I'm a day behind (we watched part 2 tonight while part 3 was spooling up on the DVR) So far I have to say, this is REALLY fun. I love hating Ian McKellan again. It's been since his Richard III that he's played somebody really despicable. He's so great as a nasty old schemer. And the thing about 2 is, so far he hasn't lied once. When he's manipulating you, he's TELLING you he's manipulating you, but he's set it up so you have no choice but to let yourself be manipulated. Not that there isn't a ton going on that he doesn't talk about--just that what comes out of his mouth seems to always be true.
Caveziel's energy is just sharp. He's tense and taut and dark and edgy. Really great.
So many unanswered questions! It's like LOST in four hours (so far)!
