So being generally a failure this week I never managed to watch last week's episode of Desperate Romantics and decided just to jump straight in with the second episode.

Tell me other people are watching this gorgeous haven of OBASC* glory?

At this point I would like to give thanks to whoever came up with iplayer. I hadn't even heard of this but that cast...! Turns out I really do rely on my flist to hear about interesting things. :D

[morganmuffle]

Watch it!

I probably should have mentioned it before but because I hadn't actually seen it... sorry! I only found out about it because I have google alerts on Mark Heap :P

[donna_k]

Oh I will. First two episodes are downloading as we type. :D

You wouldn't think the Radio Times gets delivered to my house every week, would you? *g*

[morganmuffle]

LOL I only managed to get a look at this week's RT today so I can hardly blame you. I just don't miss Mark Heap if I can help it!

See, I've been looking into things as we've been going along so I know the "official" theories about why Ruskin wouldn't sleep with his wife but it's very hard not to believe the discredited ones (homosexual) when he's LOOKING AT BARNETT LIKE THAT ACROSS A DESK ♥ TOM HOLLANDER ILU FOREVER

There are other things, but mostly ♥ (so much love for the brotherhood and their sniping and backstabbing and blindness and selfishness and ALL THE THINGS THAT I SHOULDN'T LOVE. OH FRED, IT'S GOING TO END SO BADLY FRED)

[morganmuffle]

WELL EXACTLY! I mean it's not as if "historically accurate" is a thing they're going for and I swear there were actual honest to god sparks when Sam looked up and Tom and OH GOD ♥ it's like two generations of totally awesome actors meeting and being HOTTER THAN WORDS and yes

Fred is a silly boy ad OH so pretty and probably a bit in love with Rossetti? IDK but a bit broken anyway in a sort of "wanting to be brothers" way that the others aren't quite... I love that they are all bitchy and evil ♥♥♥

SPARKS! 2 generations of UTTER AWESOME being SO HOT I MIGHT DIE (speaking of Tom makes me think of Joseph and IDK what Flashforward is but it has Joseph Fiennes, Dom Monaghan and John Cho, I am VERY interested)

I think quite a lot in love with Rossetti and maybe he knows it and maybe he doesn't and he fell in love with the girl who he knew was exactly what Rossetti wanted and just OH FRED, poor little made up for tv (mostly, I think) Fred.

PS http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvyq2 about halfway down is a video of Aidan reading one of Rossetti's sonnets, it's kinda hothilarious lol also, Lizzie is Amy Mason and she played Alice Guppy in TW. I.e. one half of the f/f Torchwood 3 C19th couple. Or so tells me wikipedia!

[morganmuffle]

Flashforward! Yes... someone was talking to me about that, Klo maybe IDK but WOWOWOW with a cast like that it'd have to go REALLY wrong for me not to like it!

And actually Joseph Fiennes and then that sonnet link and I wonder where it was I saved the various Shakespeare sonnets read by actors, Joseph was definitely one, but you couldn't see him read and *takes shaky breath* you'd have to be a very strong person to lok Aidan in the face while he read that to you *shivers*

That's why I recognised her! Which I did sort of half but they should do a Torchwood 1890 (or whenever it was) now :P
