HAY GUYS

I am STILL WORKING on the "Kaiseki" recap, in something of a panic because obviously episode 2 is on tonight, and I'm just to a point where it's like, it gets done when it gets done, even if the new episode laps me, and I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other because freaking out doesn't do any good. Also I am struggling to keep it short enough to fit inside the maximum LJ post length because I just really don't want "Savoureux"-style two-post recaps to become the new normal, but also-also I'm to a point where I kind of don't care because OH MY GOD PLEASE GET FINISHED SOON. There's just a ton of background material and parallels to previous episodes and references to the books, particularly after I found out that this whole season is intended to be an echo/inversion of Silence of the Lambs. So I'm saying, I'm here and I'm not dead or in a ditch somewhere and I'm working on it and I'm not flaking out on you, it's just TAKING FOREVER TO FINISH what with the Oscar posts taking up two days.

Whether I'm done or not, I'll be on @cleolindajones again tonight for livetweeting.

Is there anywhere on the net that'll be streaming the episodes live? I live in the UK so obviously I don't get NBC, but I also don't want to wait until tomorrow to see this episode. *wheezes*

You know, there are (I was surprised to discover this)? I keep seeing live streaming links on Tumblr--let me ask about those and get back to you.

I was wondering whether you were going to do the recap or not, I was worried you were sick again/not feeling well. Good things come to those who wait, take your time and don't kill yourself over it (otherwise we'll never get the recap and I'll be a sad panda).

Please don't stress about the reader side of things. You don't owe us a specific timeframe. Reading your recaps is a delight and a privilege, not an entitlement. I'd much rather you take some time to be happy with what you're writing and to look after yourself than to get everything immediately.

Hell, I haven't even fully processed last week's and I'm not recapping. This show gives us so much to chew on (pun fully intended).

Okay, this is way more articulate than my flailing down-thread. Excellent!

It's okay, no freak-outs! ♥ ... I can't watch the episode till Saturday anyway, haha, so a little wait on the recap is no big deal.

Don't worry about it overlapping (or indeed running long), it's more important that you finish it and that you are happy with it. I must say I'm really looking forward to reading your recaps again. I still read the ones for HS1 even though I've lost count of how many times I've watched the Blu-rays.

I live in Ireland and there are links on hannigram for livestreams.

No problem at all, it's done when it's done. It's nice to have reader discussions in the comments as well. :D

I, too, have been struggling with my deconstruction because I want to rewatch it. AARGH! We can't watch until Sunday nights here as we are buying it from amazon. Looking forward to your recap!

We love your posts, but do what is best for you and your sanity. :-) We'll be waiting. (not said creepily! or maybe it is! who can even tell!)

I can't even watch the new episode until tomorrow, so take your time! Lol. Don't stress yourself out over page length. It's okay to go deep with it when you're feeling it.

Seriously, tho, I'll enjoy having it to soak in whenever you do finish. Until then, I can continue bugging my brother to hurry up and finish watching season 1 so he can catch up with me.

No rush. I believe I may speak for many when I post that the timeframe is not relevant, as your posts are enjoyable regardless of when they are released compared to later episodes. I'm rewatching S2 E1 tonight to let that beautiful/haunting imagery wash over me again and keep me fresh for tonight.

I, too, may end up being one of those people who won't get to watch 2x02 until tomorrow, but in any case, don't sweat it--you do what you need to get it done, whenever you end up posting it. :) Fio has confirmed he'll be livetweeting tonight, so you'll be in good company.

Cleo, it's okay, we love you! Please don't stress.
