Dresden Files - First Impressions

Jan 22, 2007 00:10

I'm still sick, and I need to get some rest before going to work tomorrow if I want to keep my sanity with The Little Darlings, but I had to post just a few first thoughts about Dresden on Sci Fi.

I haven't watched it yet because of time constraints and we got home too late and had to record it. Are they showing episodes out of order on the very first one? Crap.

On the other hand, BSG... *squees happily*

Yeah, the episodes are airing in a different order than they were shot. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not since, originally, there was only supposed to be a Dresden TV movie. The network decided to extended it to a series of 11 episodes so far. Perhaps the other episodes were shot around the original movie to fill in the gaps. Last night's was a decent episode - not a spectacular pilot, but good nonetheless ( ... )

Hmmmmmmm...I agree that there seems to be details that got left on the cutting room floor. God knows why because those details seem to be quite essential. But I do like that they're bringing back the more mystical aspects of the show. And I can't wait to see who it was D'Anna recognized!

As for how they deactivated her. Wow. I was quite fascinated to learn they seem to be vulnerable until they leave the gel. Amazing! Man, I love this show! :)

I hadn't even heard of this series before you mentioned it, or the books it's based on, which is a shame because it sounds quite good! I've added the first book to my to-read list, and I might have to see about "acquiring" the premiere of the show at some point, since I'm sure it'll be a long time before we ever get to see it here *rolls eyes*

Thanks for the inadvertent rec! :)

You're welcome! :)

The book series is quite good. Jim Butcher writes some engaging and creative stories that are really just plain fun to read. (And the fact that James Marsters narrates the audio books is a lovely bonus.)

The TV series is shaping up to be good as well, but in very different ways. As long as you don't expect them to be that similar, you should certainly enjoy them both. *G*
