pass on the vampires, give me some Edwardian drama

[pywacket]

is it just me or is buffy sucking a LOT lately.



I understand the mutiny...or at least why they are having one. Buffy is cracking up and seemingly trying to pull everyone down with her.

Or at least that's what I can get...BUT I admit to not following it with the fervor that I have in the past. This season is just lackluster


Now the manor house--that's excellent drama. I love watching everyone rebel against their roles or accidentally fall into believing they are actually lords, ladies or servants.

I adore the chef (even if he is french) Edgar the butler and Master Guy the 10 year old.

But I'm forced to wonder, as they rail against their prescribed stations...did these people NOT study any history? Did they not read any period literature? Some of them seem so clueless.

Tonight's episode hasn't made it here yet, but I think this season is a definite notch up from last season, which was pretty much a wash, other than the musical episode.

i agree about last season in many ways except for the hot naked spike action...yum.
and the singing yes..

it just hasn't been itself the last two seasons...the snappy dialogue isn't as much in evidence and they are waist deep in angst.

yes!

I have "Manor House" waiting for me on TiVo...can't wait to watch it. Make sure you check out the web site on pbs.org (http://www.pbs.org/manorhouse/), especially the link "You in 1905." You enter your gender and your father's occupation and it tells you what your fate would've been.

Yay old things!

I saw an ad for Manor House yesterday. It sounds fantastic! I can't watch it tonight though.

I can't believe what's going on with Buffy. I'm glad Faith is back, but what happened to Xander broke my heart. And now the mutiny. WTF? This much angst is depressing me, but I can't stop watching because I want to see how it all ends. Rumor has it that some of the crew will migrate to Angel.
