BatB rewatch: Eps 1-4

[mizkit]

Arright, to start with you should actually go read Steve Aryan’s commentary, because it’s much more thoughtful and insightful than my own, and he’s my co-pilot on this BatB re-watch. :)

Here is my relationship with Beauty and the Beast in a nutshell: I had never read GREAT EXPECTATIONS when the first episode aired, and did so just to find out what

I had to comment. You don't know me well, Mizkit, but I know you (not only because of your books, but because we have several good friends in common). I wanted to share my own first reaction to BatB, because I think you will truly appreciate it. Reading your post, I couldn't stop smiling. We apparently are misplaced twins or something, because I feel the exact same way about everything you said. But anyway, on to my anecdote

Did you know there is a sound track to BATB where Vincent recites poems?? And there is sheet music :-) I loved playing "The First Time I Loved Forever" on the piano.

Yes, I've owned it since 1989 or whatever. <3 :)

And there is sheet music

How do you think I learned the lyrics? :)

I saw Linda Hamilton guest starring recently on a show called Lost Girl (the first three seasons are on Netflix) and thinking, simultaneously, "Wow, she's aged!" and "Wow, she's so gorgeous!" She doesn't look like she's been hitting the plastic surgery, like so many North American actresses do when they start aging, so she looks her age, but oh, boy, to look like her at her age is still a fine and fabulous thing.

Oh my! I might have to revisit this since it's on NetFlix. I didn't watch this show with anywhere near the religious devotion I'm seeing here, but then the episodes I do recall tended to deal with more emotional drama than most teen boys are willing to bother with. :)

Though..You said you're watching on DVD, and I know there are differences between NetFlix in the UK and the US, but curious if you've ever seen the current CW remake?
