he is very pretty. i actually prefer him with his real accent. huh. usually it's the other way around.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

I think the electricity thing would have been awesome to keep. Yummy lighting by candlelight, Harry walking down a hallway and lightbulbs poofing out dramatically. Maybe more of that will come into play later on-- I don't think they've painted themselves into a corner on that matter. . . yet
Well, they've been keeping Harry lower-than-normal tech (WWII-era Jeep, record player, non cell-phone, etc) but he definitely plays better with technology than his book counterpart. I still think Murphy's computer should have fried when they were arguing in her cubicle last episode, though. Close proximity and high emotions should have totally nuked it.
The soul-gazing seems to be a big thing to lose, however.
According to Robert Wolfe, it's something we'll see next season. But in the TV!verse, soul gazes require a conscious effort on the part of the wizard, and Harry only engages in them as a last resort. (shrugs) I can defintely see where having your lead need to constantly avoid eye-contact would be problematic in a TV show, though.
And I thought the character torture in the show was fun!
Yeah, book Harry gets put through the wringer physically and emotionally pretty much every book. Grave Peril, in particular, has a pretty nasty blow for Harry. But one of the things about the TV show that Jim Butcher is really happy about is how often Harry gets the crap kicked out of him, much like his literary counterpart.
Of course, unlike TV!Harry, Book!Harry has tendency to do some damage himself before he goes down. (Though granted, a lot of that damage is of the property kind. My favorite opening line for a book ever is still from Blood Rites. "The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.")

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

NEXT season? We know this already? ::happy dance::

Hell for authors is being locked up for eternity with the characters you've tortured.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Holy shit, a new site just opened up for the Heroes web thing. Maybe they are going full-on A.I. with this.

No official word as of yet. They're wrapping up the first season now and tossing around ideas for season 2, should they get the opportunity. There's a lot of things, with a 12 episode 1st season, they didn't get to do that they wanted to.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No narration by Mohinder to start the show.

Lotsa nice suspense. Lotsa stuff going on. Tough to watch n post when I'm actually focused on the show. Huh.
Also, Isaac sure cleans up nice.
Also, Hiro still adorable.
