Quick fannishness
Oct. 8th, 2006 07:21 pmTrying to get some actual work done on the thesis today, so I'll keep this brief until later.
This week's fannish viewing:
Robin Hood, the new BBC version - kinda sucked. I was expecting more from this and was heartily disappointed. Bad production values, clunky acting, overall just disappointing and I nearly switched it off. I might tune in for the next part to see what they do with Little John and all that lot, but so far I'm not wowed by it like all the hype suggested I'd be.
BSG season premiere - MUCH more satisfying. Complex, interesting, and some damn fine acting going on. I could write an entire essay about this, but I should be writing other things just now. Suffice it to say I'm pleased and can't wait for the rest of the season.
In other fannish news, I have hooked Ruben, Finn, and Kate on Miracles. I showed them the pilot and they were gone, instantly. After I mentioned the weirdness with the shooting schedule, and how Fox aired the episodes totally out of order, they insisted on watching them as they were meant to be originally, so that's been an interesting was to rewatch the show. We've only got Saint Debbie and Paul is Dead left to watch, sadly, but I can't wait to see their reactions when we finish the run. Always nice to suck in new converts.
