Okay okay I want in on this meme.

And your impressive powers of persuasion have convinced me to give Horatio Hornblower a shot. And by impressive powers of persuasion, I'm talking about Paul McGann in naval uniform.

The Prisoner (I AM SO CLOSE TO FINISHING IT OMG. Like, three episodes left); horror... genre... errr, let's pretend that's a cohesive fandom (you can choose to just do horror films or horror lit if you'd like); Sherlock Holmes (I saw it in your interests, I hope you count/have counted it as a fandom)

And by impressive powers of persuasion, I'm talking about Paul McGann in naval uniform.
Ohhh indeed. His character is only in the second half of the movies (Mutiny, Retribution, Loyalty, and Duty), but he's in almost all of the books. Unfortunately I am not on my computer right now, but when I am... there may possibly be more photographic evidence of his awesome...

I'm so thrilled I led to the downfall of world. Actually it was RA who did that as aided by me. I never would have encouraged others if I knew the show would rip out my heart and spit on it like it did.

I want in on this.

I think it was a whole complex aligning-of-the-stars thing going on in my relationship with RH, but never for a moment do I regret clicking on any of your Armitage posts! If it was corruption, at least it was the good kind. :P

Robin Hood (to keep the cycle going!); Merlin; Legend of the Seeker (I am SOOO far behind on this show that I despair of ever catching up, but it might happen one day)

Meme me, and I promise I'll actually answer this time!

Well, as long as you promise...!

Star Trek: TOS; There Will Be Blood (I guess you can alter question 3 to be favorite moment or something); Powell and Pressburger

You shouldddd! Well. As I said in the post, Lieutenant Hornblower was definitely my favorite of the books, helped by the fact that I didn't have the plot spoiled for me by having seen the movies first, so I don't know if it's quite as good if you already have a rough idea of some of the twists and reveals (but, I mean, I've reread the book and still enjoyed it, and obviously there are a lot of differences from the movies, so). It's a bit confusing to know where to start because the books were written very much out of chronological order, so while Lieutenant Hornblower, for instance is the second book in terms of order of events, it was the seventh Hornblower book that Forester wrote. If you get the newer editions, they're numbered chronologically... older ones might be organized by publication, I'm not really sure. So anyway, for the best ones I'd probably recommend the original trilogy (Beat to Quarters, Ship of the Line, and Flying Colours), and, well, Lieutenant Hornblower, obvs. Also, fair warning -- if you were a big fan of ( ... )
