K9 - How?!?! Why?!?!

Prose stories in the main, I think.

I am not done with K9 yet!

I watched the extra material as well!

Thereā€™s a 2-minute interview with K9, and itā€™s even worse than the show. K9 isnā€™t voiced by Leeson and sounds like a British aristocrat; he drinks cocktails and threatens to give the interviewer (a blonde girl) a spanking; and they do a terrible DW knock knock joke and answer a question about K9 being together with an iPod. I think itā€™s supposed to be a skit, but itā€™s not remotely funny.

Thereā€™s also a behind the scenes doc, at 24 minutes! Hosted by the same blonde girl (Pip Russell, apparently). She interviews the actors and animators and we get some insight into how the show was made. Itā€™s a very basic making of, but at least it shows us that the actors seem to be very decent people IRL. Itā€™s weird to hear Gryffen talk with his native Canadian accent.

The best part of this was definitely the interview with Bob Baker.

The guy playing Thorne usually plays good guys and he was delighted about playing a villain for this show.

Ironically, they found working with the puppet K9 challenging. Itā€™s the eternal curse of K9!

Now HOLD ON!

I donā€™t think this extra material is on my DVD edition (the two part one with a blue cover and a red cover).

Itā€™s on the Complete Series DVD release from 2013, which was released in Region 1 (US).

I have actually been watching K9! I just donā€™t post on this thread or write reviews because it wonā€™t be pretty lol.

Aeolian was the last episode I watched : Discount Hermione spent the whole time underneath some ceiling, and is it bad that I was hoping she wouldnā€™t make it, after her terrible singing? :sweat_smile: then we got the most cringe-worthy scene of the whole show so far when Gooseberry (Darius) almost confessed his love for her as she was talking about Starkey the whole time, my goodness it was so predictable and such unnatural writing and acting, especially when he said the name of his girlfriend is French. Itā€™s bad guys.

Episode 8 - Jaws of Orthrus

Again, not a bad episode apart from the fact they keep forgetting to have a first act. This show really would serve well from just an extra 5 mins at the top of each episode. I liked The Professor in this again, and I think Drake and Dariusā€™ interactions were pretty fun. The more I watch the more Iā€™m starting to like those threeā€¦ and it kind of makes me wish for a series without Jorjie and Starkey.

Thereā€™s a couple plot beats that just donā€™t quite work for me, overall though, yeah, this was pretty fun.

A low 5/10

Episode 9 - Dream Eaters

Another pretty solid episode. I think what they did with the camera work and colours being different in the dream and reality was really fun. The costuming was great here. Honestly they seem to do really well with these more horror/spooky focused episodes because Iā€™ve liked all of those theyā€™ve done so far.

Bit of a missed opportunity with Dariusā€™ nightmare being clowns and not expanding more on the fear of small spaces they established before but meh. The tinfoil hats thing was pretty funny and I quite liked the conclusion.

Overall pretty alright.
