[FairfieldLife] A Coded Message - What the Recent Moderation Is Really About
This is a fun rap to write in a way, because the audience that understands it will be almost by definition be limited to a small, self-selecting number of people on this forum. The others won't really get it, and I think we all know they won't do the homework necessary for them to *ever* get it, because they won't watch the TV show. Basically, this is the rap: My suggestion for the best example I've found in fiction to represent what the mindset driving this recent push for moderation on Fairfield Life really is, what the emotions and motivations are that drive it, and what it hopes to accomplish, are the moments between 40:40 and 52:50 in the season finale of Game Of Thrones titled Mother's Mercy. In that segment, a representative of the fanatical religious cult who calls himself the High Sparrow gets to force someone he hates to undergo his idea of atonement, walking naked through a crowd of people who jeer at the High Sparrow's victim and throw shit and and garbage at them, while his female sycophant walks along behind the victim, ringing a bell and chanting Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! And all of this is viewed as not only necessary but the vindication of spirituality and religion -- what is needed to set things right and return society to its proper balance. For those who have been watching Game Of Thrones, I allow you to choose who on FFL plays the role of the High Sparrow, and who plays the part of the Crazed Nun chanting Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! with a look of ecstasy on her face, as if finally being able to do this *and* get praised for it is the highest moment in her life.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A Coded Message - What the Recent Moderation Is Really About
Someone here on FFL often in the past when I might discuss a TV show or movie respond as not my cuppa tea. When the first season of Game of Thrones appeared on HBO I had that premium service and watched the first episode. Not being of the dungeons and dragons mindset that was so popular back in the day it did not appeal to me. Neither do most medieval or fantasy stories though the fascinate many. I don't know what it is either than possible bad experience from a past life in that era whether genetic memory or an incarnation. You also can't fault people here for not watching the show as they may share my disinterest and/or like me not have HBO at their disposal. Unless you're an Apple freak or still paying extortion fees to a corporate telecom it was unlikely you could get GOT legally anyway. There is no more narcissistic and elitist media company than Time-Warner. You must beg, serf, to see their precious jewels. The only show on HBO I have much interest it is seeing what they do or destroy what was already a near perfect UK sci-fi series Utopia. We're waiting and probably to wait until 2016 to find out. David Fincher has said he is dedicating 2015 to developing his version of it. This coming month HBO Now will be available to more folks who prefer seeing things streaming. But it is still not a wide roll-out. And really, $15 a month is a bit stiff. You are a real fanboy of GOT, we get that. Just like Lawson is a fanboy of Bablylon 5. Not saying anything wrong of being a fanboy but the lesson you found in the GOT finale is also, as you should know being that literature is your field, found in other stories and TV shows as well. FFL is a divine comedy that Dante would be envious of. One could probably write several seasons of a TV series based on the the characters and events here. :-D Or at least it might make a half decent soap opera. After all it already is one.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A Coded Message - What the Recent Moderation Is Really About
Whatever. Here's a short version of the atonement from GOT (with commentary
from GRRM) for those who have not found a way to watch what is essentially the
most influential television series on the planet.
SPOILER warning in effect -- if you ever plan to watch GOT, you might wanna
skip this.

Re: [FairfieldLife] A Coded Message - What the Recent Moderation Is Really About
Earlier this year, Game of Thrones location photos revealed that creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss would cull from George R.R. Martin's fifth novel, A Dance with Dragons, to bring on the bare-naked punishment. The plan caused a stir—before the Thrones production team could roll cameras on Lena Headey's naked stroll, the Catholic Church of St Nicholas in Dubrovnik, Croatia, the show's King's Landing stand-in, nixed the idea. The idea of walking sacred ground in the nude was immoral.Eventually, the city decided to allow the showrunners to shoot their racy scene, so long as Headey was not filmed nude inside a place of worship. from this article: The Racy 'Game of Thrones' Scene That Croatia Tried to Ban Finally Happened | | | | | | | | | | | The Racy 'Game of Thrones' Scene That Croatia Tried to B...One of the most stunning moments in the show's history. | | | | View on www.esquire.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | From: TurquoiseBee turquoi...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 12:56 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] A Coded Message - What the Recent Moderation Is Really About Whatever.
