Title: Nathan Forbes "distracting" pants
Post by: Taeylor Collins on February 23, 2007, 04:49:06 AM: I finally got to watch 1795 for the first time. I completed it in two weeks and it was very good. Me and my grandmother watched together. She had watched the show in the sixties and remembered little. However, she said what I was thinking. She was like, "that mans pants are very vulgar" and I was setting there thinking the same thing. LOL This isn't to bash the actor or anything...but I don't know what the wardrobe department was thinking. They were not flattering at all. I was distracted for the duration of the flashback anytime he would come on the scene. Did anyone find this anoying or werid? It seems like in such conservative times this wouldn't have been allowed. I hope this was okay to post about.

Hmmm...

Also, the good Lieutenant's pants have even been featured as one of the forum's floaties:

However, if your grandmother thinks Nathan's pants "are very vulgar," just wait until she gets to the 1841PT storyline! The men's costumes in that storyline make Nathan's uniform look like he was wearing a loose sack. [lghy]

Then you have something to really look forward to once you get to 1841PT. :D

Post by: Gothick on February 23, 2007, 04:39:01 PM: I, personally, thought that the original "Bad Lieutenant's" trousers were a most refined showcase for his glorious body, including his truly luscious Manhood. *sigh*

I have to admit I am tee-heeing over the thought of the nice old lady scowling and muttering "That man's pants are VULGAR."

And the 1840 storyline in which John Karlen as Desmond is wearing similar tight pants, sighhhhhhhh......

He was . . . under the pants. [a2a3]

However, "loose sacks" are the things least on view in 1841PT. :D

I found it distracting but not annoying! I rather enjoyed looking at Nathan Forbes' outfit but later even his pants didn't help his personality. I was ok with how his "future" ended up. It was risque for the times but not today.

One never knows. ;) Though it has already appeared twice: once on the anniversary of the showing of Ep #449 and also in "honor" of Veterans Day - so it's unlikely that it will return soon...

Saving it to mark the Battle of the Bulge in December/January? ;D

AAAAAAA!!!!!! The Battle of the Bulge line too! I'd have to recheck, but wasn't it you with Victoria making like a racehorse in the Great Hall? Great humor ought to be a little alarming, I think, so good going, there.

In my darkest of nightmares the dread disembodied yellow pants float past. Come hither and click on me, they say, via whatever orifice they've creatively learned to talk through, and become so accursed as to be unredeemable. Rack up an alarming number of screw you points, or so I thought of them until I was told curses are good, though they caused a certain amount of trouble for people on DS. I'm almost certain that Barnabas mentioned that he was not enjoying his very much, on more than one occasion.

But I digress.

curses are good, though they caused a certain amount of trouble for people on DS

The rationale behind why curses are good here on the forum in their karmic sense was derived from the results of a few polls that were done just prior to the big "Karmic Change" announcement that was made on the Testing board:

Quote from: Mysterious Benefactor on July 13, 2003, 04:55:04 AM
...

As the Good vs. Evil polls have shown, it's more fun to enjoy a DS character when they're evil than it is when they're 100% human - while they're exhibiting their "goodness" as it were. And, in the case of the Barnabas poll, it's far more fun to be cursed than to be cured. And with that in mind, you'll notice that everyone's karma totals have been switched - what were once your cures are now your curses and what were once your curses are now your cures. From this moment on, curses will be what you'll most want to receive...

Trust me, it all makes absolutely perfect sense - in a twisted DS sort of way. [wink2] And what other way is there to go by? Absolutely none for a DS fan! :D
