You know, I still love most the metaphor(being a Wirefiend who loved "I got the gun. You got the briefcase.") that maybe going straight is the toughest racket of all. And Fiance guy is not a con artist yet...he's the possibly retarded apprentice of one. Which also reminds me of The Wire, sort of. Because there was a time that Carver had a wire up on somebody and said "This guy is so dumb if he were one of ours, he'd be a colonel." EI's strong personality has kept me from noticing he's short.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Experimental TV: Cable Drama
This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will be closed on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will engage in creative discourse about the future direction of our boards. This is the thread for cable aired drama. All discussion must be in whitefont, with the name of the show upfront, for 24 hours after the show airs, presumably in the US. No future spoilers in thread (take those to the spoiler thread for serious ones or spoilers light for casting type info).

(as when, a week ago, he told Didi about watching her dance in the moonlight and knowing he wanted to marry her all those long years ago when she was nine, maybe ten -- bent and unbearable and glimmering and poetic all at once),
See !! This is the part I missed last week! You came through, JZ, just a little on the delayed side! hee!
Izzard is teensy. That's the first thing I noticed about him on the show. Also, the actor who plays Cael. Little and tiny.
I love, love, love Didi and want to take her out for coffee and dark conversation and fussy cool-aunt demi-mothering
YES! Although I think she's probably a lot wiser than I'll ever be.

5'10" and EI is 5'7" as is Noel Fisher (Cael) according to IMDB. Noel Fisher is also 25.

OMG!!! Last week, with Dahlia singing "Jesus loves me, this I know," to Didi in the jail cell? HMOG, Minnie has an absolutely incredible voice.

EI is 5'7"
Yikes, that's my height. And he usually has an advantage because of the heels.
Never think of myself as tiny. Maybe by Hollywood standards, I'm not.

Oh that's his height "according to IMDB". So it's possible that he's two or three inches shorter than that.
ETA for example, Dominic West, an actor I've seen in real life is nowhere near 6' as his IMDB profile claims. He's maybe 5'8". Ginormous head to body ratio though. And, still hot as blazes.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Hec groused a bit about how utterly stupid so many of the clan are, and how can they make a living as con artists if they're so damn dumb?
I took that as trying to make a point about inbreeding.
