byslantedlightSqueeeeeee! *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*

Recorded it while I was at work, came home and watched it in a darkened house, on my own, at one o'clock in the morning, and still didn't find it too scary! It was more thriller-scary than horror-scary I think, and the scene in the sauna was no gorier than some of the stuff on Waking the Dead or Taggart... or even CSI:somewhere-cool-in-the-States for that matter!
I'm wondering how long Father Jacob can go in disobeying his cardinal without getting into serious trouble!
And oh, he's lovely. So... normal, and down to earth, and just - a really nice man.
MS is very good at doing the ordinary-man-capable-of-extraordinary-things, isn't he!

Date: Friday, 14 November 2008 03:07 pm (UTC)I do agree about the no-more-gory-than-many-other-things, but that's the right-wing papers making a consevative fuss for you... Their latest campaign is to ban swearing even after the watershed - and claim it's not censhorship... *headdesk*
I suppose if the Cardinal doesn't know that he's been disobeyed... though I guess Italian-priest showing up might be a bit difficult to cover up... *g*

Yes! Yes and yes and yes! *g* Sort of cardigan-y... *vbg*
