I don't want to say that it bothers me, but I've definitely noticed this. I guess it's a way to show just how dynamic that era was? For now, I just go with it. But yeah, didn't I read somewhere that he's about to meet some new celebrities? I read an interesting article about the various compromises the show made between realism and entertainment. Some of the things they did in the name of entertainment include: letting William have big white collars, good teeth, and more than 3 suits! They admit their Victorian era is a little more glossy than the real one. Source: www.torontosun.com/entertainment/columnists/bill_harris/2009/03/03/8599956-sun.htmlI think they made the right choice. I like MM for its style. I can get "realism" on American TV. As a student of history I like to see some historical accuracy, but since I'm watching TV for entertainment, I'm glad what they ultimately asked was "would this be fun for the audience?" As a history teacher, I would agree about the historical balance. I hate it when shows take too much liberty, but I understand a bit of dramatic license is important as well. The show hits the right balance, IMO. |

The photo in that article cracks me up. It's like Yannick's riffing on Bond in an over the top cheesy way. It's awesome! I love it, too! I wish he'd do more of that stuff. I'm so shallow! I prefer Pre-Raphaelite art over a lot of the more intellectually challenging moderns of the era, too. Bad me. |
