GIP and Green Wing
Firts of all: I made an icon! Isn't it pretty? It'll never happen again, so I'm pleased it turned out OK. (I stole the picture from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jamalov29 - I hope that's OK Caroline?)
And then of course last night I watched 'Green Wing'. I've not looked at my flist yet, so I have no idea what other people thought. But here's my reaction.
But it is Saturday and I'll need to do stuff and spend time with the family and all that. Will do my best to catch up on comments. *smooches to you all*
ETA: Viastoney321 something to make you laugh! :)

First of all: Poor Mac. Never seems to catch a break - and now he's dying? Also he was written a bit oddly... Actually a lot of things seem to be getting a little too ludicrous, including Sue's cub (?????) and the 'van-hanging-over-a-cliff'. Of course all good entertainment, but it did feel like the writers were losing the plot.
But of course the BIG stuff is Caroline and Guy! (I never said so, but Jake was a complete freak, if impossibly nice - no man should wear an alice band! And when he revealed that he'd kept his Tamagotchi for 12 years I yelled at her to run away - fast!) Aaaaanyway, I've loved what they've done with Guy. Of course the character is wonderful (always going for the crudest thing possible), and you know exactly where you've got him - in a way he's very, very childish, always focussing on personal gratification. And then he falls in love and of course no one takes him seriously - classic 'boy who cried wolf'! But he tries so hard, and sometimes does well and sometimes fails, because - well he's an idiot. ::pets Guy::
So I absolutely loved the ending! Sorry all you Mac/Caroline shippers who might have been throwing stuff at the screen - but in all his idiocy and sweetness, Guy is a hairsbreath away from Spike - if Guy thought that chaining Caroline up might help his cause, I could totally see him do it. Couldn't you?
Heh.

no subject
See this is why I just kept to the stuff I liked! I flatly refuse to get caught up analysing a show where the characters give themselves coffee enemas (although that was *hysterical*! The man is a genius!).
I'm not convinced Caroline was truly in love with him, and it wasn't just a reaction to Mac not turning up.
There is that. But then I'm not even sure she was in love with Mac anymore. Bleh. At least she knew what she was signing up for with Guy! ;)
Number 1 child threw a complete wobbler after the cat nurse-plague victim episode
Ah yes. Impish Girl doesn't like the show full stop (and also she's only 4 and *much* too small), and although Little Miss M likes the idea of the show, she's not that keen in reality and hasn't seen it since ep.2. Thank fully Telewest now has 'replay' which means we can watch it anytime during the following week, so now it's just a Darcy-and-me thing. Because I totally forget when it is on - my brain can obviously only remember to watch ONE tv show a week, and at the moment that's House. I even kept forgetting 'Green Wing'. Stupid brain.
Now is Ten worth getting? Hmmm, the first two episodes were decent, but not much more. The third had ASH (and OMG but he was *fabulous*!) and was very enjoyable. The fourth I utterly, utterly adored, although some people thought it weak (apparently they were bothered by plot-holes - in a SF show?) and others turned into mad shippers. It's fun to witness! The fifth (last week's) was entertaining and ended on an excellent cliffhanger. So... not sure. If I was you I'd borrow them off someone! *g* But DT is *very* yummy and his doctor is extremely watchable!
