Wojo 2,453 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I wasn't really a big fan of Richard Kind's wide mouthed character on Atlantis. It's in his second episode when one of the show's most enjoyable villains meets his unfortunate end. I enjoyed this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would've rocked the role, while Kind was just irritating. I enjoy SGA, but the writers box themselves into a corner most of the time. And I find McKay irritating.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 McKay was annoying. Sheppard was great, though, and Jewel Staite was cute as a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,642 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Death Note Really enjoyable overall. Though it takes some narrative detours in the middle and the conclusion is sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot feels like a rejected filler episode originally written for Xena or Hercules, with a wildly miscast Richard Kind. He's not charismatic or threatening, just an irritating extension of his "Spin City" schtick. I ended up fast-forwarding parts of it. Really? This is one of my favourites.

Matt C 455 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It would be so much enjoyable if SGA hired Bruce Campbell to play Lucius. He'd be doing another Autolycus, but at least he'd be more charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BREXIT? 1 hour ago, publicist said: Carry on Abroad? I can't stand Carry On movies (or On the Buses), but I bet Benidorm gets compared to Carry On movies all the time. It's way off. Benidorm is northern humour, and has more in common with Phoenix Nights or something like that. It's not "saucy" or "cheeky". It's vulgar, uncouth and cringeworthy.

publicist 4,643 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is it Partridge-like?

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Nothing like Partridge, no. Benidorm is eminently watchable guilty pleasure programming. Low brow and unconcerned with political correctness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I just have trouble getting all the dialogue and these exotica things are only to be obtained on dvd collections with subtitles.

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Do you know actor Steve Pemberton? He was the hideous "a local shop for local people!" woman in The League of Gentleman and you would remember him as the incompetent kidnap contract sanctioner from the first Happy Valley. Well he's one of the main character's in Benidorm, and his banter comebacks are hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
