Yeah, it's a mini-series about the English Civil War (a fact that my brain tends to ignore in favour of John Simm's character, Edward Sexby, being incredibly sexy when he really shouldn't be). It's actually incredibly interesting and there is alot more of an actual plot than this picspam suggests, like the actual life of Angelica, a woman who was in the inner sanctum of British royalty but didn't exactly like what they were doing, plus there are plenty of things to watch for if you're in a somewhat more shallow frame of mind.

So, how's that for a sales pitch? ;p

I am officially in love with you!

You picked some of the most amazing scenes in the show and you had me laughing out loud and snorting (and frightening the shit out of my dogs) at the captions. I’m not a huge gore lover but that scene when Angelica shoves the knife in that sleaze-ball’s throat had me cheering and it was really well presented on the screen.

But oh yes, give me the bondage porn - hell yes! That was some fine footage and hurray for fulfilling your Sam handcuffed in a cell kink. And um, wasn’t that Sam Tyler there? Sure it was.

I actually quite enjoyed the shot of Angelica’s boobs and the resultant Angelica/Rainsborough scene, lovely lighting and sound effects. *cough*

I did miss the Prince and his delightful hair as I’m sure Sam Sexby did. A war poodle and a pirate you say. And then we went onto the Eyelash Porn and I loved nasty Sexby in this one, the way his voice was so sexy when he said, your head will follow your hair. Your random observation of rolling in the hay - hehe ( ... )

Yay, somebody loves me =D *snogs*

I'm glad it made you snort out loud (and also that I'm not the only one who snorts when they laugh sometimes)! I'm a huge fan of gore, so the Angelica's knife going into that git's throat was always going to be awesome, but when it happened I was actually cheering less for the gore-factor and more for the "girl power" (for want of a much better term) aspect.

And any scene with Sam Sexby in bondage is automatically made of kinky win. It really could have went for so much longer.

As for Prince Rupert, here is an account of all the brilliant things he does: piracy, inventing, art, owning a supernatural dog and being generally awesome. And while Sexby/Rainsborough would have been nice, I think my heart belongs to Sexby/Rupert (with bonus Angelica).

And cool, it's good to know I'll have someone to be all pervy with keep me company when I catch the handbasket downstairs ;)

LOL, I looked forward to your picspam almost as much as I looked forward to episode 2. Dammit, I am not watching for the plot, I am watching for the creepy!sexy!Sexby stuff. He really is a perv, just like we all suspect Sam to really be. Hehe.

Win!!

Hee, I'm honoured *blushes* And seriously, when you have Sexby being all disturbingly sexy, scarred and kinky, who needs a plot? (Then again, I would probably watch John Simm read from the phone book and be perfectly entertained, so I'm probably not the best judge of that). And at this point I'm fairly convinced all of Simm's characters are pervy/kinky, Sexby just happens to exemplify that trait rather well ;p

Thanks *hugs*

On a sidenote, did anyone else miss Prince Rupert in this episode? I did, especially since I now know, thanks to snowgrouse , that he has an allegedly supernatural war poodle and he ends up being a pirate (I think these count more as historical spoilers (which is a strange thing to write) than show spoilers, because this program already has enough crack with the devil to utilise the awesomeness of a supernatural war poodle.)

If that's the case, why don't we have more Rupert. As a pirate with a supernatural war poodle, he'd fit right in.

We should have more Rupert! You know that he would fit right in. I'm hoping that when (and if) the full on war begins, he'll be out there leading the Royalist charge, with his supernatural war poodle by his side ;p

Someone told me it was supposed to be "Axeholme" (which makes sense, apparently it had marshes and was drained when Sexby would've been young) and and and I heard it as "Axon" too. And so did 45eugenia. So you're not the only one:D. And yeah, I think he said "master" at least three times that ep and IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO SNIGGER.

I think I'm going to stick with "Axon," even if it is proven irrefutably to be "Axeholme." It's more fun that way ;p

Plus the word "Master" should never be used in the presence of a Simm character if you don't want people to snigger. Or imagine sudden appearances by blue police boxes...
