Listen, Stanford.. So.. The body count on Nikita so far is real high. If Birkhoff is going to that big game of WoW in the sky, can I get some warning or some shit? I don't think I've ever had to watch you die before, except in that one thing but it was sort of funny. And I mean, there was X3, but Bobby carried Pyro off the battlefield in the ( Read more... )

So, being the sad little fangirl that I am (and TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM, yo), I've never thought so hard about joining Twitter as I have in the last two or three months. And considering I really don't get Twitter, that means more than it sounds like. All so that I could stalk gently prod Shane into possibly maybe kind of harassing gently prodding Stanford into joining up. I mean, Shane frequently tweets that they're hanging out somewhere or other and the rest of the cast is already on Twitter, so why not? I imagine that there would be many rambling, drunken, and yet still erudite tweets to be had. That, and I'd like to see who could be more random and smartass, Stanford or Devon Sawa.

But yeah. Every time I see that promo my heart clenches and stops working for a second or two because I have the touch of death with TV characters I like it just seems like they're setting him up to bite it, you know? The little -wibble- look after being called a coward, plus the earlier spoiler that said he's going to ditch Division in the finale anyway, kind of makes me wonder if the plan's for him to go out an unlikely hero. I already had to see Topher get killed off a while back; I don't need to see his cranky little cousin get knocked off, too.

Oh god, Stanford does not need twitter. I don't think he could handle the appallingly lackadaisical application of grammar.

He would start diagramming sentences and quoting Tolstoy or something equally as douchey.

Or not. He's nice; I've heard stories. I just get great amusement in pretending that everyone with a non-standard vocabulary is an asshole because I'm disturbed.

I fear the death of my bb Birkhoff. No, tiny Birkhoff, with your Steve Jobs knock off New Balance, do not die! Cling tightly unto that bright light, or whatever! Help Nikita and save yourself, kid!

If only they'd pick the show up for a second season..

I get the feeling that the only people he would follow on Twitter would be current and past cast mates and directors and such, a shitload of authors, a few hipster darling bands no one's ever heard of, and possibly a Lord of the Rings fansite.

I also imagine that he'd be mortified by the rampant abuse of smileys and assorted emoticons and abbreviations. Maybe we don't give the poor guy credit by reducing him to some kind of Luddite, but for some reason I keep hearing my thesis advisor's voice in my head: "Every time someone sends me an email and there is a smiley face and/or 'lol' anywhere in the text, my will to live decreases a little more."

...unless he'd do that shit constantly just to drive his folks crazy, in which case, shine on, you crazy diamond.

There's another (shorter) promo out where Nikita's diving through a laundry or garbage chute of some sort, and in the very beginning, there's a second or two of Michael and Birkhoff in Operations, watching a monitor and apparently upset about something just when Nikita gets into trouble, so I'm guessing by that point the nerd's already sprung his homeboy from the clink. I hope that's all the heroics they're going for, because with such awesome fighting skills as kicking people in the crotch, I fear our favorite Night Elf would not last long.

Seriously, wtf is taking so long with the announcement? I mean, I get that they don't want to kick Hellcats while it's down because that show's pretty much toast, but...hello?
