just re-watched Casanova...thoughts?

WHY Russell T. Davies must you insist on ripping my heart out and squeezing it like a stress ball?! HONESTLY. I'm always fine until it gets to the end where it's just Rose Byrne and Peter O'Toole and she's telling him that Henriette sent her to look after him and just...GOD. D: The two of them are just phenomenal in that scene - especially Rose. I cry every time I watch it, it's like Doomsday all over again. The man might be a psycho angst whore to rival every other angsty fanwriter on the internet but STILL. He's definitely got me wrapped around his bloody little finger.

Other points of merit include David Tennant shagging everything in sight and then looking ridiculously pretty while he angsts (seriously, it should be illegal how pretty he looks when he angsts - ILLEGAL I tells ya!). I also just realised that Ms. Hartigan from "The Next Doctor" played baby!Casanova's mum! AWESOME. I love British TV, they just seem to circulate the same dozen actors for everything :D I love it. Nina Sosanya was also spectacular, but then she's been good in everything I've seen her in really.

I'm also currently listening to the love theme (the only frakking song I can get from the soundtrack because OH YES, IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST) and oh Murray Gold, why does your music have to be so gorgeous? As far as composers for TV in particular go, he's right up there with Michael Giacchino for me which is saying A LOT because Giacchino has done some of the most SPECTACULAR stuff on Lost (amongst other things). I love you Michael and Murray!

Right. Very tired now, must go to bed. Ciao, ciao!

I just finished watching Casanova for the first time yesterday...OMG I was about in tears at the end! I'm kind of curious exactly how many women Casanova had in bed, (and how many times DT had his pants around his ankles.) There were SO many funny one-liners in there, I must, must go back to watch it again!

It's very good - I've cried every time so far! I remember the first time I watched it and I'd only just started getting into Tennant's Who eps. From there on I was just going nuts trying to find stuff he's been in because I loved his work so much :P

Well, that and he spends half of Casanova with, as you said, his trousers around his ankles XD that was kind of awesome.
