As a musician I believe you might appreciate this.

Holy fuck! New soap opera coming to afternoon tv?

Some Hot Cheeze in there!

Thanks for the video!

I like how the opening lighting and camera work looks like a Star Trek Daytime Soap Opera

Why does neat stuff like this only happen in foreign countries?
I mean, other than them all being arrested for disturbing the peace or street performing without a permit.


I'm assuming you mean why doesn't this happen in America? The reason is America doesn't have a public commitment to the arts like the European countries. Europeans think this music and this ensemble is an important part of their culture. I think too many Americans look at orchestras and opera companies like over-funded anachronisms.

This isn't to say that there aren't street performances in the US. Quite to the contrary, they're all over the place (weather permitting.) However, they're usually playing guitar and hand drums.

Opera ;-)
Also you can use Ghostery for Opera to block trackers much like the plug-in described in this video.

J.J. Abrams does a good job of finding interesting show ideas, putting together a decent cast, getting a budget for a good looking production... and then leaves the shows to writers who have no idea on where they are going to take it, so it ends up a confusing mess that never has a satisfying pay-off.


I was thinking the same thing. When the preview first started I was like 'oh this is a good idea!' But by the end I was thinking 'contrite, cliched, waste of an idea with some useless Hunger Games adaptations.'

I just have a feeling this is Walking Dead all over again. For fans of that show this is IMHO but they took a great comic and a good starting point and threw it out of the window in favor of horrid acting, massive plot-holes and soap opera style cliched writing.

And people wonder why I prefer british TV. Better writing, better acting, shows actually feature mature plot lines with depth and character. Shows like Walking Dead would have been fantastic if a UK producer had gotten a hold of it.

Did clearing cookies work for anyone else? Just wondering if it's universally working or if maybe I didn't find a permanent solution. So far I've only had one video not play, but it wouldn't play directly on youtube either.


Eeeeyup, clearing out the cookies did the trick for me, thank you muchly @Porksandwich!

Well as I said above I turned off HTML5 which seemed to work. Perhaps that reset my cookies on youtube.

Is it happening just on our site - or with the YouTube site as well?


Just on VS.

Just here in my case, and it's not every youtube embed. I couldn't find the commonality in the embeds that didn't work, though.
