Because we’re all excited about the fact that season 3 dropped today, I just thought I’d put out the link to our High Castle discord for anyone who isn’t a member and might be interested!

I just realised that John promoted to Oberst-gruppenführer means that my tagging system is fucked. Should I tag him oberst-gruppenführer for s3, obergruppenführer for sake of neatness, or add both ranks?  Will I even find a ready tag to use for the new rank since I don’t have an “ü” on my keyboard and can’t type it myself? 

I hate decisions

edit: Oh no and my blog description too! But...but... I don’t want to change it - obergruppenführer sounds better...

Reading reviews/comments for TMinHC and four things get on my nerves that appear even in some positive reviews: 

“it doesn’t have humour - it’s too dark” - or maybe you understand just spoon fed/disney humour? It has got quite a fair share of dark humour bits if you understand it. Also how can you not find Childan (and Ed) funny? 

- “it’s not SF, it’s alternative reality”, “only science fiction is reality jumping” - alternative history is SF, you muppets

- “what is direction of it?” - idk maybe watch it and see? One of the great things about the series is how unpredictable it is. And being unpredictable is pretty true to life. I for one am tired of stories that I know how will end at the beginning. 

- also complaining about “bad” language and then say they are not prudes/puritans. Implied worldwide holocaust and normalised euthanasia for genetic defects  - acceptable part of the series. Few normal “fuck” here and there in tense situations - eternal trauma. ????

All older people we had seen in GNR are working - I wonder if there is such thing as retirement in GNR? It seems to me that pensioners would be seen as “useless eaters” by Nazi standards. Thoughts?
