Oh The Saga...

True to my word, I started watching my favorite Patrick Swayze movie, sort of, North and South.

Technically it's a mini-series, but let's not split hairs.

But, the saga! The drama! Genie Francis! Pretty people! All that FARB!!!

I forgot, however, that in the very first episode Priam gets whipped, so Daughter got a bit upset when she saw that. Maybe if I'd watched my copy of To Wong Foo instead?

If you want my recommendation, though, do yourself a favor and just read the trilogy by John Jakes. I still cry when I read it, and who ever adapted the books for TV made a mess out of them.

Books, people, are always the better way to go.
