The first season of Castlevania is basically all setup and prologue for season two, which is the real first season and where the story really kicks into gear.
I didn't expect to like Castlevania but s2 and s4 were pretty damn good

S3 is a bit of a lull, I really liked the humor of S1 and S2. Oddly, by S4 the people I cared the least about to start I cared the most about, and vice versa.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Season 2 Isaac is...decent. He has good moments, but his reserve means that he needs more room to shine than the plot gives him.
Season 3-4 Isaac is magnificent. Everything from his otherworldly fightscenes to his philosophical debates with flydemon. Which I think were intended to be some kind of antithesis to the qu'ran revelations. Instead of preaching to the desert spirits, isaac engages nightcreatures (and sorcerors and witches) in dialogue; and from them gains insight and purpose.

Season 2 Isaac is boring as wood.
Season 3 he gets character development.
S4
He becomes the most interesting person and the only one to have real, actual growth by the end. Having moved beyond his lust for revenge and forgiven Hector.

I knew the maps were wrong in the show but I just assumed it was a "hey old maps were good enough for navigating but they're pretty jank compared to the real world" situation. Especially when she pulled out the world map.
Cool but until electric stoves stop being shit I'm going to keep sucking on this gas stove tailpipe. Also get a good hood if you have a gas stove, not some garbage microwave vent.
They already stopped being shit, it's called induction, they said it in the video.
Also when is the last time you used an electric stove. I cook on one every goddamn day and I promise it has not effected my cooking at all.
Where is the electricity coming from?
Unless you're over 50% solar, chances are natural gas is still greener than running current through your house to power an induction burner.
It doesn't matter?
An electrical grid is an infinitely more efficient use of burning gas and easier to make green than burning open gas in your home.
This is patently false. We lose about 40% of the power generated when transmitted long distance over power lines.

A) That's what smart grids are supposed to fix I have never heard this number before, got a source?
Here's what I was going off of for my initial post:
A very, very quick way to send chills down my spine:

Holy shit, this did not have to go so absolutely fucking hard. What a ride.
I actually just watched Battlestar for the first time. Finished the series about a month ago.
Bear McCreary is someone that will make me interested in something if he's just attached to it. We've had bootlegs of these concert performances for about 10 years, but to get the official release now is awesome. Plus the concert stuff is up on spotify!

what an atrocious design

you cant trick me, no squid has ever died
It's not so bad as long as you're not very short
Keeps children from fiddling with them
You have to reach over the heat sources to turn down the heat
That's not ideal
Instead of dials, each burner had a series of push buttons for different heat settings.
The 80s.
haha I posted this a couple of weeks back. It may have been.
I actually came across FWO before Live at the Necropolis though. I think it's a legit cool song - granted I fucking love synths.
edit: a word
Not that the first season was bad. It just left me feeling kinda underwhelmed.
The group dynamic of the Castlevania Crew is frequently the highlight of the show.

Also it seems like a bit of a wink when Carmilla refers to him as "The least interesting man in Dracula's castle".

@Athenor I heard you like crazy camera work
But it just seems so... soulless and corporate?
Like a lot of the time the performers just look kind of bored. Like they've done this dance routine so many times it's no longer any fun.
And there are so many of them. Like... replaceable parts in a dance-troupe machine.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
Funny you should post that today since Netflix just put out their first episode of their own version of schoolhouse rock -
