Shallow Thoughts On SK: Beguilement

[ase]

My Deep and Meaningful post was derailed by norabombay and I trying to write science fiction epics on the phone again, so I will instead offer this thought: my second, scattershot dip into The Sharing Knife: Legacy is not reconciling me to the romance or Fawn; it's making me gesture emphatically at The Steerswoman's Road instead. I am not supposed to be annoyed at plucky Fawn, but oh, I really, really wish her selfish recklessness were not presented as courage.

Ah! Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I am sufficiently isolated from pop culture that I have never heard of this person.

I didn't mean to imply I didn't like the Mikado now-- once I got over my need to approve of all characters (seeing more opera helped a lot with this ;) ), and saw a decent production, I found out I really liked it :)

my largest gripe against Hollywood is the fact that I can't get the Kline/Ronstadt movie on DVD.

Yes. YES.

I'd strongly recommend "The Filkado."
