Apparitionsssssssssssssssssssss! Squee! (Part 2)

[byslantedlight]

Squeeeeeee! *g*

It wasn't at all Bonekicker-y... *g* Okay, I knew it wouldn't be really, but... well sometimes you just worry a bit... *g*

I'm sorry I don't have torrents or recordings or anything like that - I have the sort of tv where I balance an aerial on top at the precise precarious angle required to get a picture at all. All I have is happy - and slightly spooked - bounce...

Oh it was fab! And not that I've particularly been out of love with him since I first saw him in Pros when I was a teenager, but I think I may have fallen for MS all over again - he was lovely as the priest... I mean, he was good still, but he didn't feel the same sort of "good" that he was in JJD, if you know what I mean. Maybe because he was playing a character that actually is likely to have people looking sideways at him - a priest, you know? So he wasn't playing the "hero" role exactly, he was playing a man who might be a hero... if that makes any sense.

Oh, I'm trying to think what I can say without spoilering anyone... It was beautifully shot! *g* No, but it really was - from the opening credits which were just gorgeous, and then everythin else was so beautifully done... Oh, and not a spoiler cos all the articles have already mentioned it - the young gay priest in the sauna - very beautifully shot...

It's also not a spoiler that bad things happened to the young gay priest (stoopid newspapers - it meant that I was waiting for that moment, which is a whole different thing to having the tension build up without knowing what's going to happen... *kicks spoilers*) but to be honest it was nothing that we haven't seen in Buffy, so that particularly stoopid newspaper really needs to get over itself about that. Not nice, no, but they've been told it's a harsh supernatural series and there was the little beeb warning before it started for those of more delicate constitutions at the beginning, so unless they're going to go around banning stuff after the watershed... But really, I didn't think it was any worse than some BtVS scenes... Well, not much...

The demon itself was scary, but then the more ordinary something truly awful looks, the scarier I find it, so... *g*

Oh, I can't think what else to say - talk to me about it?! *vbg*

Proper squeeing shall come in the morning (or later tonight, if I can't sleep again). Damn BBC isn't letting me download it yet, just stream, and trying to do screencaps with something streamed is insane. *grumbles*

But gah! I loved the first episode. Loved it. *dances*

Ha - bet the Beeb is dying from all the people trying to download it!

Also - I didn't know you could screencap stuff from ibeeb - maybe I'll download it again myself! *g*

And yes! Yes and yes! *dances with the whee and the joy and the dark dark fabulousness of it* I almost feel myself coming over all religious... *g*

Technically speaking, you can't. I'm just pausing it grabbing the whole image of my screen before cropping it.

Are there torrents anywhere yet (or better yet, direct downloads)? The problem with Beeb downloads is that they get deleted 7 days after first watch... ;_;

Oh clever! I wish I'd thought of that... although you thinking of it and then telling me is the next best thing! *vbg*

I've heard rumour (down below? up above? See comments somewhere!) that there's a newsgroup who has a download, and someone is downloading it, and I'm hoping there's going to be sharing of either source or download cos otherwise it's just teasing, you know?! *g* Oh no! Current news just in - it's a locked group and not working! Waaah!

*keeps eye out*

I think if you download the Beeb thingie and download the ep rather than just watching it, you can keep it for a month (but maybe only watch a certain number of times?) But a download would be better! I mean, personally I'm going to buy the dvds anyway, this'll just keep me happy in the meantime, you know?!

[erushi.livejournal.com]

A download from Beeb will keep for 30 days or 7 days after the first watching, whichever comes first. That still won't be long enough to tide me over to the DVDs!

And to be honest, that screencapping method is how I cap Pros too. I have no idea how everyone does their caps - is it some sort of special programme? *g*

I'm hoping that lovely member at TSH who gave us GG and the trailer for Apparitions will be posting downloads too, actually. *crosses fingers*

Aha - cheers about the ibeeb thing! I knew I'd read it but I was too lazy to go and look again!

I do my caps via VLC player, cos that's what I usually use to watch Pros. I've not got any other paid-for programme that does screenshots at the moment. If you've got VLC then you can take screencaps with Cntl+Alt+S. I keep my fingers on Cntl+Alt and hit the S when I need to! I'm sure there are more technically-knowledgeable ways of doing it, but... *g*

Yeay! There is one linked down below - did you find it?! *g*
