I wish there wasn't a different cut for US and UK telly. I feel like I might be MISSING OUT by not seeing both. I'm not going to see both, obviously. I might be enjoying the series, but I'm not silly.

Gwen did a really smashing kick at the end of episode two. I feel that should be noted.

Also, via [livejournal.com profile] nonelvis, I've spent too much time today reading this blog which discusses the legal inaccuracies in Miracle Day. Fascinating stuff.

I think all of these things are lovely:

1 - Lara Pulver has been cast as Irene Adler in Sherlock which is Most Awfully Pleasing. I love her. And that is based ENTIRELY on Robin Hood, the rubbish BBC tv series. She was the single really good thing about season three, and I also see she's going to be in the next season of Spooks, so it is a DOUBLE WIN.

2 - I keep being EVER MORE APPALLED at my fangirlishness at Nicolaj Coster-Waldau. I mean look at him being all lovely and enthusiastic and funny and stuff. I also feel like I'm cheating somehow because I care very little about Jaime in the books but I really don't want Bad Things to happen to him on the telly. And not just cause I can actually see how pretty he is. REALLY NOT JUST CAUSE OF THAT. There is a humour and charisma on the screen that is tots lacking in the prose for me. (And it's the other way round for Jon - book!Jon is my favourite dude and on the telly he is just too emoface and ho hum.)

3 - I am now going to talk about Thundercats a TINY BIT. They have rebooted my second most beloved cartoon* and naturally I was HORRIFIED for clearly this was all about Ruining My Childhood even more than those horrid He-man remakes, but no! As it turns out, despite the lack of the Greatest Of All Theme Tunes, it's pretty good. And they seem to have decided their core audience is, in fact, those people with fond childhood memories of a cartoon designed to sell toys.
