And now, for a completely different rant

BONEKICKERS WTF??

First they find the True Cross. Then rewrite American History (and save a handily topical black presidential candidate). ANd this week? BOUDICEA. Oh and rewriting the history of Rome too.
OH DEAR GOD A big soppy speech about how archaeology IS LIEK DREAMS. I may throw up.

What i want to know, is where are the burnt mounds? Where are the 'anomalous features'? The random undateable pits?? The sitting in the mud for HOURS finding fuck all? THE GOING TO THE PUB?

Bah. BAH I say.

Everyone acknowledges this show is crap! Why do people keep torturing themselves with it? :)

I was in and out making food and I couldn't find the remote. Then it got so awful (HI DEAD BOUDICEA!) I couldn't STOP.
So truly truly bad.

All that happens when the camera is turned off. Of course. ;p

Much like the going-to-the-loo-behind-a-tree, I imagine.

yeah, they don't seem to do a lot of that either...

Boneknickers?

Dreams? What? Isn't it actually like REALITY, just OLD reality?

Dreams are what we have about Mountie Maids.

*twitch* We watched the first ep. Usually, bad shows hold a special appeal for us, as in "OMG it's so bad we have to see what happens next". This went far beyond that in the first week.

Yesterday, my wife made a good call. At about quarter to eight, she said to me "Ooh! If we plan carefully, we could accidentally miss Bonekickers!" I agreed, and I'm happy to see that the plan was Good.

See, i am a big fan of BAD tv. I love to sit and yell at the screen. But this was just... unwatchable. Last week's was really dull!

This week's did provide many more yelling opportunities, despite the fact that I was only watching bits in between making food and doing various other things, but was So. Very. BAD. I may excuse myself from watching any more of them.

(unless i REALLY need to yell at something ;p)

You mean it's not like dreams?

Also, next you'll be saying you don't get a whip and brown fedora at graduation!

Nor wear overly tight clothes and jump around acrobatically while shooting endangered animals with pistols!

Now if there's ever a fancy dress party, [livejournal.com profile] hellison needs to go as Lara!

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2008-07-23 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Indy would be easier - I assume she already has the crop...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-07-23 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
I have a Range of them. And would much rather be Indy than Lara ;p Tho, she does get better guns...

WHERE ARE THE PIG BONES?

Anyway. Archaeology is LIEK DREAMS. My dreams. The ones where the mud has got inside ma pants and my plumbline is rubing my inner thigh and I get all hot and sweaty and ravish the nice young new junior digger from the Antipodes.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-07-23 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
There were NO PIG BONES. On the CALCIFIED (wtf?) corpse of boudicea, then FLASHBACKS of her looking remarkably young and pretty. And clean. Til she stabbed herself and the cave blew up.

This NEVER happened to me when I was digging. NOTHING ever blew up. I feel cheated.

Your dreams sound better than the one the telly ;p

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-07-24 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm finding it hard to believe they had any advisors at all. Or that they listened to them. So show me! SHOW ME

Current theory here is that Bonekickers = what CAF *wished* they could be ;p

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/ 2008-07-24 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
off with splitty headache today but will sekritly show you tomorrow. he is a big english archaeo, and after the first episode he emailed us two steps away from committing ritual suicide!

see, this is why you need to hire matt and get him a uniform. Or at least a long swishy coat ;p

ouch poor advisor guy! hopefully they haven't included his name anywhere!

AND THEN MAKE HIM A JUNIOR DIGGER AND THEN I WILL RETURN TO ARCHAEOLOGY AND RAVISH HIM IN MY DREAMS
