gormenghast ep 3 part 6

[KayaOfAyalia]

I don't think Steerpike is very good looking. I mean, Jonathan Rhys Meyers can be absolutely gorgeous sometimes, but he isn't in this.

[MrAlohashirt]

I think JRM was rather mis-cast as Steerpike. The BBC went for eye-candy whereas in the book, Steerpike was ugly to the point of being slightly deformed. However, on the plus side, Neve McIntosh really nails the part of Fuschia.

[hethenia]

He is so devilishly brilliant!

[Atheneastro]

00:45 I love this character. He's great.

[agreatguy6]

@evieriley hahaha, not the actor, just the character. He's so... idk, I'm just not fond of him lol

[agreatguy6]

Am I the only one that despises Steerpike?

[NorthstarXXXI]

it just now occured to me that chistopher lee (mr flay) played saruman in lord of the rings...i fail

[stayjit1]

I've always admired the production values of the BBC and while I'm not complaining, I think the props dept. ran to the nearest African Art store for the 'bright carvings' and simply painted them.Oh well, I might have done the same myself.

1.How could this happened to a "Young Lord"?

2.How could a princess like Fuchsia had only one pursuer?

[xdarkwingsofdesire6]

Fuchsia's character is very different in the books than in the show. In the novels, she's a very bright, intelligent character--but she's been so neglected that she is uneducated in a lot of things. She's inquisitive and has a very sharp wit; not some silly little girl like this. She dies by contemplating suicide brought on by the revelation that she loved a murder, and, climbing to her windowsill--slips, hits her head and is knocked unconscious before the flood waters receive her, drowning her.

[Morgana0x]

@xdarkwingsofdesire6 Your description of Fuchsia is right on the mark. Though I liked the series I didn't like the way they changed her so much.

[MoonPhase94]

I can't remember, but did he kill her in the novel? Or did she die naturally?

[pacbizkit]

*SPOILER*

she was thinkin about commitin suicide n slipd in2 the warter by accident i think

[MoonPhase94]

I meant Nanny Slagg (lol, what a name!)

[Morgana0x]

@MoonPhase94 These books have the most wonderfully inventive and apt names. Not to mention funny.

[motive440]

Steerpike...the ultimate bad boy, dream boy. Soooo delicious.

[TeneaRhiannon]

fuchsia is the best!

[zombiesbass]

Its hard to distinguish the real line between good and evil in the series, I wonder how accurate this is to the book.

[TheNudibranch1]

not very accurate.

[anisete46]

@zombiesbass As far as I remember it is quite fairly accurate, but I mean to re read them again soon after seeing the series... the books have perhaps a deeper philosophical aspect

[fucsia89]

Oh, how can you say that! i love Fuchsia character! (is the reason why I use this nickname, of course...)

[xxtiaan]

exactly, I confess I have a crush on her.

shes beautiful and a bit mad, whats not to love

[WeaselKing1000]

@xxtiaan I agree, Fuschia is very lovely :)

[xxtiaan]

she reminds me of a wuthering heights era kate bush whos hit the crack pipe once to often, sheer brilliance

[Morgana0x]

@xxtiaan LOL...good description. I don't remember her being this bad in the books though....was she?

[xxtiaan]

@Morgana0x no she is different in the books, still wild, but not manic and darker, much much darker, like everything else was in the book, I loved this series but they totally missed the point of alot of the book.

[Morgana0x]

@xxtiaan Yes, they did. But no series could do full justice to the books. How can a tv series recreate a feeling? When reading the books you get so drawn in, so immersed in the atmosphere. It's totally different.

[phytoalexa]

Christ, Fuschia is so fucking annoying, I just want to garotte her >.>

[TeneaRhiannon]

@phytoalexa I like her.
