Hm. I've got the feeling that the promo pics are the best we'll get out of this. Not sure what to expect, but so far I haven't managed to get into the first Quirke episode, and I can't say the trailers of episode 3 make me enthusiastic.
I must admit to feeling the same. I am most definitely looking forward to Colin being all snarky and nasty and BAMF, however. *drools a little at the thought*
I have to agree about the first episode, RC. I've had a really difficult time getting into it,although I guess there are two huge plot twists later on, so I am trying to stick it out.
However, so far, I have found the second episode more interesting. I'm about a third of the way through that one (time constraints), but it already kind of a nailbiter.
We'll have to see about the third one. If they cut out an extraneous storyline (from the book) with Quirke that doesn't really drive the plot, the third ep could be interesting indeed.
So, in other words, I am cautiously anticipating the last Quirke and we'll see how it turns out. :)
I bought the audiobook of "Elegy for April" earlier in the week and, I'm only up to Chapter 5 so far, but Jimmy has featured in three scenes so far that all seem essential to the plot, and none of them are scenes that we've seen in the video clips(although the pic of him with Phoebe in the tux might be from one of them.). I don't yet know how much he will feature later on, although the "April" mentioned in the title is from his and Phoebe's small group of friends, so we probably will see him scattered throughout.
Edit: Although, thinking about it, the little clip of Jimmy kissing Phoebe's cheek could be from the end of their first scene in the book...
Agreed about his hair in this shot. I think it's the way it's falling all loose and tousled over his forehead, making him look more like a pretty public schoolboy. Elsewhere, it looks like it's been oiled and combed down into submission, adding to Jimmy's slightly slimy character.
Having read all the books (don't go reading book 6 *sob*) I can see they've followed them very closely. well except for Jimmy's appearance - he's definitely not supposed to be this good looking. I do like the hair a lot better here as well. Plus, we get to hear a snippet of his accent!!!
