I just had a Willow "Oh. OH!" moment when reading the gay comment.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What is even happening?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've seen me depressed, I would hate to see it on tv.
There was that one season of Buffy....
So, non-disabled actors playing disabled characters -- there's House and Carrie Weaver, and I'm never sure about deaf characters not played by Marlee Matlin....Go Robert David Hall, at any rate.
OH! And the cold front finally made it here!! YAYAYAY!
And one last thing -- my aunt's mother was supposed to be on the local news here tonight, but was not! Is there any chance I'll remember to watch again next week? I'm afraid not.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Las Vegas has a random guy in a wheelchair, he gets like a line per ep.
He's probably a ridiculously talented actor, I'd bet.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Raymond Burr played Ironside. Patty Duke played Helen Keller.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Though, to be fair, it's impossible to imagine anyone with Keller's actual conditions playing her, the role is so physical, so fully choreographed, and so intertwined with Annie Sullivan's. If the two actors don't have all their faculties and the ability to constantly read one another's signals, it'd be a bloodbath of black eyes, concussions and bloody noses before the end of the fourth rehearsal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
To make dill pickles?

From Teppy's link, I think my favorite is Zack, the Keebler cookie foreman:
Zack enjoys his tunes, and They Might Be Giants is his favorite band. The thing he likes most about being an elf is, "They let you sit up front at concerts."
Man, I'm glad *someone* checked out the elf bios! They're hilarious!
Worst pain: my back, in the 4-6 weeks prior to surgery. But all y'all got to hear all the details as it was happening, so I really don't need to elaborate further.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
No reason the receptionist who makes with flirtatious banter couldn't be in a wheelchair, or whatever.
No reason she couldn't be fat or just funny looking either, but nearly as rarely is.
I think American casting tends to favor the perfect in general. I watch Britcoms and think "huh, these people look so normal ."
