Boy, I've missed all these TB forum posts, darn it, must pay more attention. I've had enough of real life for a while, much prefer to play in the GA sandbox now.
I'm enjoying the second half of the first series so far. (Have I got that right, it's very confusing now they split it)
Great first episode with lots of action. Really liked Kayo's sequences in the hotel, for me, that is an improvement on the original, Tin-Tin was wasted on serving sandwiches and dictating Jeff's letters, even though she was supposed to be a brainy engineer.
Isabelle, more Virgil, I hear ya!!!! . I did love the little smirk on Virg's face in Ep 2 when he turned off the shower in TB2 so that Gordon has to remain 'fragrant' for Lady P. Reversal of the prankster roles - surely not!
I just watched Ep 3 today and I agree again with you, Isabelle, the reality went a little off re their concern for Virg and also the fact they all went to bed before wishing him a happy birthday, after all that effort. The sun had barely set for goodness sake!
I thought the movement was pretty realistic in this one, especially the scientist's and Virgil's movements through the ice-cave complex and I was seriously impressed by the surface ice-floe caving into the sea. Superb graphics, or was it a model - anyone's guess?
This episode's Anderverse in-joke - Torchy being the little girl's (and Virgil's) fave TV series .
I do wish Grandma would wear something else rather than that tracksuit, either she smells something rotten like Gordo, or she must have thirty of the things hanging in her closet. That was one of the things I loved about the original, their extensive wardrobes! (Okay, being a bit girly here, apologies!!)
