misssara11 | Green Wing Series 1 Episode 1 (Reply)

So, for those of you who watched episode one, here's some of my thoughts on it:

The opening credits pretty much layout what to expect for the rest of the series much like the episode itself does. It's a very good introduction.

Speaking of, meet Dr. Caroline Todd, surgeon. From my poking around on the interwebs I have discovered that you either love her or hate her. I adore her. I see a lot of myself in her. Except I think I have MUCH better fashion sense. Get used to her because she's our heroine and yep, that opening scene shows you her luck.

Then we meet Joanna Claw. She wants to be a MILF, she thinks she is a MILF. She's totally not. She's the boss who thinks she's your friend but everyone actually hates. Well, you'll see.

Dr. Angela Hunter and Kim of the human resources staff. Kim's eye patch and the reason for it? That describes her to a tee. But I like her. Angela, oh Angela. This role is not Susan from Coupling, that's for sure. We'll discuss her more in future episodes.

Dear Martin Dear. I never fell in love or even like with him but I did want to take him home and give him a sandwich. He tries. He really does.

BOYCE!!! I adore Boyce. He's just brilliant. And the doer of many a random thing.

Slutty Rachel also of the human resources staff. Her name says it all really. She weighs her breasts to see how much it would cost to send them in the post. This is normal for her. She and Kim get along very well.

Mac. *sigh* Mac. I love Mac. I want a Mac of my own. I've loved Julian Rhind-Tutt since his Keen Eddie days and he's even better here. And yes, he's ALWAYS this charming.

I must admit, I adore the human resources office (except for Joanna). Harriet is every haggard mother in existence. And the others adore her too. She's just lovely. Karen is the person you pick but if anyone else does, you stick up for her. Because she's family and you do that for family.

Dr. Alan Statham- Consultant Radiologist. How many of you took out the letters to see what it spelled? This was the first think I ever saw Mark Heap in. He's just one of the funniest men alive. I can never bring myself to feel bad for him but I like him all the same.

SUE WHITE! She is one of the best characters in television history. She's my icon *points above* Fun fact-She's played by Michelle Gomez. Michelle Gomez is married to Jack Davenport. Now, do you think she's lucky or do you hate her? Me, I'm torn. Because she's so awesome I'd make out with them both. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a Sue White scene that doesn't have something somewhat random in it. I think that's why I love her. That being said, I never want to meet her in real life.

Side thought about Caroline and her predicament: How are there not showers for doctor use in that hospital?

As much as I'm leaning one way shipper wise on this show, Boyce/Statham is the true OTP. Theirs is a true love. Trust me on this.

Guy Secretan- Swiss, sleazy and scarily irresistible. I can't stand him but when he kisses someone, my knees go weak. I can't explain it. Maybe it's because I'm half-Swiss. I don't know.

Oh the bets between Guy and Mac! Their competitive nature rules their relationship. The bets themselves get more bizarre without stepping out of reality like a lot of this show does.

Hmm, a mention of Martin's mum. Could that be important later?

I can't stress enough how lovely I find Boyce. Out of everyone on this show, he is the most loyal of friends. If he's on your side, there's nothing he won't do for you. As you will see.

Sue's squirrel! Which no one but Mac can touch and Mac really doesn't want to.

Joanna and Statham's affair, while very disturbing, is also a bit sweet. I can't explain it. I don't actively want them together but when they are together, they make me smile.

Ah, the fraises blond. I've never heard strawberry blond be called that before but since Mac says it, I find it cute (I'm easy that way).

Caroline vs. Guy's loo. That is something that would so happen to me. And Guy hitting on her. Oh Guy.
