I'm Have you watched The Crown at all?

Yeah, I saw one episode.

I watched, you know, my girlfriend has watched most of the crown, and I think

she is like a lot of people where it's almost like a problematic fave, where it's like, yes, the monarchy's

much what I expected. It's like, you know, very high production values, perfectly passable drama.

What's so hilarious to me about it is what the stakes are, like what the dramatic stakes are.

Like in the season we're watching, which is the first one, the episode arcs revolve around things like,

is girl boss, Queen Elizabeth, just become the Queen? You know, is she going to speak her mind to, you know, an ailing Winston Churchill,

or is she going to get steamrolled?

I see.

Yeah.

It's stuff like that.

Or which, like, retrograde aristocratic title are they going to officially adopt as the family name?

Like, it's like stuff like that.

I watched an episode from the second season where it was centered around Michael

Fagan, who was the intruder who broke into Buckingham Palace that time and apparently

spent 10 or 15 minutes with the queen.

And it was so funny because, like, in the show, the queen, as played by Olivia Coleman,

could not have been kinder to this man.

He breaks in, and of course she's, you know, startled and everything when he shows up,

but then he starts talking to her about, boy, you know, here in the palace, you don't know
