let's talk about the ending of sgu

i know it's rough because it was cancelled. it wasn't supposed to end that way. there was supposed to be more. but all the same, i still really love the ending and have been wanting to share my thoughts why. (recent rewatch with my newest convert @beantrees inspired most of this)

sgu is absolutely meant to be a show about imperfect people. i find it absolutely fitting that they get an imperfect ending. they don't get resolution, or closure, or everything tied up in a neat bow, because they shouldn't. doing so would take away a lot of what i love about the show, which is the grit and the humanity of flawed people making bad decisions in a broken ship. their flaws would be disregarded and discredited by a perfect, happy ending.

and, also, i know this is the cop-out answer, but you truly can make your own ending. because regardless of how much the show told you about the characters and where they ended up, you would always wonder about what happened next. did chloe and eli get married? how did rush die? hell, what did young eat for breakfast the day after the finale? this ending leaves a bit more to wonder, but you would've wondered and dreamt up something anyways.

anyways :) in retrospect, seven years after seeing the finale for the first time, i've decided like the ending. i'm happy with it. i think it's fitting.

Hi! I'm very new to the DMBJ fandom and completely lost about what to watch or read first. I've watched about 9 episodes of Reunion, fell in love with the characters and started reading fic. I've read the first novel and watched a couple episodes of LT1. But I see complaints about some of the shows and don't know whether to keep watching chronologically or skip around for the best Iron Triangle content. And should I plan to read all the books? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!

Hi， and welcome!

DMBJ can seem a bit daunting and confusing at first just because there's so much of it, it jumps all over the place, and all the canons are muddled together.

On the other hand, part of what makes DMBJ so delightful is that there's so much of it, it jumps all over the place, and all the canons are muddled toghether.

It basically means that you really can just jump in wherever, and watch/read in whatever you like, and you will get the important stuff (and find your favourite details). And then when you go back and reread/rewatch stuff after you've read/watched more, you will pick up on a whole heap of new things you hadn't before.

I would absolutely recommend reading all the books (and unless you can read Chinese, I am so sorry that the terrible official English translations are all we've got for the first half of the main series, but it is worth it to get the story, and once you get to the fan translations those are MUCH better, I promise).

Whether you want to read them before watching the shows, after watching the shows, or in between watching them is up to you. You will get a lot of details in the books that you won't in the shows - and there are also some fantastic books and extras that haven't yet been adapted into show format (Zang Hai Hua and Southern Archives immediately jump to mind). You can definitely jump around with reading the books, too - I read Sha Hai and Zang Hai Hua before I finished reading the main series, and didn't have any problems keeping up with what was going on (although it helped that I knew how the main series ended before I read them).

Like with all TV adaptations of books, the dramas have made quite a few plot changes, so it's definitely worth both reading the books and watching the shows.

The dramas, ah... The dramas are definitely not all created equal. Some of them are significantly better than others, but they're all a lot of fun to watch. (I'm told that even 2.5 has some redeeming features, although that one I have yet to watch for myself due to a lack of time and some of the less than great things I've heard about it). Everyone has their favourite drama, and opinions on most of them vary wildly from person to person in the fandom - what can be one person's favourite one is one that someone else absolutely hates. So, yes, you'll hear complaints about all of the shows, to be honest, because every show has some part of the fandom that dislikes it. Some of these complaints are objectively valid (the longer shows absolutely suffer from some annoying and boring filler in order to pad out the runtime, for instance, and DMBJ as a whole has a problem with fridging female characters), while a lot of them are pretty subjective and come down to the person's personal likes and dislikes.

I like all the shows that I've seen, although I definitely have my favourites, and all of them have both their good points and their bad points. Even with my favourite (Reunion) there were parts of it that I just straight up don't like and will fast forward through on rewatches (and yet I know people who love those self-same parts, but who will fast-forward through parts that I really liked). Which is really just a long-winded way of saying that you're not going to know which of the shows you like better than others (and which parts of those shows you do or don't like) without watching them for yourself.

As for what order to watch the shows in, that entirely comes down to personal preference: do you WANT to watch them chronologically, or do you want to watch the best Iron Triangle stuff first and come back to check out the other shows later? Both of these are completely valid choices and neither is more confusing than the other. You can always change your mind if you start watching one way and decide that that isn't working for you, and switch to the other way.

If you want to go for best Iron Triangle content first, I would suggest either finishing off Reunion, then going back to watch Ultimate Note and Tomb of the Sea (there's a lot less Iron Triangle and pingxie content in it compared to the others, but what's there is really amazing), and then watching TLT1, TLT2, and the donghua, or watching Ultimate Note, then finishing off Reunion, then Tomb of the Sea, TLT1, TLT2, and the donghua. Then 2.5 to finish off the main story shows.

If you want to watch chronologically, it's TLT1, TLT2, TLT2.5, donghua (although the donghua could go before 2.5 or even before 2, since it covers one of the books that 2 covers), Ultimate Note, Tomb of the Sea, Reunion.

As I said above, though, if you want to skip around, there isn't a problem with doing that. If you get partway through one of them and really don't want to keep watching it, you can skip on to the next show without a problem, you'll easily pick up all the important stuff anyway (especially once you start Ultimate Note, which has a 'previously on' type recap at the start of the first episode to quickly bring you up to speed on the major plot points that take place before it).

The Mystic Nine (the Republican-era prequel) you can really watch whenever/wherever you want, since about the only impact it has on the other shows is that it's the show that introduces Zhang Rishan (who later appears in Sha Hai and Ultimate Note), and there's a few references to it here and there in later shows.

Time Raiders, the 2016 movie, is completely standalone to everything. It's best described as a steampunk-ish AU of DMBJ. It's absolutely hilarious and I love it, but it really has nothing to do with the main canon.

There's also several spin-off movies and short series for Tomb of the Sea and Reunion, but I'd really advise that you watch the shows first. The spin-offs have nothing to do with the main plot, and the characters in them really won't mean anything to you without having watched the shows, since they feature side characters from those shows.

Have you found any of the DMBJ Discords yet? There's a few of us around. If you haven't and would like to join, let me know and I'll shoot you some invite links!

Hope some of this helps, and enjoy watching/reading/falling into these pits with us!

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 25 May 2022

In my local supermarket car park over a stack of shopping trolleys a Laburnum anagyroides (bean tree, bean trefoil, golden chain) was flowering to delight shoppers who happened to notice the splash of yellow. This small, deciduous tree has flexible branches that can be trained over a pergola, arch or walkway, which will then show off the pendulous pea-like flower clusters. Please note all parts of the tree are poisonous.

i giggled while writing this and i hope you giggle while reading it too. it's from a hefty long-haul fic i've been planning for like two months and just started writing. unfortunately i am not a writer who can publish in chapters (that being said, i've never tried) so i imagine this will not reach The Masses for a while.

Plant of the Day Saturday 4 February 2017

The wonderful winter form of the striking deciduous tree Catalpa × erubescens ‘Purpurea’ (purple hybrid Indian bean tree). This medium-sized tree comes to life in spring with new leaves opening as blackish-purple and later turning dark green. Large flowers of white with orange and purple markings are produced as open panicles followed by long seed pods. It grows best in a moist but well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny position. The large leaves need shelter from strong winds as these may shred them and in addition late spring frosts can be problematic to young foliage.
