Date: 2009-01-22 11:09 am (UTC)I'm actually kind of surprised he lasted that long before ralphing though. He looked as sick as a dog before he'd even boarded the ship.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 11:12 am (UTC)Bahah yes. As a total stranger to seasickness I cannot know how it works precisely, but yes, he totally did look badly even before he boarded.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 11:47 am (UTC)*nodnod* In the first ep he looks like he should have n00b painted on his forehead.
I came back from a school trip to France on a ferry and got seasick. It's godawful. I didn't throw up, but I had to lie down all the way back.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 11:51 am (UTC)Haha good. Since, you know. Hornblower, according to Wiki, is supposed to be 17 in the first one. Which. n00b. KID!
Aws! I don't think I support any version of motion sickness ... ahem. At least I haven't had any indications so far? But it doesn't sound like fun.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 12:24 pm (UTC)I think it says he's 17 somewhere on the actual show. I haven't read the wiki page but I know that, so it must be on the first ep at some point.
And I don't, most of the time. On the journey to Calais I was fine; it was just the journey back that knocked me for six.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 12:41 pm (UTC)*nods* probably. And Ioan was 25 (probably 24 when the first film was shot). But yeah, he does give the n00b! Easy prey! vibe quite well. And he's trying so hard! >.>
Aws! I hope you don't get it again! ... now I want to sail. *facepalms* somewhere, but across the Channel seems a good choice. *peers out the (dark) window* Maybe I'll check if there are excursion boats along the Danube, this season. I think there usually are, in the summer.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 01:36 pm (UTC)Yeah, I think he makes a good job of it. He's like that quiet, dorky kid who gets picked on in school.
Well, I don't really go on boats often because I hate water. Actually,
That sounds nice. I do, despite everything, like the idea of boat trips because you get to see a lot of landscape in a short time and in a way you wouldn't see it from the land. I just hate the fact that the boat has to be in the water.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 01:53 pm (UTC)Well, he's the quiet, dorky, conscientious kid who gets picked on in the midshipmen's mess. >.> Or, you know. Wherever. Except that he did manage to get his own 'crew' under good hold. Admirably.
Aws! Oy. I just realised it's almost eleven years since the time I was at Universal Studios (in Florida). Pffft. Weeeeird.

Date: 2009-01-22 02:26 pm (UTC)True, but he sort of had to. It was either get your shit together or forever be plagued by that psycho whose hair colour was completely different to his eyebrows.
I was there...over 14 years ago. My most distinct memory of it that I have is of some guy trying to hang out of that big Jaws they have on the pier so that his girlfriend could take a photo.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 02:35 pm (UTC)Now I kinda sorta want to metaquote this? *giggles* ahem. But maybe as with the previous time I put something there, people won't get it. But this? Is precious. (Also, as a major fan of, um, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, the youtube fanvids I've seen of further down the line of Hornblower have made me go, OH WAIT, THAT'S WICKHAM! or... Bingley, etc. >.>)
Aaaah you beat me there! *grins* I don't think I was interested in Jaws exhibit then? But the Tower of Terror was a blast, for me, as well as the Star Wars exhibits. And the Indiana Jones stunt show. Aaah. good times >.>
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 02:57 pm (UTC)Ooh, I don't think I've ever been metaquoted. If I have then I've completely forgotten it, which is something I do pretty easily.
I'm lost when it comes to period drama. Although I do recognise half the cast from somewhere else. And actually, I saw a clip of Philip Glenister in one of the later ones and was all 'IT'S GENE, HAHAHA!!!' and clapped like an excited sealion.
The tower wasn't built when I went. I did see the Indy show though! We went to a Beetlejuice one as well, which was just hilarious. Ohhh, and the Back to the Future ride! They don't have that anymore and it was fantastic!

Date: 2009-01-22 03:11 pm (UTC)*giggles* Ahem. Apparently I find amusing things that most people just go on staring blankly or going, 'bzuh?' at. That said, the comm is still fun to watch, some of the time!
Bahaha. I could probably recite blocks of those two (Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility) by heart, seen them so many times. But yeah, things like that.
And I still need to see Life on Mars, don't I*nods* yes, it was newish when I was there. But mmm. yes, fun times! *will not plan on possible visit to France just to check out what they've set up there, nope, not really. Yet.*
no subject
Date: 2009-01-22 03:41 pm (UTC)Well, the conversation me and EJ had should give you a good example of our humour.
And yes, you need to see Life on Mars. Not the US remake though, or if you must see it, see it after our version. Our version's better.
I went to EuroDisney about eight years ago. It's smaller, rainier and full of French people. So yeah, nowhere near as good as the parks in Florida.
