The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Farscape and Buffy. And quote of the day

I keep thinking about The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

Well, I guess we had to disagree on farscape at some point -- i loved dream a little dream and coup de clam both. ;) I think DaLD could have been a bit stronger if we'd seen it in context of the time frame without knowing it was a flashback perhaps, but I still loved it. It's one of the few later Zhaan episodes that I actually liked. And it was the first episode where I actually liked chiana. And rygel got such a big part ;)

I confess CbC is my least favorite FS ep ever (yes, even more so than Jeremiah Crichton). I usually like the gross-out humor they do, but for some reason it really fell flat and the interactions felt off in that point of the story. But hey, it as Crichton in drag so it can't be all bad :P

I don't like CBC either--everything is just weird. Ok, I do like the way it's filmed, that's kinda cool. I agree, the interactions seem off and weird and inconsistent.

I'm not as averse to DALD, even though my favorites are Aeryn, John and Pilot. Just seeing Chiana so loopy is almost worth it, and the hallucinations rock.

but not among my top episodes, that is true.

[dangermousie]

I am so glad I am not the only one not keen on CBC. It just felt off in the very grim stuff going before and after.

DALD isn't a huge fave, but CBC is the only ep I actively dislike (yes, even JC gets a pass).

But after DALD is OOM which I just finished and I love that one to bits.

You know, gay!Willow would have been ok if herlove interests had been likable AND interesting. Tara was likable, but dull(really just a watered down willow) and Kennedy was interesting, but annoying.

The thing about S6-7 Buffy(and Buffy/Spike) is that there were a LOT of good ideas in it, but the execution got lost, went too far, etc.

In retrospect, all I liked in S7 was Faith's storyline, really. *there's a reason I only own the first 5 seasons...S5 had one of the best series endings ever...not season, series...Spike, who had no soul, learned to love and be selfless, even if it was limited, Buffy learned and shared the true meaning of absolute and selfless love, all her friends were safe and happy, etc)

*wants to see Farscape and the movie relativeively unspoiled one day so only skimmedthose parts*

[dangermousie]

I do think S3 or S5 would have been the perfect places to end. Oh well...

[meganbmoore]

S3 and S5 both were perfect places to end, though I prefer S5 as EVERYTHING dangling was resolved there, while S3 had faith's fate, did Angel really leave, etc. dangling...not HUGE danglers, just little bitty ones.

[dangermousie]

Agreed. Oh well, TPTB didn't listen to us :)

God, Devdas is so goooooood! :) (Thanks for reminded me. :D)

[dangermousie]

Yes. it is. Makes me bawl though.

[mimesh]

That bit of dialog from Devdas is awesome. I should watch the movie again. But it's kind of weird to see a Bollywood fanvid using an English love song.

I'm not very up to date on Bollywood gossip these days but I heard about the kiss controversy surrounding Hritik and Aish. I read there was a law suit or something? And was it really the Bachchans who initiated that the kiss was cut? Wow, it's almost a little scary how influential they are. I still can't believe that Abhishek and Aish are married now...

[dangermousie]

Yeah, it was weird to hear an English song. It was the only fanvid I could found.

Yeah, there was a lawsuit for indecency. *rolls eyes*

Re: kiss cut. Yes. How weird.

[dangermousie]

Oh, I agree with every word. First three seasons are IMO by far the best...
