That podcast was sweet. My wish list isn't much focused on the acting or even usually the directing. It's the writing. It just feels like there's a concerted effort to avoid emotional resonance. I don't think that *had* to be a peculiarity only found in the Lilly Kane case. These actors are really something, and I believe Bell probably is perfect, or as near to it as any other young actor on TV that I can think of. I just feel like they far too often skip over the meat, and not just with V/L, but with all of the characters. I feel like I'm watching a series of vignettes, that could be part of a damned fine serial drama. This past week was the exception, and it felt like my show, again.

I believe Bell probably is perfect, or as near to it as any other young actor on TV that I can think of.
Having also seen her play a combination of scary, manipulative and sociopathic as shit while also being pretty close to dumb as a sack of hammers, at least in terms of knowing what she was up against, on DEADWOOD, I totally agree with you there. She's got SMG's technical chops, but she can project a whole lot warmer (or colder) when she wants to. Caroline D. from WONDERFALLS could give her a run though, I think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That's what I call some nice HSQ.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I jokingly said, "Maybe he'll get killed" as Lamb entered the house. I didn't think it would actually happen though.
What episode number was this?

And wow. Keith is sheriff again.
