Shock in Sherwood

3 Comments

rhood.jpgActually, shock in the Holy Land would be more appropriate.

I was looking forward to the Series Two finale of Robin Hood, but I was also dreading it. I knew from spoilers they had A LOT of material to cover and wondered how they would be able to fit it all in. Well, they found a way. At the very least, they found a way to make you forget anything that happened in the first 80 minutes of the 90 minute show. I couldn’t be in more shock at the ending than if, if, um, I can’t even think of anything more shocking (within reason, of course). OMFG is just about all I can come up with as a commentary; and I HATE text talk.

I guess I’m out of my “bad boy” phase because I absolutely hate Guy of Gisborne. Richard Armitage plays the character with such Sean-Bean-wannabe-ism that it’s almost painful to watch. I can see why many in the fandom would like the character, but as for me, there’s no love. NONE.

There’s a Series Three coming up. How in the hell they’re going to do it, I have no idea. No matter what they do, it’s going to be a whole new forest out there. *sigh*

General

Oh, yeah, I’m ranting.

Today is payday. I got my handy dandy snazzy little “THIS IS NOT A CHECK” direct deposit slip to prove it. I did NOT, however, get any money. The bank is blaming my employer, my employer is blaming the Federal Reserve, and I’m blaming everyone (except Hobbit). :ranting:

There soooooo should be retribution for this. For instance, if I’m one second late with a deposit, what happens? Oh, yes, I’m slapped with a $35 fee for every transaction I make. I want my bank AND the Federal Reserve to pay me a minimum of $35 per day until they get my money in my account; more depending on how many times I spend money. This is bollucks. :cussing:

Doctor Who Christmas Special– I’m going to have to go with, um, bad. Didn’t enjoy it much at all. Kylie Minogue was flat and The Doctor had too many messianic moments, especially coming off the whole last Series ender. Sill looking forward to the new Series, though.

Stargate: Ark of Truth (waaay early) was awesome. It felt like a comfortable extended episode and I will be buying it as soon as it hits the shelves in March/April.

Ben and Jesse are slated to attend my first ever New Year’s Party, and I hope they do indeed make it down. Hobbit, Istar, and I have already begun planning a menu. If the guys can’t make it down, there will be lots of food to go around.
