This actually is quite exciting for me. I don't know how writer/actors etc manage not to read reviews. How can they hold themselves back? I am way too self-preoccupied not to look, and this time it was okay.

But nevertheless, my overall reaction is a. Phew. And b. Gosh, really not too bad at all...
