Sunday surprise!
Sep. 13th, 2020 03:31 pmBecause Chinese drama scheduling is...a wild ride, after weeks of speculation and rumors about when the second and final season of The Lost Tomb Reboot was coming, yesterday Iqiyi finally made an announcement. Said announcement was, the new season starts in 8 hours!! Here's an hourly countdown! Also we're releasing the first 8 episodes all at once for VIP!
So yes we have more Tomb Show!! I've only watched the first ep, but I'm looking forward to what's to come.
Especially because the scene I've been dying to see, which I've been worried would get cut for time or whatever, instead was actually used as a poster promo -- so yeah, probably not cut, and also I am so pleased that I am not the only one who apparently fell in love with that shot...
In related news,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
naye has put together an in-depth episode guide for season 1, which includes time stamps, so if you want to just watch the good stuff and get summaries of the rest, there's now an easy way. (Which honestly I would recommend. This is one of the most uneven shows I've ever seen, in the gulf between the parts I absolutely adore and the parts I find almost unwatchably boring. But the good stuff is SO good I still want to recommend it to anyone who enjoys h/c and idiot friends on adventures, leavened occasionally with really tasty angst.)
Otherwise life is going on. The sky is less apocalyptically yellow today than it was yesterday. I haven't been writing much, but the sister and I have a new...not exactly a fandom...keeping us amused (along with a good chunk of the rest of the planet. I don't know why it's so relaxing to watch seven ridiculous Korean boys roadtripping around New Zealand and sharing beds and having unabashedly terrible car singalongs despite being one of the most famous music acts in the world, but it is? It's what I needed right now, somehow...)
