I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Maybe it will take a few episodes, GloomCookie before I don't feel like I'm watching Flashdance Girl...curate(?) But age has done nice things to her face. Also, I shouldn't compare anybody to Allison Janney. The other actress just looks bad. But it is not her fault.

Ann, that's a ferret.

So, so wrong. But hilariously wrong.

And coming this fall to A&E.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

In my very steamy dreams!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Which one? Tina (Justine from Angel)? She bugs the shit out of me.

I think I'm on board with the new Octavian. Still love the boy Octavian, but this one'll do. Poor Vorenus. He'd better sleep with one eye open.

No, I mean any actress I watch after watching Allison Janney as CJ Cregg, although it's true if you're talking about Bette's wife, hippie earth mothers everywhere are all "Yeah, she's sweet, but kind of out there.' In addition, you can always tell she's smoldering away about something she's too "nice" to come out and say. It bugs me when people do that.ETA: Oh, no, you were talking about the one with the male fiance. Although it was a good joke when he said "Kiss and make up with her...whatever you women do."

Hey! How did I not know that Mere Smith was writing for Rome?

This ep sold me on the new Octavian. Although I think Max Pirkis could have handled the role.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I know! I was surprised to see her name but not surprised at the quality of the episode. Lots of good stuff there.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Another Rome writer: the real-life person who posted as "Hazel Shade" and "Hulga Hopewell" on TT. If you remember this poster, then, well, you remember some crazy flame wars and the endless repetitions of "how long blues by jimmy yancey".

oh, man, "Hulga Hopewell" sounds familiar but I don't remember! either she posted in threads I was never in or that part of my memory is being used for something else now.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Seriously? Awesome!
