Safe Reality

I am reeling from watching the series Homeland. One word: Crap, crap, crap. I can't believe this won awards for best drama and acting?! This isn't going to be a review, I'll have to save my spurn for when I calm down.

One way to do that is to actually take a good dose of reality. I need to be reassured reality is not the way it's been portrayed in this lazy ass excuse of 'best drama'. I don't mind ridiculous plots or people, just as long as it's believable.

After watching 4 episodes I couldn't stand it any longer. I went straight to NY Times war blog. Articles about the military, the wars and many written by veterans. Many people escape to fantasy worlds, into lives and places beyond them, into the crap on tv. I feel safe in reality, an assurance that people aren't flat 2D stereotypes, that there is more to life than getting laid, thinking about getting laid, and who's available to get laid - that's how crude Homeland is.

I do have more, but I think it's enough for now.
