Apparitions Ep 6...

[byslantedlight]

Well, just...

... just gosh!

That were good, wannit?

Well I liked it - and I adored that it was a grey ending, that Jacob didn't win outright, although he won the battle he was fighting, and... yes... (And of course the way is clear for another series, since they didn't defeat Armageddon, or anything like that... *g*)

The worst thing is that I'm anticipating all the criticisms that people will have of it - the Jewish guy was still a baddie in the end (except that he wasn't actually Jewish, if he had no god, just as he hadn't been Christian, so...) - there was too much gore, there was too little gore melodrama/surprises/twists... It was too religious, it wasn't religious enough, the ending was too predictable, too ridiculous, too... whatever anyone can think of, I imagine...

I don't care, I enjoyed it for what it was, just like I enjoy Pros for what it is and don't care about the bloopers and weird plot devices and so on in those eps, either...

Who me? Defensive? *g* I dunno, but I think it did a brilliant job - it did get people talking about it, and thinking about it, and it was different from alot of what's been on lately, so...

Plus - Jacob looked good... *g*

I dunno - anyone got anything sensible to say?! Maybe I should have let it soak in for a bit, but mostly I just want to watch it again, now...

Phew I'm exhausted...

there was too much gore

Is this to do with what I said?! I don't think being objective about something means it's not good or that I don't like it as much as you do! In fact it shows that the programme is worthy of scrutiny.

I thought MS was very good in it and the whole thing was riveting - perfect or not......

I just slid into the last 20 minutes - I completely forgot it was on - and then kicked myself over to the television!

Oooo - he is such a fine man... that was my main thought. He got slapped as well! (Why is that worthy of an exclamation mark? *frowns at self*) All the actors are just brilliant I think, and BAFTA is another thought that was running through my head, I mean surely - if not for MS (and it should be for him!) then for the director of photography, or supporting actors, or well, something!

Maybe I haven't read around it enough, but have there been tons of criticism on it? People will always criticise, but it already has another series accepted, hasn't it, so let them say what they like, enough others will like it. It's keeping my fella intrigued (and even despite him now realising the Pros-y connection!) and he is a hard viewer to win over!

Is that sensible?! I'm not sure I can be, all I want to do is wibble over Jacob / MS, and think grown-up-Doyle!

Still not peeking (will be catching up as I start my house/budgie/cat/goldfish sitting, all of which begin tomorrow), but I'd like to know if there seems to be a second series hinted at ....
Cheers!

Yes I thought it was brilliant, and he was brilliant!
And I think the actor who plays Michael is excellent in the part... I do find myself wishing LC was playing Bukovac (although that actor is good too).
Now I'm praying (*g*) they'll commission a second series and that the DVDs will have lots of lovely MS extras!

So, hey, for once I get to read the comments on the episode! I am...well, okay, I am not caught up. We had a quick rundown of "the plot so far" beforehand, and then we watched the last episode. So, I've seen the first and, er, the last. *g* But I thought it was terrific. It was everything you said, and there are a lot of bits that I am sure will only be picked up in a rewatch. It definitely made you think.

MS is, I think, in his prime as an actor. He carried so much weight with this role, and really only could do it with years of experience. Terrific all around!
