And you'd show me off to your friends at the pier
Tonight ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and I performed our civic duties by voting for the second time in this ward and precinct without having to provide Kafkaesque corroboration of identity. We had still brought a utilities bill out of gun-shyness.
My new measure of the lousiness of last summer is the fact that I just tonight discovered the music video for Chappell Roan's "Casual" (2023). I had heard the song and its incredible hook. No one had communicated to me that the video involves the singer's romance with a man-eating siren. I have strong folkloric feelings about the ending.
I heard the first season of Vigil (2021–) had lesbians and submarines and have thus just finished watching the first episode. So far the ratio is in favor of submarines, but the f/f is not nil. Still haven't watched Gentleman Jack (2019–22) despite envying Suranne Jones her waistcoats since before the last glaciation.
Elsenet, context self-supplied: "I will die on the hill of Vengeance on Varos. I will just not actually die on Varos. That would be awful."

So did you end up watching the rest of Vigil?
I had it recommended it to me as "you will like this, it has lesbians and submarines!" And I did like it as a decent thriller, though I had been hoping for a bit more on the f/f side of things. But to be fair to the series, I ended up sleeping through the last three episodes, so I may have missed all the good relationship development bits... (I posted about it in a non-spoilery way here).

(Haha, I just looked at the comments of that post and realised we already had a conversation about Vigil there! I had forgotten.)

I had also forgotten, so no worries!

We still haven't watched the finale, but the fourth and fifth episodes definitely contain more relationship detail in both flashback and present day, including a scene revolving around Kirsten, Poppy, and Poppy's grandmother in which the offstage person under discussion is Silva. Thriller-wise, I think it may have thrown in one more element than it needed, but I am still enjoying it sufficiently that I plan to finish it when I am not trying to use my head for anything else.

Hmm, maybe I judged the series a little prematurely...

It does have the classic third-act escalation problem, but I liked the line of the relationship a lot.
