Torchwood: the finale (no spoilers)...or maybe not

Jul 11, 2009 23:27

I was rising twelve when the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night was originally released. Already loving their music, I was interested in the movie, so I took myself off to the cinema. And hated every minute of it. Oh, not the film itself - which, as I realised many years later on actually being able to hear the sound that went with the visuals, was a ( Read more... )

I started the week expecting a certain level of storyline and emotional tone for this series.

What we got was a whole 'nother level of story telling and a completely different feel and tone for the week.

As I told Mr NTB I have thoroughly enjoyed this series more than any of the Doctor Who specials.

I may not agree with some of the specifics, but overall I think this is the best television I have seen in a while.

I am very, very glad to see the tenor of your thoughts :-)

BTW that icon is gorgeous.

Also BTW, email me? I have some small news. Not entirely unrelated to this post (which I suspect you grok)...

Feel free to nab the icon - I honestly can't remember where I got it from - its been lurking on my PC for around 12 months now.

I'm glad you grokked my meaning - there's no way I want to spoil the last episode for anyone.

Thx - I'll take it for my files at least :-)

Aw, I'm sorry your Hard Day's Night experience was ruined! I've only seen it in a cozy living room with my dad and brother, or alone in my apartment, so all my viewings of it have been good. It was one of those classics when we were growing up that we would quote back and forth with our dad ( ... )

I'm excited on your part - and can hardly wait to see what you think when you see the new miniseries!

I'll leave the rest for our next IM, as I'm crawling through the backlog of emails and zinestuff now that I have some of my Hex back...

~nods~ Well FWIW, the latest miniseries was brilliant and harrowing telly, full stop, so I'd recommend it to anyone, Torchwood 'fan' or no :-)

I waited through much of my childhood for the Beatles to exist, was deliriously gratified when they finally did, will always love their music and respect their contribution (come on, there wouldn't be any Britpop without the giants' shoulders of the Beatles and the Kinks to stand on), found all of them vastly talented and two of them to be good and useful friends later on, and never understood why anyone would scream for them :D
