Surprised...

liralenI was very surprised to find Judge Dee taking justice pretty much into his own hands, once he was convinced of the guilt of a guy he would never, for political reasons, be able to get in court. Wow. Not even a shred of the Western "you have to trust the system and use it even if you know it's not going to work" kind of thing one sees in all the police dramas.
He just tricks the bad guy into a room with an angry bear and says, "It's in a higher court than mine. I'll let Heaven judge you."
This is in The Haunted Monastery, and wow... I really enjoyed it. There's something very different about the stories, and a lot of it is the whole set of assumptions, from his three wives to his constables and the whole basis and crux of his authority. It's pretty intriguing.
I also got to watch two of the three Mushi Shi disks that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amberley sent, and they're utterly gorgeous, lush, intriguing, and while all the bit players look nearly identical, each of the stories, themselves, are wonderful and so different and haunting in many ways. I'm looking forward to the last one quite happily.
I've also gotten to watch a few more episodes of Bleach and now understand why they want to go to Soul Society. *grin* It's going to be interesting.

I don't think I'm well endowed enough, in front, to play most of the women in the darned series. *laughter* Especially the
bombfireworks expert... but I do love her style. Whew...no subject

But I suspect that with that arsenal of strange stuff that he's actually from twelfth... of course this is just guessing from before knowing. I wanted to try that. *laughter*
