This is a fantastic series. Funny, serious, thoughtful, twisty, sweet, ribald, open-minded, sarcastic, charming, and just so much fun. As soon as I start watching the first episode again, I keep having binge-watching marathons to the very end because it is so addictive. I hope the series truly didn't end, I am ever hopeful. At least it didn't end in a cliffhanger or really lousy. I truly love this show. The acting, the writing, the special effects...everything was truly excellent!

Campy, funny film that is doesn't take itself seriously. But it is heartwarming, full of lovely interplay between characters, and great performances from so many great actors. Its original plot and lighthearted storyline keeps you entertained and makes you care about the characters. Every so often, I have to watch it again, because it is so worth the the tear in your eye and the tugging of your heart.

Not only funny, but brilliant. It is also a slice into the life of fandom of: science fiction, fantasy, war gamers, D&D, Doctor Who, costume wearers, science geeks, teachers, writers, filkers, and the running of conventions. And you get to throw in a murder mystery, a hilarious set of characters that blend wonderfully well and it becomes my favorite comfort food novel of all time. I have to read it at least a couple times a year, and I hear it is a great resource for first-timers to these conventions. The behind-the-story of this story is just as fascinating, too. One time, I had just moved and all my copies were still buried in boxes. I had missed reading my favorite book. I was going to a sci-fi writers convention with a HUGE book dealers room. There was not one copy of this book anywhere in this room. I was heartbroken. I went down to the local gift store to get a drink and a snack. There, among the latest fashion magazines, was a copy! I was so overjoyed! A little puzzled, for the book had been out for over a decade, but I tried not to dance and bump into the postcard rack. I was so glad so glad to get my "BotDS" fix. This is a special book and I hope every genre fan picks up a copy (or downloads it) and devours it as I do. And read the up-to-date introduction by the author for the story behind the story. It is just as interesting.

The best movie ever! I never get tired of watching it. All the actors are brilliant and talented. I always laugh, sing and cry. I even sing some of the verses, and I don't even know the language. I waited so many years for it to come out on DVD with subtitles, and when it did, it was defective. I was so heartbroken. I called, not expecting any results, just wanting someone to know my despair, and the head honcho of the whole movie answered the phone. He right away sent another copy to me personally. I don't know if he ever received the defective copy I sent him. But I received so many hours of pleasure. And now it is on Netflix, where I can watch it wherever I go, just make sure you bring some tissues and ignore the looks you receive. Believe me, this is a movie worth viewing at least once...and probably again at least once every year!

This is a fairly brilliant movie. All about a cryptography decoding department, but it is also a love story. You may think it is boring, but this movie keeps it interesting, with wonderful chemistry of the actors, Dirk Bogarde, Susannah York, John Gielgud, Lilli Palmer, Nigel Davenport, and Donald Sutherland. I never get tired of watching it, even if it is a bit dated and it not the most cohesive of movies. But it is fun, it has some exciting moments, some great fashions, and a lot of charm from the actors.
