snake, snake, snake, snake your booty
Apr. 8th, 2010 10:10 pmI just finished watching "Snakedance," which had a terribly dull plot and was a good example of why allegory often fails. ( spoiler )
On the other hand, the costumes were gorgeous. Except for Nyssa's--she looked like a cross between a small child on the playground and an extra in an early '80s Madonna video. But I loved the Byzantine feel of the Manussans' costumes, especially the men's coats and Tanha's awesome gowns.
Martin Clunes was not quite gorgeous, but was surprisingly pretty (the kind of soft-faced, pouty pretty that doesn't age well, alas). Jonathon Morris as Chela was even prettier. So at least the episode was worth looking at.
Up next: "Mawdryn Undead"! Turlough, yay! I've been looking forward to Turlough for a long, long time.
*does not in any way have a fetish for schoolboy uniforms, nope, not at all*
