Chistmas and geekyness
Howdy all!
First off hope those who celebrate had a good Yule, I know I did :-D. Merry Christmas to anyone who wants it. Sam and I are at home alone for it which will prob be made up of chilling out.
Main thing I wanted to say was about my Yule present from Sam. Merlin soundtrack. I didn't know they even had one. Have been sooo bouncey about it and wanted to let all the other Merlin fans on here know that it is out. *bounces* I also got the dvd from Lis as a thank you for hosting Yule, haven't seen the extras yet tho. May try and convince Sam that rewatching merlin eps is a good way to spend xmas day :-D
Ooooo can't wait for more Merlin merch. Ah I watched the last ep of Merlin. Wasn't in a good mood when I saw it so didn't react as much as I normally would but must say that I was a bit dissapointed with it. When we saw that Merlin was leaving the island I knew that it was Arthur dying which was some relief. And I did love crazy!Morgana, she is great. I really wasnt happy with the end though. They should not have been laughing and as much as I love Gaius he should have stayed dead. I started watching Merlin with it being a light series. As it progressed it got darker, they killed of Gwen's father which shocked me. I got really worried they had been taking tips from DK, worried and hopeful. But then they went and got a fluffy and argh. There should have been a cost. Merlin should have had to pay for saving Arthur, it was relativly a freebie and I hope it comes back to bite him. He also shouldn't have been able to kill Nimue. I don't care how powerful he has the possibility to become, he has not grown into his powers and Nimue is far older and powerful than he is. It annoyed me. I really hope that in season 2 Nimue comes back pissed as hell.
A good story should not pander to what we want, it should make us love the characters and then rip our hearts out, followed by putting our hearts back together to rip them out again. It should affect us. Provoke tears and laughter. That isn't to say that I do not love Merlin. It has been a bonnie little show and I am really looking forward to the next series. The good thing is that this series has affected me enough that I am, annoyed with the ending. I actually care about how this show goes.
On the geekyness subject the Farscape comics came out yesterday, a day early. I bought all 3 alternate covers and read a copy at work.
It was... well I am intrigued on how it can go. And I do want to read more. The mad Scaper in me is annoyed at some inaccuracies
Rygel did not have so many wives, he just didn't. I don't like that John and Aeryn have decided to basically rename the baby, that is just wrong, he is called D'argo and should always be. Chiana is not fucking Jothee, Jothee should not have stayed and she should not be screwing him. She should still be greiving, someone else I could understand later on, but not now and not Jothee ever. I really really don't like the way they are using Jothee as a D'argo substitute, he just isn't going to replace D'argo, if they wanted him there they shouldnt have bloody killed him.
And John says its too soon to call lil D D'argo but yet it fine for Chiana to sleep with his best friends son??? *growls*
I will say that I like how Aeryn is struggling with the baby and the set up is just Rygels luck. I am looking forward to reading the second volume and really hoping that they get back to the standard that I have come to expect from Farscape.
oh and on the topic of Farscape just found out Gigi is gonna be at a con next year (thank you Lisa). :-D, I love being a geek.
