    Just finished season 2 of The Last Kingdom on Netflix ... highly recommend it (much better than that Game of Thrones tripe).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!

    I finally finished watching all of the first two seasons of The Last Kingdom on Netflix. I'm seriously hooked on this show and am anxiously awaiting Season 3 which is supposed to come out this fall.

    If you like the concept of medieval, or Renaissance, times, but Game of Thrones seems too over the top for you (as it is with me), I think you'll really enjoy The Last Kingdom.

    Since Bernard Cornwell wrote the books this was based on, I watched a few episodes. Not surprisingly, the television series was disappointing compared to the books, IMO. His stories are very formulaic but his history is well researched. Richard Sharpe is one of the best known characters in the historical fiction genre.

    Uhtred should be a big bastard and the actor they cast in the television series looks more like stand in for Orlando Bloom as Legolas.

    I couldn't get through the second book in George RR (I wish I was JRR Tolkien) Martin's GoT series. I am happy to say I have never seen any of the television version of GoT.

    I finished the first season of the Lost in Space reboot and watched the first episode of Altered Carbon. The best thing I've seen on television lately has been Black Mirror.
