Sapphire and Steel (original series) part deux

[leoniedelt]

I finished the rest of the original assignments. I really liked the one at the train station, and the one about the virus. Not so sure about Lead in the first one, but of course I love Silver.

I take back what i said about Joanna Lumley being detached, but i think Susannah Harker's Sapphire is more emotional/involved. Lumley's a great actress though, taking very seriously what had to be difficult acting circumstances.

I also think Steel needs to be used better in the audios, and was used better in season 2 than season 1, but McCallum's Steel is superb. What a hard bastard he is.  Warner's is the one that sticks in my mind, of course, being my first Steel, but i will always see McCallum, even when I listen to Warner talk.

I think both the audios and the show are superb in every way, and such a contrast to New Who and such shows. And yet just as interesting and engaging, if not more so!

edited: I even made a S&S logo icon that's a mix of the old show's sapphire and steel ball thingys, and the new logo and Big Finish on it. Yay me. Totally gankable if anyone wants it.

Time travel totally confuses me, but I like it all the same. Some of the Who stuff, some of the HP sets my head spinning, but in a good way I think.

Sounds good, I'll start looking out for it! :)O

I dont 'do' HP, but that's mainly just because i'm awkward like that, and tend to lean away from things that everyone else is massively hysterical about. Hee :)

Plus Hp fandom is insane, or so i've heard?

I'm not part of the HP fandom as such, all the shipping wars scare and annoy me, and I could never ship the characters of a magical plot anyway ;P

I'm talking about a bit in book 3, with the time-turner? confuses me completely. and yes, it is completely insane.
I stay away, mostly for my own health.

I've not read any of the books and only saw the first movie - cant imagine shipping them, they're just kids!

I have read the books, but I just can't ship them. I've grown up with them, so I just... can't.
