You'd like Rutherford's Princes of Ireland too I
Bet , Lara. Druids, etc and the Christian
Conversion were interesting.

The whole movie is available on YouTube...I just found it.

If I recall however, it is strong stuff. (not suitable for all viewers) So I won't put the link up.
It can be found at the end of the link I just put up with the movie video clip.

Off topic I'm sorry , but I remembered this post.

mrsD,
I just ordered Princes of Ireland a few days ago. I had trouble getting it from local libraries and I had a free shipping voucher for one of the book companies that I use here so I just bought it. Should arrive today or tomorrow. I hope the print is not too small. My paperback copy of Mists of Avalon was a tiny yet very thick book with very small print. I could manage that back then but I might need a magnifier if Princes print is too small. We'll see.

I don't recall Princes being difficult. I found it a fascinating read.
I read with my glasses off... being nearsighted. UpNorth I used a little flashlight too. Didn't have much trouble. The book itself is not so heavy, as his others.

It was a bit more cutting edge than his others. Be sure to read his introduction....it explains alot.

It took me forever this winter to reread Mists of Avalon! Gosh, I forgot most of it. Marion Zimmer Bradley is rather convoluted in style too.

Right now I am reading Poul Anderson's Time travel books. The Time Patrol. Hubby had a paperback two story (novellas) one that really appealed to me. So I ordered the whole shebang on Ebay yesterday...used. So now I have a better understanding about Visigoths and Ostrogoths!

Tongue Series finale:

What a disappointment this finale was! I have to say I am not going to miss this show at all.

I often turn it off 1/2 way thru when it is so boring. Some episodes do deliver, but they are not often presented.

Goodbye, Alicia. Won't be missing you at all!

Thumbs down Good Wife Series Finale a big dissappointment

OHH!
I hated it!
So much time was spent on the stupid trial.
It was hard to see Alicia / Lucca mess with Diane's marriage.

The writers ended the last show with a slap because the series started with a slap in the first episode.
WHAT?!?



There is going to be a spin-off starting in 2017 with Diane and Lucca:
The Good Wife to get spin-off series, CBS confirms - BBC News
Quote:
The show will pick up a year after the events in The Good Wife's finale, which has won five Emmy awards during its run.

I watched all of "The Good Wife" though Alicia was hard to take.

I saw it on DVDs of each season as they came along through the local library. Lately I've been watching "The Good Fight" which is a sort of sequel to it.

Diane is at the center of it, and I don't enjoy her very much either but there is a lot of focus on Maia and Lucca and others.
