Sense and Sensibility (1971) 1/4
Jun. 6th, 2025 08:09 amThe Beeb are repeating a 1970s adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, and based on Part 1: Farewell to Norlan, it’s not really threatening the supremacy of the early 90s Ang Lee & Emma Thompson film. But, you know, there’s enough of Austen there to enjoy.

Time for team pressure!
Jun. 5th, 2025 07:59 amKilljoys 1.7 - Kiss Kiss, Bye Bye
The strongest episode so far, with developments on all sorts of fronts as the three Killjoys worked on two of their personal issues. Granted, I felt that the show’s fast pace was a problem in a few scenes, refusing to let a scene breathe, especially some big emotional ones.

Adding period drama to the roster
May. 31st, 2025 09:31 amMiss Scarlet and the Duke - 2.1 Pandora’s Box
Back in 2019, I was able to watch the first series of this show, and now the second and third are on U (formerly UKTV/Drama.) I know about the casting and title change that are coming, and that’s definitely changed how I’m watching the show. But hey, our heroine is solving crimes anachronistically in the Victorian era. Also, our heroine is played by Kate Phillips, who was Jane Seymour in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, latterly. There’s no trace of her in her Eliza Scarlet.

Past and future things
May. 25th, 2025 03:21 pmAs I haven’t been watching any TV that I’d post about (I will get around to it, and with the bank holiday, this week will be lighter), I reposted a fic yesterday!
Sweet (I could be your favorite girl), The O.C. PG. 368 words. Kaitlin/Spencer. Summary: Over the years, she’s been getting better and better at having things her own way. Fluff. Established relationship. Future fic. (First posted in April 2007.
I only lightly edited it, although I wanted to do something about the first two paragraphs and all the uses of ‘nibbling’, but it would have been too much. Wow, that was only a month after I last reposted a fic.
Apparently The Wheel of Time is cancelled (is it my fault for not getting around to watch the third season yet?) :( In possibly good news, I saw that pictures from Zootopia 2 were released. Admittedly, sequels don’t have a great record (especially of original properties), but I am excited about more adventures with Judy and Nick and exploring the world further. It will all come down to the script. While I get it that they won’t be developing the ship, and that's fine, that's what fic is for, I don’t want to see any love interests for either.

Sweet (I could be your favorite girl) The O.C., PG, 368 words. First posted: April 2007. Pairing: Kaitlin/Spencer. Fluff. Established relationship. Future fic.
Spoilers: This is set during Valentine’s Day, several years after the events of ‘The Case of the Franks’ and only takes that ep into account.
Author’s note: I wrote this vignette because Kaitlin seemed so sad in that ep, and I remembered how she really liked Spencer. The title is taken from the Gwen Stefani song ‘Sweet Escape’.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t profit from ‘em.
Summary: Over the years, she’s been getting better and better at having things her own way.

Self-promotion and Étoile
Apr. 27th, 2025 04:12 pmI reposted a ficlet yesterday: That Cooper Family Christmas Feeling, The O.C. PG. 280 words. Kaitlin, gen. Summary: Alt!world Kaitlin’s Christmas Eve night. AU. Post 4.07. ‘The Christmukk-huh?’ (March 2007)
Very seasonal! (Or not.) Very niche, as it expands a bit on the alt world Ryan and Taylor visited. Lightly edited from the original version.
Étoile 1.1 The Swap
Me a few weeks ago: Why is YouTube promoting this trailer at me?
Me last week: OH, it’s an Amy Sherman-Palladino project about ballet (never did get to see Bunheads) on Prime.
Me after watching the trailer: Oh, I am so watching this.
This is me after watching the first episode.

Belatedly, that Dead Like Me sequel
Apr. 9th, 2025 08:10 amDead Like Me: Life After Death
Finally, like well over a decade and a half later, I have now seen this. I wasn’t expecting much based on what I recall of the general reaction when it first came out, and yeah, it was very uneven, ( Read more... ) Oh well, the completist in me has been satisfied, even if the fan wasn’t.
