Hey, I figured out how to make gifs!

I’ve been wanting to see a gif set of this for a long time. One of my favorite scenes from Battlestar Galactica. 

Don’t fuck with the teacher, she’ll destroy you. 

This scene is beautiful for its subtly. 

In the last episode, these two had said some angry words: “You’re so afraid to live alone!  / “And you’re afraid to die that way!”

We needed to see them make-up, right?

Of course Laura will not die alone. Bill will be there, reading to her at her bedside, during every treatment. 

As always. 

The acting here is brilliant. GIFs cannot show this. There’s no dialogue beyond what Bill is reading in the book. But you can see Laura is grateful he’s there. He was right. She is scared to die.

And Bill is sorry. He’s telling her - through the book’s words - how much he loves her. 

She will never be alone. 

Because of him. 

She understands and smiles. 

Oh and the book?

Love & Bullets, by Nick Taylo, Chapter One. 

“It started like it always did. With a body. This one was in the river. I could tell she had once been beautiful, but this bullet and fast current had taken away from her. All we are, all that we think we are. All that we are certain about is taken away from us. 

When you’ve worked the streets and seen what I’ve seen, you become more and more convinced of it every day. Caprica City had been my teacher, my mistress. From the moment I open my eyes, she’s in my blood, like cheap wine.

Bitter and sweet, tinged with regret. I’ll never be free of her, nor do I want to be.

Think you’ve binged all you can binge on Netflix? Wondering what’s next with the wait for more X-Files uncertain and the holiday season usually being a bit barren of fresh tv drama? Well, wait no more and step right up because Frank Spotnitz, executive producer of The X-Files and Man in the High Castle, and Nicholas Meyer, the man who wrote and directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan have an early Christmas present for you. Medici: Masters of Florence is set in 15th century Italy and follows the Medici family, wealthy bankers and political heavyweights of the time.

The Medici family is credited with helping to usher in the Renaissance with their support of the arts alongside their political capital at the Vatican. The show is shot on-location in Italy, providing gorgeous cinematography, and the story delivers a deep and human look at what might have brought along this revolution. The show stars Dustin Hoffman as patriarch Giovanni de Medici and Game of Thrones star Richard Madden as his son, Cosimo.

In short, grab some snacks, pick a comfy sofa, and don’t miss it.

Medici: Masters of Florence premiers today, December 9th, on Netflix in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and Ireland. Frank Spotnitz took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to answer some of our burning questions.

The ratings results in Italy for the first season of Medici were amazing, (congrats) it seems Italians really embraced this retelling of one of their most famous families history. How did you think audiences who are not as familiar with the Medici’s importance will embrace the show?

Well, I’m very curious to see. I think the success of the show doesn’t depend on whether you know the Medici, or even care about them (he laughs), I think our intention from the beginning was just to make a really compelling, gripping show - regardless of who the Medici were. That was the first thing we said, we said, “we can’t assume anybody cares about the Medici.” So why would you watch? So that’s why we took the approach of, you know, the historical “what-if”, What if Giovanni de’ Medici was murdered? And that leaves his two sons in charge of the bank, which is the starting off point for the show. So, I think it’s one of those shows, that hopefully can just be enjoyed on its own terms, and the history behind it is just an added layer.  

we will ever have.
