• My God, flist, how could you not tell me they cast Harvey Keitel as Gene Hunt? Harvey Keitel! Gene Hunt! aldkjf;almcieakgd!
I wanted to ignore the US Life on Mars. I wanted to pretend it didn't exist and go about my life in a merry and untroubled fashion. NOW I HAVE TO WATCH IT! Because Harvey Keitel is Gene Hunt. Holy Awesome.
It's like ... somebody actually wants this to work. Weird. Normally you go from Keitel to Colm Meany and not the other way around (no offense to Mr. Meany. Hooray Chief, and stuff, but sorry, pal, you're no Harvey Keitel).
MAN!
• I'm sad about SGA's cancellation. Not, like devastated or anything, but kinda bummed. It was my wacky space vampire show, and for the most part I'll miss it (except for a couple of episodes, about which I refuse to speak further). I wonder if Skiffy kept with their usual pattern and waited until they were filming their 100th ep to tell them. "Great job, guys! 100 eps! Woohoo! You're canceled. Who wants cake?"
• Random conversation in the courtyard at work:
Guy (walking by, me sitting at bench): I'm fed up.
Me: So am I. Why are you fed up?
Guy sits down at bench, hangs head wearily
Guy: I have to know who River Song is.
Me takes several seconds to parse sentence, and then, oh the laughter
• Man, I thought I had more to say, but I guess not. I've spent the last two weeks in a small, dark, cold cave (not a literal cave. Don't want to lead you to think I've been off on a fortnight of wacky spelunking adventure), so I feel a little out of touch and uninteresting.
