Yeah, I think (generalising massively) male viewers will tend towards 'oh, I didn't even notice all the ladies were naked and the guys weren't', but female viewers will pick it up, and often feel alienated by it. Someone did say a few pages back something along the lines of 'does it matter if David ...

I love you, Referendum

Hey everybody, remember how unpleasant last night got? (If not, read the relevant pages, it's a trip, but not a good one) Let's not get derailed into arguments again. There's a lot of bruised feelings about. Eyebooger and Aqwell, I'm looking at you: (a) we've had the 'you can't judge it till all 18 ...

Been pondering a discussion we had a while back about semiotics and how those who love the series are interpreting the text. The longer I sit with the thought, the more I reflect on how the place I'm in, in my head, in my life at the moment, plus the age/situation I was at when I watched the origin...

And to stay on topic, like Sylvia_North I found the fog disappointing. The lights off camera also flashing on the trees surrounding JRP seemed clumsy/lazy to me. Loathe as I am to get into the film vs digital debate, there are certain things - fog machines and contrast lighting being high on that l...

I don't think it's fruitful to try to argue - however gently - for who loves/respects original TP the most. We're all very different beasts with very different brains, and we receive/interpret things differently. Been pondering a discussion we had a while back about semiotics and how those who love ...

And Needleman and Yaxomoxay - stop encouraging him.

If you were my kids I'd have sent you all to your rooms by now.

I didn't ask you how you feel...

I asked you how you think... and the question still stands...

Do you deny that Season three alters the tone and meaning of seasons one and two??

Shush now, that's enough.

How can you be a fan of the original yet not mind that it gets corrupted for a return? Because we fundamentally disagree with you about whether or not it has been corrupted. I see.. so its a case that you genuinly like toothpaste in your Orange juice? Well each to thier own... I think you are not l...

For our American friends, it's the equivalent of watching a British drama and the only American character is a fat, obnoxious loudmouth who constantly exclaims 'Gee Whiz!', 'Real Neat!' or 'Hot Dog!' Offensively bad. I completely agree with your broader point but, amusingly, I can think of one Amer...

watched TP as it came out. I have not re watched it since. Season 2 i really actively disliked about 1/3 of, but i stuck with it for the good stuff. There is nothing quite as bad as the worst bits of season 2 ( wyndham earle, civil war, etc) in TP TR. That said, the best aspects of TP TR have ( for...

Such a cringeworthy scene. Americans, genuine question - do you get why that scene would be so cringeworthy to a Brit? Cor blimey guvnor. Yes - has anyone from London actually referred to it as 'London Town' outside of a Disneyfied Dickens adaptation, since WW2? For our American friends, it's the e...

Also, I heard someone say '18 hour movie' again! Let's be clear, this is not structured like any movie - not classic 3 act structure, not 5 act, not 8 sequence, not 'art house' (whatever that even means - it's a 'how long is a piece of string' definition for anything that doesn't fit in an easy box)...

Small point: when Frank Truman calls Gordon Cole to tell him about the missing pages from Laura's diary, why doesn't he mention the massive fuck off clue that Major Briggs left for them? The clue that leads to the portal? I think it was because he wasn't sure it would lead to anything. Better to ch...
