Yeah, I agree, Grayson spurting all this technobabble did not feel right. So far he had not come over as the brightest bulb so that was quite a surprise.
I love love love the island episode! Ever since reading Robinson Crusoe as a kid, I have loved cast away stories. Also in Star Trek they are often stranded on a planet and have to live there for some time, without technology. I just love it!
I did like the speech Fogg gave at the end of the Indian episode, to save the soldier. That was a proper theatre speech there!
I guess that flogging took us all by surprise. I can't deny that I hoped for it to happen, but realistically I thought it would be stopped just in time. When they really went through with it... yeah. A lot of fanfiction writers are drawn to it, and we all say, there should have been way more lasting effects. But that's what fanfictions are for! I just made a post about it.
Poor Phileas has quite to suffer in this show, hasn't he? Right in the first episode, he gets shot, and then all that walking through the desert... I read a Russian tweet that when I translated it, basically said "Let's see in which way Phileas has to suffer in this episode" and that was a good summary LOL
For a moment I thought Fogg would stay in New York for her! Only sending Passepartout and Abigail home. But as you said, it has been too long. They both have lived their lives. You cannot change that. Now, Sally the stagecoach driver, on the other hand - I did see some chemistry there!
I am totally and unexpectedly back in David Tennant mood! I checked his IMDB, so many exciting projects coming up. It's a good time to be a fan.
Oh, and by the way the friend who never have seen any other David Tennant before, loved it too! She said he captured her right from the first moment and blew her away with his acting. As I knew he would. I hope she'll re-watch at least some important scenes in English, like when he talked about Estella on the island. That was so moving.
