Predictably, I pre-ordered the queer(er) contemporary retelling of the Henriad. I love the prose; it's trenchant and funny and the fact that the author did an MA thesis on medieval English kingship (!) only helps.

people asking why Shakespeare is relevant. well, when someone drops the line "Thou art a villain" and the other person bites back with "You are a senator", I think it's pretty relevant

You know, everyone calls you 'nice.' But that's not the word. You're good. So good you have no idea how good you are.

If We Were Villains, M. L. Rio

So there was one time that we were in a homeschool group with around 30 kids of all different ages. Anyways, we were split into groups and my age group was so small that me and my friends ended up being put in the teens group of 13 or older when we were 11.

The thing is, that semester we were doing a Shakespeare course. The goal was to read and study one of his plays in depth(we decided on King Lear) and to read the rest of them on our own time. It wasn’t mandatory but you got prizes at the end for however many plays you read. Me being the pretentious child I was decided to read the entire other 37. And I did in the span of about 3 months. My teachers didn’t believe me at first when I went in and marked off six plays after only a week. They tested me on it, but I got all the questions right.

Okay, Shakespeeps, I really want to know if more of you are watching/have watched The Diplomat, because its protagonists are named Hal and Kate (!) and they are as follows:

Hal: stupidly brave, possibly a genius, a wife-guy, sometimes also a terrible person, so charming that you almost don't notice when he's being an asshole, far more principled than he initially appears to be, and (to reiterate) profoundly devoted to his wife.

Kate: extremely competent, extremely intelligent, extremely cute but resents having this pointed out, deeply attached to but also ambivalent about her weird and charismatic husband, also unsure about her new and important political job in England.

So, even while the plot of the show does not closely follow either the events of the late Hundred Years' War or Shakespeare's Henry V... you can see why I am intrigued by The Parallels.™ Also, they're hot.
