Even Excedrin Fails

Arrgh. I have a headache. I have a massive headache. Taking six tablets today hasn’t helped much. Putting in for a transfer has alternately lessened and worsened it. So. What’s the one thing that can push me over the edge? Yep. It’s Benny Ninja time on ANTM. Hellllllp. I have a twelve hour workday tomorrow and I stayed up for this?!? I’d love to stay up for Make Me A Supermodel, but I think I’ll be catching my recording of it on Friday. Nah, you’re right. It will be Saturday before I watch, as I will be conked out on the sofa from the minute I get home Friday until sometime Saturday morning. Heh.

In optimistic news, I just found out that we get not only Robin Hood on Saturday, but Primeval too! Finally–some excellent news.

[Edit for the OMFG! Oh no she didn’t on ANTM!]

Return to Sherwood

997 Comments

Robin Hood S3 Next Saturday marks the return of the BBC’s Robin Hood. Nearly all my fandom friends watch, so it will be good to have another shared fandom again. Though we lost some cast members after S2, we will get some new faces to love (or hate), so that should freshen things up a bit. I don’t know how much of the accepted legend will be followed, but I’m truly not bothered by the liberties the show takes; it works well enough for me!

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*

Trivia!

Mainly for Ben, but anyone can enjoy.

When Fandoms Collide:

Sam Troughton, who plays Much on Robin Hood is the grandson of Patrick Troughton, aka the Second Doctor! Cool, no? Patrick is also known for being the first actor to portray Robin Hood on telly. Sam’s cousin Harry Melling is best known as Dudley Dursley in the HP movies.

Every British actor is related in some way. I’m sure of it.
