While filling out job applications, I just Mary Sued myself. The question basically asked me to describe my flaws and I wrote, "Oh, I just work TOO MUCH! I never know when to stop!" *snerk* Next thing you know, I'll have magical powers and killer dance moves.

So. I finished all of Slings & Arrows. I've been sitting on this post for a while, mostly ( Read more... )

I love s3 as well! I think, though, that I will need to rewatch it to appreciate it in full. I resisted letting it break my heart because surely, surely my quirky, charming little Canadian show would not CURB STOMP MY HEART. Even though I KNEW better from any season involving Lear!

Ugh, when Charles declares that Lear IS the storm I wanted to leap out of my seat and yell YES OH YES YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD.

Maria's long-suffering crankiness is a delight. The one thing I would have loved to change about S&A is to include MORE TECHIES.

YES YES MOAR TECHIE LURVE OMG. There are little bits of throwaway dialogue about Maria still playing catch-up with updating cues, and the long-suffering costume ladies, and "did you get those extra fresnels you needed?", but yes. One thing that bugged me about the s2 production of R&J was that Darren was like "I WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING"... and then miraculously, the set and costumes and lighting were a frillion percent different in a matter of hours. C'mon, dudes-- y'all are better theatre people than that.

What a great season for study in contrasts! That sequence where the directors are telling their respective casts that they will be changing venues and the torturous silences therein breaks my fucking heart.

Also on the list of things that break my fucking heart is that moment in margarita night with the girls, where Barbara goes off on her rant about you play Juliet, and then you play the Nurse, and then you DIE. And the post-awkward of "...I'm not like that. I'm happy." "...me too." "..." "..." *sob*
