1. Andrew Scott’s Lord Merlin was my favorite part of that show!

2. I think that there is something about our generation that makes hope embarrassing/uncool. I feel like both the generation before ours (the anti war/Civil Rights/Women’s Rights activists) and after ours (the Parkland students/Greta Thunberg/Malala Yousafzai) had/have access to hope in a much freer way. Perhaps that is why they can get more done and why Gen X is STILL stuck in its disaffected slacker idiom when most of Gen X is in its 50s and has turned into helicopter parents while wishing for the days of riding around on bikes all day in the summer utterly unsupervised.
