Space Doesn't Exist

But my friend is training to be an astronaut. Cece. 20. Mainly a Hill House blog with a few random posts thrown in. Creator of: @thohhconfessions

At the beginning I was really enjoying Bly Manor and then I got to around episode 5 and stopped watching. I know I shouldn’t but I keep on comparing it to Hill House. Overall, I enjoyed Hill House a lot more (yes, I can’t have much views on Bly Manor because I’ve only seen half of it but I think I watched Hill House in one go which is what I’m basing this opinion off of) There are certain aspects to Bly Manor I like a bit more than Hill House- all these strangers coming together, the deeper insight into sexuality and how it becomes much more of a focus (rather than just a passing characteristic as seen with Theo) but to me, Bly Manor lacks the complexity Hill House had. It lacks a unity within the episodes. MF did everything for Hill House from directing to editing and it shows how much that works, when it is just one person with one end goal doing it all, how much more uniformed the episodes are, how easily they link together. Bly Manor is written by a bunch of different writers (I know Hill House too didn’t have MF writing all the eps but he did direct them all) and a bunch of different directors for every episode. To me Bly Manor is not a seamless ten-hour long movie broken into 1 hour parts like Hill House was. Bly Manor was a TV show. A good TV show but not one that was an extended movie. I know I should look at Bly Manor as a separate piece of Media but I can’t. That association with Hill House will always be in my head, I will always be comparing the two and that is the thing that puts me off watching Bly Manor. Until that association is broken I just don’t think I’ll be able to watch and/or enjoy it to it’s full potentional.

Now regarding the different writers thing: Hill House, as I said, did have different writers but to me, it came across as just one mind. MF had a plan with Hill House and it was a plan his team of writers followed. Bly Manor...everyone had their own idea. It doesn’t make Bly Manor worse than Hill House for this, I’ll always encourage the idea of everyone getting a taste and say in a collaborative work, but having this one mind just ran so much more seamless to me.

At first I was annoyed at Shirley for refusing to listen to Theo or her husband’s side of the story, but then she listened and understood. Then I felt loads better because you never really get that in tv shows

[thohhconfessions]

I feel part of the reason why Nell’s character works as such a nice almost “perfect” person is because the narrative kind of needed her to be? She was an incredibly naive kid who grew up to have issues and at times expected a lot from Theo at the cost of her comfort. Her flaws aren’t as obvious as the other Crains, but I feel she was definitely the type of person who tried to be good and stay positive until she just couldn’t take it and had to go “home”.

[thohhconfessions]

I like Nell but she feels way too perfect. No flaws, didn’t want ANY toys from Santa, and her issues feel romanticized compared to Shirley’s or Steven’s. 

[thohhconfessions]

I relate to Shirley. She’s a realistic character who’s suffered at LEAST as much as her siblings, and doesn’t deserve the hate I’ve seen her get. I wish her trauma got as much attention as others’.

During the entire series, I only noticed the “background ghosts” once. It was when Theo was climbing into the basement and there was one behind the ladder. I was convinced it was the zombie/ghost from before that stacked Luke. The whole scene I was terrified for Theo! And then nothing happened.

Dunno if anyone outside the UK has noticed, but Britain in the last week has decided that tipping milkshakes over fascists is what we do now.

To the point that McDonalds were asked by the police to stop selling them, and it didn’t help at all.

Someone with a gourmet giant shake today just drenched Farage and he looks like a sad milky weasel. Blessed day.

“What, what, what, WHAT!?” the actress recalls thinking. “Because it comes out of f—king nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming.” […] “I cried,” Clarke says. “And I went for a walk. I walked out of the house and took my keys and phone and walked back with blisters on my feet. I didn’t come back for five hours. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this?’” […] “I genuinely did this, and it’s embarrassing and I’m going to admit it to you,” Clarke says. “I called my mom and—” Clarke shifts into a tearful voice to perform the conversation as she reenacts the call: “'I read the scripts and I don’t want to tell you what happens but can you just talk me off this ledge? It really messed me up.’ And then I asked my mom and brother really weird questions. They were like: ‘What are you asking us this for? What do you mean do I think Daenerys is a good person? Why are you asking us that question? Why do you care what people think of Daenerys? Are you okay?’ And I’m all: ‘I’m fine! … But is there anything Daenerys could do that would make you hate her?’” — Emilia Clarke, Entertainment Weekly
