[spoiler]AFAIK the show's creator already ruled out anything supernatural regarding the Yellow King and Carcosa references.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]He said there wasn't anything supernatural yet and he asked if there was any reason thus far to see anything supernatural. His statement was more equivocal than you are making it out to be.[/spoiler]

Don't remember the exact wording, that was my recollection. We'll see soon.

I give Spazllus credit, though;  if he came up with a screenplay, it would be filled with so many arcane references and devices, only the most literate Languishite could appreciate it.

But the pitch would fail because he'd have watered it down with so much armpit-of-Europe reactionary ethnicky bullshit, they'd never buy the treatment.

I watch an episode of My Little Pony today. It was pretty grim.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's a show about magic ponies for little girls, how grim could it be? :huh:

Being a showrunner for a drama on the Russian Revolution has been my dream since I was about 17. I had a notebook with ideas on it. Nabokov's father Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov was the protagonist and a minor nobility anarchist with Bolshevik connections was the antihero. Started with murder of Stolypin. It could be good.
