Passing Through Gethsemane. He was a monk. And also a serial killer, prior to be being a monk. But not a technomage.

A monk, right. For some reason, I was remembering the monk as a technomage. It's been a few years.

Thank you, startrek.com:

Maquis fighter, engineer and homicidal Betazoid

Wow, I couldn't think of him as a creep now...the doc being the kind of damaged soul that lends my fan's heart to great character love, although with the doc, it's not porn for me. I would like to see him get somebody on TV, though. Although he wouldn't be in Deadwood if not for the grave-robbing convictions so maybe it's not hard to see how that actor got the call.

Hah! So, Troi probably drove him to it. Poor guy.

Huh. That X3 trailer is significantly better than my total lack of hope would have implied. Not that I think it will actually be good, but it might at leats be fun.

I'm sure similar plot points directed by Bryan Singer with a script written sometime before the movie started filming would have turned out BETTER, but at least it doesn't look like they included the rumored pheromone-producing-mutant.

McCabe and Mr. Milch.

I wouldn't say "disregard' because there are still times when Deadwood offends me and "disregard" sounds like there's nothing in the criticism...there are times when I find Deadwood straight-up nasty. But it's also smart and probably never gratuitous...I never get the sense they ever said "We're on cable...we can say that," in the way that some shows do. Just file the criticism and see if you care more about it than the townsfolk. I do get mad at Milch sometimes for getting a second chance when some people haven't gotten a first chance to throw away yet. Ex-druggie cocksucker. Pointillist. Have to try that if my fic gets long again..."Freak! No, I'll have you know I'm a pointilist!"

Ex-druggie cocksucker.

That's talented ex-druggie cocksucker, to you.

Great link, Corwood! You have inspired me. I think I'll revisit Deadwood the next two days, while the BF is off in San Diego covering the new Cadillac launch. He may be staying at the W hotel and getting wined and dined by car execs, but I get to watch Swearingen's blow job monologue again. Frankly, I think I'm getting the better part of the deal.

ita, I saw Ultraviolet last week and thought it was much worse than Underworld: Whatever (and that was "Kate's bum and some other stuff"). I described Ultraviolet in my LJ as trying to read an old copy of Heavy Metal over someone's shoulder on the subway. Yes, it is pretty and has vampire-y stuff and cgi galore, but it is muddled, with razor-thin story and razzie-class dialogue. My buddies and I were reaching to Bo Derek movies as equivalents for the dialogue, and that's where I go for the worst ever.

Pretty to look at, utterly forgettable 5 minutes after you've left the theatre. My two pals who are huge Mila fans had stopped talking about it by the time we reached the pub around the corner.

The Toronto Star guy gave it 3 out of 5, mostly for the pretty. I can't see how he got all the way to three.
