Not true Britains, my ass
Apr. 16th, 2007 10:35 amSpent this weekend with the friends, and as usual for the weekends that I'm absent, missed out on other goodness. But seeing as I did catch up with Shippuden, watch OZ Season 1 and the first three episodes of Dr. Who, I say it's a fair trade.
I enjoy talking Geass with William because he really doesn't understand why fans appreciate Lelouch. I told him he won't understand unless he watches it. Most of our discussions are me trying to get him to watch through promoting the political intrigue. From these alone, he's completely convinced Suzaku is justified, which is mostly true, and that the fans are all enamored with a terrorist, something he doesn't get. He better watch it this time. Oh he also argues with me that the Britannians aren't true Britains because he says without the Cesar invasion, the proper mixing of Anglo-Saxon and French blood wouldn't have occurred, and their language wouldn't have evolved the way it is now. I hate hanging with the history fiend.

( As far as my manga readings went: )
Dr. Who Season 3: I like Margaret better than Rose so far because Rose played along with 10's antics and tended to irk me in that fashion. Margaret is more of the straight man for his crazy so the combination is more amusing. Yes, I want him to stop whining about Rose in every episode. I never liked that relationship, and I'm sick about hearing it. Can't 10 and Margaret just space/time-hop without the prerequisite angst? The Shakespeare episode was beautiful, especially when Shakespeare saved the day by quoting Harry Potter. Nice touch.
OZ: I just want to see more of in general. Everyone always tells me Oz is depressing, and it is, but the writing is perfect. Each character has so much to them so that even when you truly hate one of them, there is still something there to remind you that this racist rapist or whatnot is still human. That and I just love Beecher. Crazy-ass Beecher more so. My friend's only got the first four volumes, and I only borrowed Season 2 for now so I'll have to track down the rest.
