It’s a Very Ferry Christmas ... Or something.

I figured I’d use my time on the drive/Ferry to Ireland wisely by writing a little. Even if I can’t actually post anything until I get somewhere with WiFi that doesn’t mean that I can’t get myself ready.

I need think carefully about my goals for this week. With being on vacation and in a hotel in a forgein country, I don’t want to overextend myself goal wise. However, I don’t want to fall too far behind on my word count goals or my story a month challenge. And it’s not like I won’t want to write about my adventures in Ireland.

I was trying to do a bit of typing while I watched Legends in the background, but there was another episode I hadn’t seen. At least one that I don’t remember seeing and I think I would’ve remembered it—at least vaguely. It was their Christmas episode and they had to save George Washington and America. Rory ended up being an inspiration to Washington which was fun. It was the first time Amaya and Nate hooked up. I remembered mentions of the chore wheel from Ray and I feel like we see Mick’s “pet rat” in later episodes, but I don’t remember the scene where Ray gives it to him. I don’t remember the first episode where Rip is shown being brainwashed to do evil shit by the Legion of Doom.

Not that it matters, except that because I hadn’t seen it before, I didn’t feel like I could concentrate on writing. Also, if I’m writing, the “Doc” app is sitting on top of the Vudu app on the side so I’m missing about a quarter to two thirds of the video, screen wise. Some apps work as split screen and I can have one app on one side and one app on the other, but some stuff it seems doesn’t work that way. I don’t mind missing that much of the screen when I’ve already seen the episode, but since it wasn’t one I remembered seeing I felt like I needed to see the whole screen. There’s so much about the season that’s making more sense in the rewatch and I keep realizing that I missed more of it than I thought I did. I know I’ve seen every episode of season three, but I’m glad I’m going back and looking at everything again with the whole picture rather than just most of it.

I love Nate and Amaya’s love story. It’s not usual for me to love a love story that’s bound to be tragic, but there’s just something lovely about it. And I wonder about the person she has her family with eventually. I don’t know. I know Amaya has gone back to her village, but I hope that she will still make appearances.

I know John Constantine won’t immediately be joining, joining the team, but I’m just chomping at the bit to have him as a regular. I do hope that they add another person of color to the main cast. I know they still have Zari, but Jax is gone and Amaya isn’t likely to be a regular. It just seems important that they keep a diverse cast. It worked really well for them the last two seasons and I would hate for them to lose that. Granted, they’ve been pretty good about keeping the show diverse in race, ethnicity, religion, etcetera so I don’t know why I’d doubt they will keep that up.
