By now you must know that, as far as History goes, I'm a hands down medievalist. Lets face it, everything since the French Revolution doesn't interest me that much. The thing is, I am also a woman, and a Portuguese woman who has a very unhealthy interest in History of the British monarchy at that. Recently I've been reading quite a few things about the very controversial Portuguese queen, Maria II, and her relationship with Victoria is an inevitable topic. And here I am, watching a show about a queen in which life I've never been quite interested in.

Oh, the Olympic Games!... That poetic competition which gives us the opportunity to watch all kinds of sports we don't really care about. You probably don't know this, but I have a problem with the Olympics. It's just... I'm obsessed. Like, pathologically obsessed with the games. If I don't watch myself, I am perfectly capable of being at home for almost an entire month looking at the TV watching pretty much every single sport there is. Ok, the really looong events, such as the marathon are not that interesting, but the rest of it? Yeah... From shooting to gymnastics, judo, and even diving. ANYTHING goes.

I'm officially in mourning. My most beloved Galavant wasn't renewed for a third season, and ABC is stupid, and everything is terrible (and Agent Carter... Oh, Agent Carter... *cries rivers of sorrow*).

The good news is, however, that my Galavant disappeared proudly of our TV (or, in my case, computer) screens and it didn't stretch for season after season after season with no end in sight and a clear decay in quality (and yes, Supernatural, I'm looking at you. YES, Vampire Diaries, you as well!). It went galavantly (I know this isn't a word, ok?) and, for that, I am not only happy, but also profoundly grateful.
