"The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up."
- Patrick Rothfuss
“Don't make another's pain the source of your own happiness.”
no you guys don’t understand how insane the skam experience was. if you weren’t in norway, you were literally waiting for one of the many norwegian angels to take the clips that dropped in real time on the skam site on a daily basis, and translate and upload them to a google drive so everyone else could watch them. i literally watched that show via google drive and it was all thanks to the regular fans who took the time to translate the clips so others could enjoy the show. a whole community was built via google drive. and then a whole universe was built with about eight different remakes of the show coming out of one little show that started in norway and was only meant to stay in norway.
NRK is celebration a decade of Skam (😭) with a nine episode podcast. You can listen here
I’m collaborating with @kosegruppie who will be posting my translations and make subtitled videos with them. Make sure to follow them here on insta for all the latest!
Below the cut you’ll find the transcript of the first episode (I’ve skipped a few summaries, the radio hosts watching the show etc, but all cast and crew interviews are there!). Enjoy!
So Ncuti Gatwa only got to have about 18 episodes of the show; didn’t get to have a Dalek, Cybermen, or Master story, the big mainstays of the franchise; had to share his introduction with David Tennant, and now (despite how much I loved seeing her again) his exit too with Jodie Whittaker; and is now sandwiched between Tennant and Billie Piper.
