Rose's voiceover: If it just turns out to be 20-something angst..."I've been left behind by the Doctor and my life is ooooooover!", then yeah, it'll be a bit lame. But I'm still thinking there's more to it than that, and it's going to make sense and be something tragic and cool. :?P
Eyre Affair: Cool. I loved it...even the romance, 'cause I'm sappy like that...and I think the series gets better as you go. More fiction, and more fictional characters I adore. Hamlet in the 4th book is *priceless*. *g* And yeah, I didn't really know Jane Eyre either...I actually had to go and grab a copy off the shelf at work to double check which ending was the real one! *snerk* But I got a real quick out of it nevertheless. The alternate universe stuff I thought was brilliant. The Crimean War...I thought it was pretty much chosen specifically so Thursday's brother could have died in the Charge of the Light Brigade...and as a Tennyson fan, I loved that. *g*
Laura Fraser...yeah, I can see the not-hardened enough...it was one of those things where I cast her early mentally, and later realized she'd be stretching her acting chops, but I liked having her in my head anyway. :?P Landen for me was Clive Owen. (Jude Law's an alright actor and seems to be a bit of a cad...Clive Owen just rocks. I loved King Arthur especially.) Let me see, other EA castings you'd recognize...I thought Thursday's father could only be Bill Nighy. *g* Spike was Ronen Dex from Atlantis. The baddie was Jeremy Irons. Rochester was Jeremy Brett. Thursday's brother (the living, minister one) was Jeff from Coupling...
