I thought they did a great job with the creepiness/sweetness/whatever you call it. :) <br /><br />And I know several others who don't really like The LBD at all, so you're far from alone in that.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-18665442688315549282014-09-15T15:57:25.925-04:002014-09-15T15:57:25.925-04:00I have tried twice to watch the LBD and just can&#...I have tried twice to watch the LBD and just can't quite get into them.

Thanks Alex! :) And actually, I had that same problem. The audio for NMtD wasn't that great for me either. With their accents, understanding them was kinda difficult. But I may go back to it someday. We'll see.<br /><br />Yes! The AoJE was so good! Until that ending. Was so disappointed with how they ended it. :( I understand that they may have had reasons for that, but somehow I think they still could have worked it out better than they did. Such a letdown to a great series.<br /><br />Lydia was amazing, wasn't she? I agree that The LBD wouldn't have been half of what it was without her. I think I liked Emma for the same reasons as Lydia. They change so much for the better during their respective series. And they have such great hearts, even when they're making a mess of things. As well as they both tend to put up a front for other people, but those who love them know different. If that makes sense?<br /><br />I don't know anything about science personally, so all that stuff Victoria talks about just goes over my head. But I can see where her antics would be frustrating. And I can certainly tell that it wouldn't be tolerated in real life. I've enjoyed the show so far though, so I'll keep sticking with it. We'll see where it goes. (Also? I didn't realize you had a science degree. How cool are you?! :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Alex! It's fun to know who else is watching these besides me. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-9370240426874648192014-09-13T19:39:32.750-04:002014-09-13T19:39:32.750-04:00I so agree with you there, Sandy.

I'd've loved to have had more Mary. She was awesome!<br /><br />I haven't seen the rest of New Peter and Wendy and now you have me intrigued.... <br /><br />I'll also definitely have to try Classic Alice and Green Gables now. I love the Anne stories, so if they're sticking pretty close to the originals, then I'm in.

And you're ...Thanks Birdie! :) They really are. And you're right, EA is simply wonderful! After The LBD, I admit it took me a little to warm up to anything different than that. But I'm so glad I stuck around. That "If I loved you less..." moment was delightfully amazing! :)<br /><br />I couldn't really get into NMtD either. But I know Classic Alice is pretty popular and if you recommend it, I'll definitely have to try it soon.<br /><br />As always, thanks for dropping by! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-39222243789504021732014-09-10T23:57:43.066-04:002014-09-10T23:57:43.066-04:00Eh, I've watched them all, my current favorite...Eh, I've watched them all, my current favorite is Green Gables Fables, mostly because it's just so enthusiastic about it! :) I've watched Nothing Much to DO and it was pretty cute, but I had a big problem with the audio, half the time I couldn't hear what they were saying so I had to put on my head phones and turn it all the way up, and it got annoying after a while, so I only watched about 5 or 6 eps but it was fun. <br /><br />Saw Classic Alice but lost track of it and didn't go on, Peter and Wendy was fun but a bit slowish. Really liked The Autobiography of Jane Eyre but I would have liked a better ending.<br /><br />LBD was good, but Lydia stole the show, I loved all the videos she was on about twice as much as the ones where she wasn't (lizzie often came off as very judgy); and I LOVED Emma Approved, Emma's heart was always in the right place even if her methods weren't always the best, and I liked her a lot for it. She wanted to help, often made a muck of things, but it came from a genuine place.<br /><br />Now... I can't stand Victoria from Frankenstein MD, I have science degree and I would have been kicked out of university for doing even a third of the crap she pulls off in a show, and I wasn't even studying to be a doctor. She really rubs me the wrong way.

I actually thought Emma Approved was better than LBD although no one shined in that series more than Lydia<3 I loved what they did with her character. I only wish we could have seen more of Mary. <br /><br />Classic Alice is very fun, and Green Gables Fables is cute. I haven't read the books but it seems that GGF is sticking to the original story line. I LOVE the new adventures of peter and wendy<3 I can't wait for season 2, especially with that ending...!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119179764394966859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-18425036690911420812014-09-10T17:01:22.469-04:002014-09-10T17:01:22.469-04:00Great post!

I agree with you that the LBD is absolutely the best, although in my opinion Emma Approved comes veeery close. At the moment I'm watching Classic Alice, which I quite like. I tried a few episodes of Nothing Much to Do, but I couldn't really get into it. Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.com
