beccaelizabethWatched through to the end, Sharpe is really damn depressing. Almost everybody dies, nobody comes out of it looking good, and by the end it called into question which side is worth fighting for at all (and suggested possibly none, or more likely 'the ordinary people' which wasn't how it were organised in battles), so even though the same dudes that were the enemy all through lost, it didn't feel a whole lot like winning. More like it made war look messy and vastly stupid. Especially done the old fashioned way. Not shooting at the dude in charge! Bloody daft.
Haven't seen the most recent one.
Don't know as it feels like there was much left to do.
*shrugs* shall see.
I wasn't in a very good mood anyway. I'm sure its possible to get a flag waving yaay reading out of the thing, I'm just not in the mood for it.
Also there's intertext miserable - watching another character played by AD get all stabbed to death. Not cheery even if he was playing an idiot this time. Though that speech about loving her more than honor, that made him a bit more sympathetic. Plus he didn't run away. Someone told him he could save it all by really fighting, and he did try. And got all stabbed to death a lot. (see why the xover miserable leak?)
I like Highlander better because the people picking fights with each other is usually the ones to die. I like Buffy better because they have big fights but usually manage to save the world.
I think I've watched too much of the stuff lately where they end it by everything going horribly wrong and then they all die. That's actually a fairly popular ending.
The twist in this one - where it all went horribly wrong and everyone died except the hero who managed to step in and get cheered at for apparently winning, well, that didn't make me cheer. He'd run away, though mostly from being annoyed at someone not scared. Didn't look like he earned that ending this time. Even if he was right a lot, it didn't look like he did right.
I should watch something cheery and uncomplicated, with good people that are actually good and win by the end. Possibly without even killing stuff.
Possibly something with muppets again.
*sigh*
