a) of course Starz picked up up Mary and George, as the channel that is basically "historical shows for women who want to see nudity onscreen" (said with respect)

b) of course Starz is doing that Outlander prequel about the dead parents we know die horribly like the one who has a heart attack or some shit after the trauma of seeing his son basically flayed alive instead of adapting, I don't know, a historical romance series in which it's literally period piece content for women who want to see nudity, which doesn't actually have any rape

#romance novel blogging #like to be fair a lot of the great historical romance series just can't be made today without significant changes #like sorry wallflowers adaptation fantasy girlies i was among your numbers once #but you literally can't do that without bastardizing st. vincent in today's climate #and if you're bastardizing st. vincent #wyd why bother #(ironically think dreaming of you could for sure be done today. i mean derek craven does strangle a lady but #a) she was TRULY EVIL and b) you can always tone that down without changing the scene)#you could maybe do the hathaways if you updated some shit with cam and kev #which wouldn't be hard and lisa should probs do that instead of hacking away at dubcon #but anyway. fifth avenue rebels is where it's at #you get the girl gang you get the gilded age excess you get nellie young distributing condoms while the duke of lockwood is all #'i'll get you out of jail my love i'll just call my PERSONAL FRIEND teddy roosevelt' only to get left on read by teddy roosevelt #because he is a JOKE.#('doesn't being a duke mean ANYTHING' he asks and the resounding answer is 'no?')#MADE for the big screen and they could probs get it at a p low cost bc it's successful but not kleypas successful #which is good bc tho it survives like a cockroach i feel like starz makes approx no money #anyway look at me. zaslav whomst. i should run this shit.
