Guardian start
May. 31st, 2019 01:48 pmSo, I finally got a little time free to start watching Guardian, and yeah, that was a rabbit-hole waiting to happen, just like I figured it would be.
Em, you definitely want this one, when you have space for it. There is SO MUCH PINING. Oh my goodness, we have a legit evergreen forest going on, there, and not for the usual, stupid “I can’t use my words” reasons but much tastier “we’re a bird and a fish right now, FML” reasons.
I hear that a fair whack of the novel fans can’t stand the drama, and I respect that. I am personally still not over the LOTR movies cutting so much of Faramir. And the ‘science’ that has replaced the original mythological cosmology is indeed pretty eye-roll-worthy. But coming to the TV drama adaptation as its own thing I’m actually very impressed by the coherence and symbolic integrity of the story.

In conclusion: SLAIN WITH THE FEELS.
