"Someone hit the light..."

Yesterday, I did 1,080 words on "Shipwrecks Above," which seems to be coming along well. I'll likely finish it today. The title, by the way, was borrowed from P.J. Harvey's "Liverpool Tide." Also, I've been meaning to post this for a while, and this new story has reminded me. From Heather Ehrenstrasser, a very cool piece inspired by "Fish Bride" ( ( Read more... )

I tried hard to like PD, but the cutesy narration ruined it for me.

See, that's one of the things I love. It's like a fairy tale for adults.

I got that they were trying to make it very fairy-tale-ish, but it just seems clunky and overbearing. YMMV, I guess.

Wow, that is lovely :)

The Fish Bride is beautiful, very hypnotic. I love her eyes, and her little sharp teeth.

I dare say... I watched a few episodes of Pushing Daisies and my mind would get stuck on one thing. Like the germaphobic character played by Brad Dourif in The Color Of Night, who couldn't touch anyone: couldn't the Pie Maker and Chuck have made good use of full latex bodywear? I kept waiting for it. It nagged at me to the point of distraction.

They seem to be figuring out about plastic...

But. Remember, it's a fairy tale. Things happen because they *need* to, not necessarily because they make sense.

I forgot about the bee-keeping waltz.

PD is my second-favorite TV show ever, trailing only BtVS. And I believe the second season was even stronger than the first.

If you're a Bryan Fuller fan you should know about Wonderfalls, which is in my top ten, maybe my top five. And unlike the 22 eps of PD (which really suffer from both seasons being truncated unexpectedly), the 13 eps of Wonderfalls form a reasonably satisfying dramatic whole.
