TV Season Rating
Only three episodes of this first season are believed to exist, so it's hard to speak with great authority as to its quality - but the ones we have are brisk, efficient thrillers, as good as the videotaped Honor Blackman episodes (and possibly more coherent). This is 60-year-old TV so the production can be primitive in places, but much of the acting holds up.

Again, judging solely from the three surviving episodes, the arc of the season seems to go from fairly 'straight' stories (Girl on a Trapeze doesn't feature Steed at all) towards the kind of tongue-in-cheek, off-beat material the series is best remembered for (Tunnel of Fear is rather more extravagant, with more of a focus on Steed as an entertaining eccentric). You can almost see the producers figuring out the potential of Patrick Macnee, not that Hendry isn't completely reliable. Not the show in its iconic form, but you can see how it started heading that way very early.

"I’m always fascinated by what girls do with their trauma. Laura Palmer is a girl who is caught up in some bad shit and is a victim of sexual abuse. She understands, in some way because of her trauma, that she can never be this clean, perfect girl that everyone thinks she is, and instead of succumbing to self-hatred internally, she externalizes it and seizes control of her narrative as a bad girl, as a dirty girl, always choosing her path to destruction and chaos, which I find perverse but also can’t tear my eyes away from. The way Lynch bridges fantasy and reality and uses supernatural forces to symbolize trauma feels like a more accurate representation of the chaos that trauma wreaks in somebody’s mind and body than a cold, hard naturalistic portrayal. I love that he was able to circumvent TV censorship and really show what was going on in the dark."

I just had a look at the new Item Description Widget. It's a great idea, something which I'd love to use, but for me I think it would need a few more elements before I fully make use of it. Currently I use an IMDb widget on my blog, which I just pass a unique movie or TV show ID and it generates a box on my page (see attached screenshot). It includes director and writer info, along with runtime. The names of the people are all links so that you can click to see more about them on IMDb.


While I appreciate that you probably can't have links to the people within your widget, and all of that info is reliant on somebody having entered that information into the database in the first place, I do personally think it would be good to include a bit more info as an option. Just my opinion, interested to hear anyone else's thoughts though.

Thanks @Lee - this has all been noted, especially if it means you will replace your existing widgets 😊
