The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

[DutchIndeed]

Tbh, after reading half of that article I tend to agree with you.

S1 of the show is in the can, the ratings are pretty good, those that like it will stay with it and those that don't, won't.

It must be hard to keep your mouth shut when you see public denigration of something that you've worked so hard on, but you can't please all of the people all of the time, so maybe it's best to just sit tight and say nothing rather than leave yourself open to a personal attack like that?

(((((Brad)))))

Yeah. It shows how much they care about their work and I love seeing that, but it's being used as a weapon by those who oppose. It's just a tool to go and say ''See? That Brad Wright is rude against someone who doesn't like it and therefore he must be a behind who creates an awful show''. I'm not saying I agree with everything TPTB say, but I do think it's stupid to go and react by measuring yourself a victim role. So what if Brad doesn't agree with what you say on a public platform and tells you so?

And yes, that was a rant

[starlover]

Hmm..I think the writer of the article and Brad both took it personal and probably on the wrong place.

I don't approve both of their methods, but it does suck that Brad gets in a bad daylight because of this while he really cares about the show and it ain't that bad(like the critic thinks).

Overreacting all over the place...

I do agree with what someone else said and that the producers perhaps must let the show speak for itself now. The numbers etc. will do the thing and you can never have everyone happy.

In SG1 and SGA people were complaining about the lack of character moments and now probably the same people say there are too many character moments...it's never good enough

Aw I agree with that. It must be hard when so many people were so negative before it was even made and seemed determined to hate it regardless. I understand when people want to constructively criticise a show but when they start getting personal that's not on. And, if you don't like it vote with your fingers and turn over.

Eww... hubby is watching some nature programme while I sit here tapping away listening to my new Snow Patrol CD (yay, coz I luv them ) through the bins and he just nudged me to point out two snails mating. It was... one of those wonders of nature I have absolutely no desire to ever see again.


Update on bro. Well, brothers because you know the other one (hey, there's four of them) had major abdominal surgery a few weeks ago - that's gone all septic and not healing well and now they want to give him radiotherapy just to be sure they'd got it all this time. He's a bit down about that, obviously. As to the other one...well it seemed the surgeons actually found his brain - to be fair we have been wondering for years if he has one at all He's out of surgery and that's about all I know. My mother can be the vaguest person sometimes; it's like getting blood out of a stone trying to get information from her. Never mind me sat here since lunchtime biting my nails down to the quick... we're really poo at communicating in this family.



Umm, sorry Jumble. I'm afraid JumbleSim and JumbleMartin didn't have time to get it on again last night but I will take the time between now and Sanctuary to get them working on that baby thing.


Ohh and just because I can *fangurls Snow Patrol*

[Jumble]

"JumbleSim and JumbleMartin"?? Ok, that's an interesting twist I bet they've been practising while you weren't looking

*hugs for the brothers*

To cheer you up...

Oh, and earlier today there was a guy with dark hair and wearing a yellow slicker walking up my driveway...........

.... but sadly his eyes were brown, and he was here to clean out my gutters

Er, the gutters on the house that is

I think that's just it, really I think I'm just going to stop reading stuff about SGU and just keep watching it. I'm enjoying it so far, and really, that's all I can ask for myself.

Cags thanks for the updates on your brothers, keeping all my fingers crossed for you all and keeping you in my thoughts *hugs*

[Cagranosalis]

*stares at Martin*


Cheers up loads.


Hmm, JumbleMartin.... perhaps that's what I'll call their baby?

*wonders if now might be a good time to try out the twins cheat on the Sims?*

[Jumble]

*stares at Martin*


Cheers up loads.

*wonders if she should remove that particular pic from the wall, otherwise Cags will be speechless all day Sunday*

Much as I love him, I don't think I'd want his twins........ I'd rather just practise

[DutchIndeed]

Good luck with your brothers, Cags!
