So... that’s the opener done and dusted then, of what might be the last season. Aaannnd how did we all feel about it?  Me… I felt …it wasn’t at all bad as an episode of a BBC family swords and dragons show at teatime (and no later).  If you knew next to nothing about the past seasons, or the characters.

If you did know of course, if you are, in fact ( Read more... )

I get you.

I am personally never convinved by Angel's acting. She is just too exaggerating and always tortures her face to make expressions. I think she is a mediocre actress. But the producers are ridiculous about her dress. I am wondering is Gwen a Camelot Queen or is she a Camelot prostitute, she might as well dangle her boobs out, then they can move to Starz or HBO).

However, I'll add that for this episode I also had problems with the acting - which rarely happens.
Oh god yes! I never comment on Angel's acting, quite believing that no one could have done anything for a character that badly written. I did feel her movements and expressions were exaggerated, and strange in some places this time. Not mentioned elsewhere because of obvious reasons.

Hi Sweet. : )

Just glad I'm not the only who felt this way.

And Gwen. I won't say much, I've lost all hope to ever even tolerate her so my saying anything about her characterization is just beating a long dead horse. She's just an unapologetic Mary Sue and I am done with her. However, I'll add that for this episode I also had problems with the acting - which rarely happens. It was over the top and utterly unconvincing, plus I've had it up to here with Angel being required to breathe like she's just ran up some stairs when she's only sitting or standing up so her boobs can jounce around and 'entertain' the dads. And before anyone calls me a hypocrite, lol, I also think the 'shirtless knights' thing they had going on was ridiculous.

It cant be easy to play Wise! Intrigued! All-Knowing! Ruthless! Without Remorse! while also playing Compassionate! Seeing The Other Side! Not Grasping The Obvious After Decades Until Its Pointed Out! and also So Beautiful Bandits Turn Good etc etc!. Anyones acting chip would explode confronted with the Mary Sue thats Gwen. :-p
