Ooh, that's a good one!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

David Hyde Pierce would make a good Aziraphale.
I could totally see that. On the other hand, to totally cast against type, I'd love to see Kenneth Brannagh play Aziraphale. He'd have to dial the "hello, it is ME, the AWESOME ONE" way back, of course. Way way back. Further . . . further . . . no we can still see it from space. OK, it would be a challenge.
And maybe get the guy who plays Thorin Hottieshield as Crowley? *runs to IMDB* Right, Richard Armitage.

Yeah, I saw a made-up poster with Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston and rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell off.
I've seen multiple versions of that sort of poster, and my reaction every time is NO.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'd love to see Rufus Sewell or Oded Fehr as Crowley, and Simon Russell Beale as Aziriphale.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
How about Pierce Brosnan as Aziraphale? He can do a great "bumbling" when he wants. Maybe a bit too pretty for Aziraphale. I've always pictured Crowley as the prettier of the two. But I don't remember anything in canon that says Aziraphale can't be pretty.

Looking for books for my 11-year-old step-niece. Per her mom, she likes books about overcoming diversity, getting into love stories, friendship stories, and stories with imagination. Nothing violent or scary. Anything with pets or animals (non-fiction) would be good as well.
In the back of my mind, I'm thinking the "All Creatures Great and Small" books. I feel like friends at that age were reading and loving those, but I never read them.
She also likes comics and graphic novels. She has been loving Tintin, but I've now run out of those.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes! I read and reread the James Herriot books at her age. Perfect.
Also, you should really read them. They're awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe some of the Marguerite Henry horse books? Many of them are based on true stories.
