I won’t say not worth consuming, as it was utterly utterly stupid to the point of being some fun. However, I really wouldn’t recommend this to very many people unless you share my joy of nearly-dreadful yet explosive action/sci-fi flicks.
What other colour for sitting an exam!? :)
I love some of the ideas in here, but it’s not the easiest or most fun of reads. The first time the narrator switched for a chapter, I was totally confuzzled, and likewise there’s a bit where the (original) narrator talks about dreaming – and it took me most of a very puzzling chapter to realise it was more ‘reality = nightmare’ o_O
Overall I’m glad I read it, but not quite sure if I’m glad it was so short (<250 pages), or sorry that so many of the concepts were left almost tantalisingly under-explored.
I’m not a big fan of vanilla as a flavour of yogurt, but this one – from my yogurt maker – was easily the nicest I’ve ever tried: not too sweet, not sickly.
Poor Spartacus. That growth spurt he’s had since the last series has come at the expense of some of that gladiator-like bulk; likewise, he’s de-aged 10 years at the cost of his compelling natural force of character. Alas, tragic circumstances in the real world means it can’t be helped, but it’s hard not to compare Liam Gallagher to the late Andy Whitfield, and find poor Spartacus a bit less… something.
It doesn’t help that he’s not the only face to change, and added to the new circumstances and locations I found it a bit difficult to place some of the characters at first, and more importantly to warm to any of them. I really miss the dark humour of John Hannah’s character, too.
So, not not worth watching, but sadly not as much so as the first series and/or prequel.
Hmm. Going to give this a few more listens before I pass full judgment, but first impressions are just “not as good as the Firefly OST” – in fact, I’m not convinced I’d be able to tell the two were related!
