No rest for the wicked
Jan. 22nd, 2012 12:54 pmI'm in Marking Hell so I won't be online much in the upcoming days.
Hopefully, when I'm done with those 54 essays on totalitarianism, I will get around to writing down my thoughts on the last three episodes of Deadwood...
As for now, I just wanted to say that I've begun to watch Homeland (my way of reacting to the SOPA/PIPA/HADOPI stuff) and I find it quite interesting and a bit disturbing. Not the terrorist plot per se or the very doubtful methods displayed on screen by the State agents, but in the way the show tackles the issue of voyeurism while providing a sort of meta commentary on the things we can know when watching a scene and the dark we still remain in. Watching Carrie (or Virgil) watch Brody and his family, is a bit like watching ourselves watching a tv show.
There's a lot of subtle and refreshing stuff in that series, even though the writing isn't perfect and also indulges in some cliches from time to time.
