[The only good thing about the remake of A Room With A View on Masterpiece last Sunday was Sophie Thompson as cousin Charlotte. While we all remember Maggie Smith fondly in the role, Sophie brought a subtler neurosis to it that, while not superior, was certainly worth watching.]

[The rest? Not so much. We didn't ask for Elizabeth McGovern's bad accent as she swooped thru the role of Mrs. Honeychurch like a demented harpy. We certainly didn't ask for a new, post-WWI epilogue, where widowed Lucy Honeychurch Emerson returns to Florence yet again and runs into the Italian wagon driver and they go for a picnic in THAT meadow. And that pond scene, the one that meant so much to certain budding sensibilities? Yeah...no.]

[I'm afraid Season Eight of Buffy jumped the shark, too. :( ]

[Bingeing on back episodes of Battlestar Galactica and Torchwood, though? Yeah. Good.]
