    Our lone warrior Cecilie- what do you think?

    I’m really sad to hear that all my hopes of the absurdity used in an intelligent way are built on sand. I love absurdity and overturning … I would love for this scraps of carnival and rebellion to actually make a whole.
    But at least, in the meantime, Nam-sin is not just a joke anymore.

    Thank you for such a wonderful article.
    I really get engrossed in your writing.
    I got the same sense of reassurance and of being heard as I did while reading your article on Someday Or One Day.

    Well, for Nam-soon at least our half-baked theories and views are endorsed by your much more authoritative voice. That makes me happy.
    When @CecilieDK was worried about the “police violence” in the initial episodes I had asked her to just seek it like a “comic”.
    I do get a feeling that the writer imagines herself to be a lot more funnier in her head but is unable to translate that on paper.

    While I was on the fence regarding the how the spin-off got greenlit in the first place, I wanted to give it a chance. The initial episodes reassured me but then the sudden nosedive left me cold (freezing?) and despite Cecilie’s hard work in preparing weekly gifs to entice Beanies I could not feel it “Melting Me Softly“. I have of course promised Cecilie that I would give Nam-soon a try. Thanks to your article I feel it would now be a better watch.

    Ah. I had had these thoughts without knowing the writer–I see that there was actual evidence that I could have brought to bear 😉

    This was so insightful! Thank you for sharing it. Wish I’d had this perspective before I started watching SGNS.
