SPOILER ALERT: Dinna watch unless you have watched Season 6, Episode 8 on Monarch of the Glen.
OK - my first order of bizznazz: Bye Meg! Don't let the large, studded, medieval door hit you on the ass on the way out!
I will admit: I liked her. Liked. ED. Until poor Molly got back from her yoga retreat (Jealous, party of 1?) and realized she had herself some bona fide feelings for our Golly. Mmm hmmm. And who wouldn't? Boyfriend is a stud. Let's face it.
So anyway - when the Dancing Queen showed up and showed interest - I thought it was cute. But now I am glad to see her go. Let's just get Molly back from "I have personal business in real life" land so she and Golly can get BUSY.
Next - Paul. He gets more scrumptious by the day. I don't blame all these women for fighting over him. Actually - Isabel and Lucy have been very courteous to each other since Lucy showed her laird-trapped-in-the-body-of-a-personal-assistant ass on the scene. But here's what I don't get. WHY would Paul make out with her at that party??? He knew Isabel could come out and see him at any moment. And if that's why he did it? Well that's just a big, ol' cheesy move, don'tcha think? I didn't like that.
What I DO like - no, LOVE - is the tension between Paul and Isabel. It's delicious. I also love the new Laird next door. He's pretty delicious as well. I know I saw him in "Persuasion" last year but damn if I can remember it. Sometimes those Jane Austen adaptations run together in my mind.
OK so what else? Oh yeah - Jess! I wanted her to meet up with the hottie-pattotie vet down at the pub! I thought it was so sweet that she was hanging with Golly...but girlfriend needs a storyline! (And an occasional skirt, but that's beside the point.)
And how much do I love Ewan? He is some much-needed comic relief in spots. And he's totally adorable with that Glasgow (actually, Renfrewshire) accent.
And last but not least - while I'm on the subject of comic relief - I have truly come to love Donald. He is Hector revisited. What an ingenious move, making him Hector's bro. They are so alike. I keep thinking how much I wish Kilwillie would show up and get into antics and hijinks with Donald. A girl can dream, right?
I will admit: I liked her. Liked. ED. Until poor Molly got back from her yoga retreat (Jealous, party of 1?) and realized she had herself some bona fide feelings for our Golly. Mmm hmmm. And who wouldn't? Boyfriend is a stud. Let's face it.
First of all, the new laird next door is Anthony Head who played Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer! (Truthfully, I didn't watch the show, but I do know that.) I really like him, and I think that eventually he and Lucy will start dating, leaving Paul and Isobel to get together. Just my own theory...
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Jess in her cute little jeans! I like the cutie pie vet, but I'm holding out for the return of Duncan... (Don't burst my bubble!)
I thought that it was hard to understand Lexie when I first started watching the show, but Ewan takes the cake! lol I got used to Lexie's accent, so hopefully I'll get used to Ewan as well.
And Molly/Golly - when is this FINALLY going to happen?!?!
I love Ewan too - maybe not quite as much as Duncan, but he does make me laugh. And I agree, Donald grows on you.
ReplyDeleteSomebody tell me - am I crazy in thinking Paul sounds like he's from Liverpool?? I've been a Beatles fan since....well, let's not go into how long exactly shall we, but I know that accent like the back of my hand and I swear he sounds like a Beatle talking. He is supposed to be British (dare I say, a Sassenach??) but I can't recall if they said where in England he's from.
Does anyone else think Molly doesn't sound the least bit Scottish?
No, Molly doesn't sound Scottish at all, but have you noticed that most of the "refined" members of the cast don't? Maybe this is a class distinction?? Hector and Donald were supposedly born and raised in the Highlands, and they both sound English as well. Not to mention Kilwillie's hoity-toity Queen's English! Hmmm...
