Snow Day: 5 Things I Did Last Wednesday

Wednesday brought an unexpected snow day in my neck of the woods, so here are five things I did with the sudden surprise of free time!

1. I worked on Sisters

I finished rewriting the ending—this alternate universe story now has an alternate ending!

I’m still looking for a Beta Reader if anyone’s interested! Look at the goodies that are in store for you in this post: Call for Beta Readers

2.  I took in the waistline of a skirt I ordered online

Heaven forbid women’s’ sizing be consistent even within the same brand! The skirt is beautiful, and I’ll still buy from them, but I’m just a little disappointed that the comfort I had in buying the same size all the time is gone.

What is women’s’ sizing? We just don’t know.

3. I kept checking Twitter in hopes that there was a little announcement from the official HighCastleTV account regarding Season 3…

Hey, I had to include this because it’s true! I kept checking!

4. I started a painting

The mood fit, and I had nothing else to do, so I worked on a snow scene as it fell from the sky and blanketed the yard. It’s not finished yet. Who knows, there is a strong possibility of another snow day on Monday 😉

5. I caught up on Social Media: browsing, liking, following, commenting, and messages. 

A snow day was the perfect time to do some catch up!

What did you do on your last unexpected day off?

High Castle at NYCC!

The Man in the High Castle cast members were at NYCC to discuss Season 3. Oh, and the best part? An exclusive early look!

A huge thanks to @nerdophiles for live tweeting the panel!

The official sneak peak!

Talk about a thriller! Here are my thoughts & theories, some T&T:

Smith’s Revealing Facial Expressions

Season 2 left us with Smith preventing a nuclear war and getting access to Hitler’s vault of films.

In the clip above, he is clearly troubled before the doctor even begins his spiel about the traveler on the table.

My initial guess is that Smith watched some of the films, saw a different version of himself or something equally disturbing, and was suddenly called to the lab. The doctor only confirmed what looked like a world-shattering suspicion for him. Look at the way he moves and rubs the back of his head. Smith, who is always in control and always has a plan within a plan, is distressed.

Another factor that most certainly has a play in Smith’s temperament is Thomas’s fateful decision at the end of Season 2. I can’t imagine what he thought when he returned home and discovered his son had decided to be euthanized. It had to be life shattering.

 And then to have your entire reality as you know it broken like that with clear evidence that, yes, the films are real and that there are different versions of you running around in alternate worlds…

When the doctor says they are working on mechanical ways to travel between worlds, the camera zooms in on Smith’s face. I get the distinct feeling he is thinking about Thomas and making mental plans to steal a Thomas from another world as soon as they figure out how.

The Multiverse

The doctor calls the other worlds “the multiverse” and reveals that they’ve been trying to find a way to cross into other worlds. I have no theories on how the writers will incorporate “the multiverse” into the story now, but since they’ve done such an awesome job at keeping this show unique, I am confident that it will be good and not your run of the mill sci-fi cliché.

Season 3 to be released in 2018

Nooooo! All I can hope is that it’s not released when I have to travel (my work’s travel season starts in 2018). I will not have time to watch it when I’m away. I am hoping they release it between trips or after travel season. *crosses fingers*

Avoiding spoilers when you are not a binge watcher is rough as it is, but add I-literally-cannot-watch-it to the 10 days (1 ep a night) it will take me to watch the show? *cries*

Whenever they release it, here’s to looking forward to what Season 3 has in store for us!
