sumi, don't feel bad. When I saw her, I thought "that's Linda Hamilton", even though I knew that couldn't be right.

Hee.

(Now we know how she got the SCC role!)

Also: GoT dvds are going to have the auditions - they say that Momoa's audition is particularly entertaining.

could they TRY to get some details right? There's no Boston Avenue in DC. We name after states, not cities. We don't call it a freeway.

sorry, it's a pet peeve, it's my city. I'm sure that other people have the same pet peeve about their city.

I have pet peeves about how Florida is portrayed. I stopped watching Warehouse 13 after an episode centered around something that is completely impossible in Florida.

I loved this episode! Jane Espenson did a great job. There was more humor, which I definitely missed from the first couple of episodes.

Me too, especially with Miami/South Florida-- one of my primary issues with CSI Miami (aside from the generally wooden performances) was that their one aerial shot of the cars traveling to or from a crime scene were all of the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which leads to/away from the beach. One would think there was only one way in and out of Miami. The Glades cracks me up because while they've made up a fictional small town that's supposed to be somewhere in Palm Beach County, they wreak a little bit of havoc with geography in terms of how much time it takes to get places. Burn Notice does the same (and they make up street names, too) but I give them both passes because they film locally and in the case of the Glades, at least, it's a local boy who created/writes the show, so I at least know it's a willful fictional choice rather than deliberate ignorance.

The Killing is the one that made me absolutely NUTS though, with their depiction of Seattle weather. Just doesn't thunderstorm around here, people. Certainly not every time it rains. Nor is the rain of the heavy deluge variety, as a general rule.

I'm thinking they wanted the dark, rainy atmosphere for that show because of the type of noirish story they were doing and chose Seattle because they heard it rains there and didn't worry about the specifics.

I remember and episode of Criminal Minds set in Providence and they had to go to 1st street, and I just had to laugh, because Providence is not a grid city and doesn't have street names that are numbered. And all the Leverage and Fringe people have already heard my rants about how they get things in Massachusetts wrong.

Yep. That pretty much would seem to sum it up, wouldn't it? The thing that made me the craziest, I think, outside of the thunderstorms, is how they'd go from a wide pan shot of the skyline (all clearly taken on the same day) that was very typically fall/winter Seattle: slightly overcast and cloudy, maybe there's a drizzle, but you can't tell because it's so light and then the next closeup shot, which was presumably moments later, it would be dark and stormy in an Bulwer-Lytton sort of way. ::head desk::

I try to be somewhat open-minded because God knows, writers of all stripes often take a huge amounts of creative license, but there's creative license and then there's just flat-out WRONG. (Which is why I keep pestering my NOLA peeps...)
