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.
It's got a nice Boy's Own adventure serial feel to it. Cliffhanger every week that reminds me of old Alias. Big plotting that doesn't go quite smoothly, fantastical wheels within wheels.
And Wentworth Miller has plot-dictated shirtlessness.
This is all very nice but my favorite part of the show right now is watching Peter Stormare and Robert Knepper alternately chew scenery.
Was Stormare always using an accent? He sounded very paisan last night. I think I mean paisan. I think that's how it's spelled.
That's way too much thinking for this time of the morning.
Personally, I think it's kind of funny. He's putting forward a reprehensible persona. We get to laugh at it, rather than with it. It's a joke about a racist character, rather than a racist joke. But that's just me.
I must have a shitty sense of humor because I don't get the joke. I just find it reprehensible and gross. And if that's the only persona he's putting out there...well...reprehensible and gross fits.
I mean, he took the critics reaction to The Brown Bunny in stride, and had a good laugh about it, right?
That was the one where he threatened to kill Ebert's dog, wasn't it? Good time, good times.

Unless threatening to kill critic's dogs is more common than I thought, I'm pretty sure that was Mel Gibson, about Frank Rich.

So he doesn't really think that fags and Spics shouldn't be allowed to have their own celebrations in New York like the St. Patrick's Day Parade, he was just joking. Perhaps, if he and I ever meet, we can share a laugh at his brand of humor. Though I've been told my method of laughing resembles curb-stomping to an unfamiliar observer.

That's his Swedish accent. Weird, right?

No, that was who Jessica said. Gallo said that he hoped Ebert got cancer.

Ahhh, right. Got my crazies mixed.
Sounds like a dick.
