(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

TV show - Roswell

TV Show - Roswell
Also called Roswell High
Score : 7/10
Multiple directors

Country : USA
Language : English

Duration 61 episodes (x42 minutes), spread over 3 seasons

Aliens living among us... they befriend some humans, whilst most of others would like nothing else than to study their bodies and search for a killer amongst them...

Apart for some bad music scores (i can think of a couple which actually kill their scenes, whilst most of the time i could've done with something quite different;  i did actually love Dido's song for the show and a few tunes during the 3 years run)

Some obviously corny stuff, but also some really good story telling, this show is mostly written by Ronald D. Moore, who seems to focus on science-fiction, and coproduced by non other than Jonathan Frakes - star trek tng's n°1 Will Riker. He actually makes a few appearences, one of them with John Billingsley, Enterprise's Dr Phlox...

Despite of being a WB show geered mostly for teens, there are a few epidoes which outgrew their main target, in my opinion, and had a lot more to offer to adults and teens alike.

All in all, a nice show, and the bluray player improves the dvd's image quality by a LOT, we actually compared, whoa!

  2. It's a good show even though it was made for teenagers lol
    It has its moments and it's different... and it's now cheap to buy if you end up buying it (about 30 € for the entire boxset)
