#hornblower — Public Fediverse posts

Manchmal führt es bei mir zu neuen Erkenntnissen, alte #Fernsehserien wieder zu sehen. Nachdem ich #Hornblower von 1999 wieder ansah, merkte ich, wie schlecht #BlackSails von 2017 eigentlich ist.

Als ich Black Sails das erste Mal sah, hatte ich einfach Spaß an einem unterhaltsamen Abenteuerstoff, wobei mir damals schon aufstieß, wie schlecht "Seemannsgarn" a la "Pirates of the Caribbean" mit realhistorischen Geschehen und realen Charakteren zusammenpasst.

#AubreyMaturin is superior to #Hornblower in the same way as #StarTrek is superior to #StarWars.

I'm late posting an introduction, so here goes.
I am a lawyer in my hometown of #MarshallTexas - married w/3 boys #autism . My wife and I enjoy traveling, and especially #Cruising .

Education - BA at #TAMUC (was ETSU) & law school at #BaylorLaw. Have a masters degrees in public affairs from the #LBJSchool at #UTAustin, and in World War II Studies from Arizona State University #ASU and the National World War II Museum #WWIIMuseum #WWIIStudiesMA . Currently working on an executive LL.M. in litigation management at Baylor Law School #BaylorLawLLM .

I practice mainly in U.S. federal courts litigating and trying to juries intellectual property cases, and blog at EDTexweblog.com #EDTexweblog #MCSLaw . Devoted follower of #AppellateTwitter . #LawTwitter #patentlitigation #EDTX #WDTX .

I enjoy #reading , including #WorldWarII #UrbanFantasy #ScienceFiction #LOTR #StarTrek #Hornblower #Archaeology as well as #ArchaeologicalPorn (which in this context refers to Dan Brown/Steve Berry type books - not the paintings in Pompeiian brothels). Also enjoy #LandscapeArchitecture and our beloved #DallasCowboys but my principal hobby is #ScaleModeling with an emphasis on #ShipModeling usually WW II or #NavalHistory subjects. Have written two books on aircraft carriers and have a particular interest in #EssexClassCarriers .

I post on all of this on my personal weblog Puttering in the Study at www.mcsmith.blogs.com #PutteringInTheStudy .
