'Something Wicked' Musings

[ithildin]

Watching Something Wicked, and it occured to me to wonder -- did the Holy Hot Tub reverse Mac back to a 'blank slate'? Was the fire bomber guy that much worse than Kronos? Not that anything about Dark Quickenings makes all that much sense, but a random thought.

Richie asking if the teacher kills the pupil was bittersweet. [sigh]

Oh, and the fire bomber guy when he was doing his beatnik poet thing about Death. Hah! Don't know why I never made that connection in my brain before.

I loved the beatnik poet thing about death. Hilarious!

I think it's because I've seen Deliverance way more than SW. For years, all I owned were Methos eps a friend had made me VHS tapes of. Now I'm watching the DVDs in order, I guess i'm picking up 'new' things :)

I'll have to get S 1 & 2 one of these days.

***shudder***

I know many fans disagree, but I think Season One is *terrible*. Season Two is less terrible, but the series really picks up in Season Three.

Completists will disagree with me, I know, but except for a few episodes you can easily do without the first two seasons.

I'm not a completist but I do disagree with you. S1 and S2 laid the ground work for everything that came afterward. Without S1, we wouldn't have had Darius. Without Darius, there wouldn't have been such a stark contrast to Methos. "Band of Brothers", which was the first episode for David A., is worth the price for the entire S1 DVD set. So is "The Hunters", which gives us Fitz and Horton. And without S1, you don't get to see DM in a long-term, stable relationship like he had with Tessa. That alone makes the rest of the series that much more poignant. Watching "Counterfeit" hurts in the same way that "To Be" and "Not To Be" hurt. The "could-have-beens" and the "should-have-beens" of "The Darkness" echo throughout the rest of the seasons.

S1 and S2 aren't as good as 3, 4 and 5, but don't neglect their importance or the gems like "Studies in Light". Even "The Zone" wasn't as bad as you might think. :) It wasn't told as well as it could have been but the story was deeper than it's given credit. JMHO.

and while my posts are usually long-winded, here all I can say is :

Yeah *points to mischief* What she said.

Me too x 2 :) I just couldn't afford to buy all the seasons, so of course I was going to get the Methos seasons first!

There's episodes I really like in those seaosns though :)

Well as a Forever Knight fan, I think series two might be a must for you as Geraint Wyn Davies turns up in an episode. This is also the series where Rebecca (one of my favourite characters even though she only turns up in two episodes!) dies.

And series one should be had for the Darius episodes alone:-)

...of course, having said that, I don't own them myself - yet!
