baffling mysteries

1. why is wax suddenly downloading medical investigation again?

2. why isn't the fry/laurie jeeves & wooster more popular?

3. why is peter wingfield NEVER just dressed in a t-shirt on screen? i remember big t-shirts being fairly standard dress in the 90's.

4. why do the producers of all the csis constantly put beautiful women in quantities of makeup great enough to actually interfere with their attractiveness?

eta: why are even (especially?) people of excellent good taste occasionally prey to the charms of purple prose? sea-glass eyes? i'm terrified i'm actually going to use that now.

I loved Jeeves and Wooster, but towards the end they started with cringe-inducing stuff like drag!Jeeves or the bit where they leap off the ship, then turn up at the flat in jungle tatters. No. No. No no no. I could stand the changes being non-canon, but as a rule they weren't very funny.

I will note that the series sets have never gone out of print (or whatever one calls tapes-n-disks) in the US and the UK, which is no small feat.

WHAT? omg, a world of know. i shudder to think of seeing it.

even though i was totally going to write a shipwrecked jeeves & wooster slash story myself.

i didn't know that they'd never been out of whatever, either. i just. i mean, i've only seen them in the bbc and public television catalogs. not even on tv, or in the public library. :sigh:

Oh, write it! It will take the cringe away.

You can see an icon of drag!Jeeves here. If you dare.

the internationally tall stephen fry sort of hovers on that line all the time.

It's the homonym agenda, forcing itself on us again.
