter?
With eloquent diction unequalled in fiction
Her characters meet and commingle,
Unlike, say, the martyrs of Camus or Sartre,
So anguished, so lonely – so SINGLE.
Though nil is the ration of bedroom and passion,
When Crawford runs off with Maria
Their sex-life, off-stage in that elegant age,
May still be assumed to have fire.

Such art, with such breeding, makes beautiful reading
But let me confess my dilemma;
I'm only safe when it's Bingleys and Bennets
I mix up Persuasion with Emma.
I've read them all thrice, I recall Fanny Price
Beneath old Sir Thingummy's aegis
Was it this Cinderella, or some Isabella
Who fell off a cliff at Lyme Regis?
I can't recall rightly if Mr. John Knightley
Resided at Donwell or Randalls,
My memory's flabby, is Northanger Abbey
The one with the Willoughby scandals?
I am quite in the dark, is it Mansfield Park
That begins with the Dashwoods all greedy
And planning what cash would be left to John Dashwood
If kept from some relative needy?

No! THEY lived at Norland – with Catherine Morland
Or Rushworth, or Bertram, or Elton,
Or perhaps Marianne, or Miss Elliot (Anne)
In scenes that all Janeites have dwelt on...

Mistress of clarity, what a disparity
Between my response and your art!
But Jane, don't complain, I shall read you again
And again, till I've got you by heart.

Random thought but I really hope the Masterpiece podcast has an episode with Felix Scott for season 7. They’ve done nearly the whole cast for Grantchester, so seems fair.

On bsky people saying don’t let anyone make you feel bad for being glad someone evil died—but you’re a prisoner of your own mind or in the wrong circles and consuming the world medium because I don’t see anyone shaming anyone. These are trial runs btw. Free yourself now from your own guilt.

I don’t read a lot on my Kindle but have to for the Emma Lion series which my library didn’t have as a book, only audiobook, so I had to do free trial of kindle unlimited. Anyway I realized I could download fanfics to the kindle and that they look nice and save my spot.

What are books like Moby-Dick I can read? I've read Poe's Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. Something immersive and a little bit wild.

sometimes i think about the early discourse around this show (WHICH I MISSED because i didn't start watching until ~2023) and how wildly different it is now.i was shocked to discover nash wasn't an obvious counter-ship (but then it was and pretty much the only ship with true energy online even now)

lol when that article quotes a passage that "sounds like a fanfic" and I have the same structure in the fic I'm currently working on. It's not a crime to have a consistent genre form! If italicizing is a crime, you're gonna have to lock me up!!
