Trap - it's the trio scrambling around in the forest with all the accompanying groovy music that makes this episode for me. Terry Wood is truly dire as whatshisname though.Artanis wrote:Well, I just watched “Trap.” I was expecting it to be a total disaster, however, I didn’t think it was that bad, even though the plot isn’t very good and Terry Wood was badly miscast. I did enjoy the scenes with Steed, Purdey and Gambit running through the forrest.Frankymole wrote:You may be surprisedArtanis wrote: No, not yet but I'm sure it can't be much worse.Anyway I'd love to know what you think of it, when you get to it.
“Gnaws” is still the worst that I’ve seen, so far. It’s the only episode were I didn’t care what happened, I just wanted it to end.
As for Gnaw's well I happen to enjoy it. It's very creepy at times. Yes, ultimately silly but I like all the wandering around in the sewers with the shadows etc.
The Gladiators in where the New Avengers really sinks - it's just not fun.

Trap actually is pretty decent when they're not focussing on Soo Choy. The woods bits are actually wonderful little character sketches (the bit where Gambit and Steed start arguing about who worries more about whom while Purdey gets increasingly exasperated is priceless). With a different villain and without the drug-dealing subplot (seriously, didn't Steed stop chasing drug dealers in the Keel era?), it could have been one of the best. I'm glad you found the best bits and ran with them. Gnaws has its bright spots, too, although I don't think as many. But Gladiators is quite unforgiveably dull in spots.Darren wrote: Trap - it's the trio scrambling around in the forest with all the accompanying groovy music that makes this episode for me.

Worst: "Room without a View"
Best Emma colour: "Epic", it's so bizarre, but absolutely brilliant.
Worst: "Bird Who Knew too Much"
Best Tara: "Love All"
Worst: "Homicide and Old Lace"

Gosh, yes. "Trap" is absolutely dire. It's in the middle of that dreadful batch of episodes from TNA2. The "K is for Kill" duology is miserable too. And don't get me started on "Lion & Unicorn". By comparison, "Gnaws" is really quite excellent. Although fans of Thunderbirds will recognise the plot!Frankymole wrote:Have you endured "Trap" yet?Artanis wrote:I just watched "Gnaws" and it's the first Avengers episode where I couldn't find anything to like about it.
