Lovers Walk.

Just by the way, for anyone disappointed with Mark's review of Lovers Walk, here's a link to Arbitrar of Quality's review. (Same deal: Unspoiled first time viewer, a ton of rot-13 in the comments etc. for those who weren't around at the time. But, uh, AOQ's take on things was... different to Mark's. *g*)

I get a weird vibe that Mark is FEELING more because he's expecting angst, you know? Like, I know a friend's mom who started crying when she saw a shot of a baby doll at the beginning of the Titanic just because she'd heard that it was a sad movie. So you get yourself in the mood and ANYTHING will trigger it.
You might be right. He knows what Joss is like, so I guess he's constantly curled up in a worried ball, expecting people to die and HORRIBLE things to happen... And he's kinda excitable ANYWAY. I mean, he's got the same sort of attitude for LotR which is just weirding me out, as Tolkien is as far from Joss as you can get...

ETA: He has pre-Traumatic Joss Syndrome?

Loved the Arbitrar of Quality review. Thanks for linking! :)
AOQ is delightful. And had the most surprising opinions - but always interesting. :)

Haha! Indeed. :)

I am very grateful to you for this insight.

*dies* =D

Suddenly it all makes sense. :)

ETA: Oooh, it makes sense of everything else too. With Moffat, he goes 'EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE CLEVER AND COMPLICATED OH NOES WHAT IS GOING ON I CAN'T WORK IT OUT!!!!' and with LotR he's going 'OMG EVERYTHING IS EPIC AND EVERYTHING IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL FANTASY THAT COMES AFTER HOW SHALL I DEAL???'

His tagline is 'You're not prepared' - but he is. And that's the problem. :)

Ha! You know, I think you might be on to something there . . .

He's unspoiled, but that's something completely different... Oh, I feel clever now. :)
