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*

It's on alt.binaries.tv, but you have to have an account with a server and know your way around newsgroups to dl it.

And I just discovered that my free server doesn't seem to be working.
It appeared to dl, but there's nothing in my folder. :(

Oh, poo and bum! And wee!

Ne'er mind, we'll just have to keep our eyes out harder... *g* Thanks for trying!

Yeay and yeay and yeay! I shall wait until tonight when hopefully most people who've not seen it in the first place will have downloaded it, and then have a go myself! (I have no idea if that makes any difference to download speeds, but... *g*) January is too long to wait for the dvds, and ibeeb doesn't last long enough! Thank you and thank you! *vbg*
