This & That

[ithildin]

We're watching the pilot of Mag 7 and I realized I never mentioned how much I wish Daragh O'Malley had been in the series, and not just the pilot. Well, there's all those Sharpe movies...

I took the day off today to get some stuff done, and afterward, we did a Monterey swan song. It was local residents get in free day at the Aquarium, so we did the aquarium, and then had some wine and had dinner at Bubba Gump's.

Now we're watching M7 over again. And if all goes well, I'll try and get a wee bit of writing done.

Others in the fandom have told me that in the original script for the pilot, Buck died and Daragh became the 7th man - I loved him in the Sharpe movies too but he could never have been as good as Buck. I'm glad they changed it so Buck lived. Anyway that's the mythology behind the pilot - as it was told to me.

Ahh! That's good to know. Because it did seem like they were singling him out to potentially be a regular, and then he just disappeared.

Ah Daragh! I loved him in Sharpe and I have a lovely piccie of him bathing in a stream which I think is from Mag 7...

And Ith? I know you must be excited about moving and all, but has anyone told you that they feel a little sad that your leaving Monterey? I am a little bit.. I had hoped to return there someday and this time take the chance to meet you & Nin. *sighs* but oh wells...
