X-Files, Foyle's War...
Aug. 3rd, 2005 05:18 amMmm. Marathonned some season one X-Files. There's nothing quite like very early stupid!cute to make you remember why you liked a show. I find, as long as the Conspiracy isn't there, I like XF. Pity it collapses under its own weight later on.
And Scully's dad is General Hammond.
Cue bad crossovers.
Leoben was in an episode, too. Which means you can totally have Cylons on Earth during season two. And Scully and Mulder find the Cylon conspiracy... Or maybe Leoben just converts Scully to the Way of God.
Saw Phoebe Green, too, and was reminded of the fabulous What God Has Joined Together which is an XF/Excalibur crossover, with the Uncreated (who, really, should run into the Cylons... ooh, three-way crossover). And was one of the first crossovers I ever read. Pity Luba and Roberta never finished it. Sigh.
(also, saw Badger, but I kept calling him Weasel, and if they ever DO a Deadpool movie, Mark Sheppard should SO be Weasel)
I randomly got the first episode of Foyle's War from the library last week. Really liked it, it's set during WW2, and the politics and interpersonal strife is just done incredibly well (and, er, makes the stuff on BSG look complete crap, sadly). So I got the next three eps.
And now must wait until I can get season two. Since, er, WWC is this weekend, and I can't marathon eight hours before then. Really.
I've also found a new Sam to love. Samantha Stewart, Foyle's driver, is rather lovely. She's cute, perky, bluff, not particularly good at being sneaky, tall, smartly-dressed. And has no qualms about hitting people with lead pipes.
I feel certain that they put the lead pipe (or whatever it was) scene in just to snag me.
She's also snarky at times. (her meeting with Foyle's son was marvellous)
*happysigh*
The mysteries themselves are full of drama. Lots of emotion and passion, things of that nature. They're really well-done. And, as I said, the interpersonal stuff is just incredible. England during wartime is so beautifully-drawn, when bombs might fall at any moment, or an invasion occur. And I love that they weren't afraid to show every side of humanity, so you get the nazi sympathizers, the communists, the people who hate without question, etc, and there's no clear-cut message of them saying, "OMG, this is right! And this is wrong!"
Well, justice is about the only right, really. Finding out the truth and bringing murderers in.
And Sam has great legs.
