This is pretty cool--the Paris Metro is renovating one of its stops, and they broke through a "fake" wall that covered up a section that had last been seen back in 1959. There's a few really neat advertising posters from that time period being revealed.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's creepy familial subtext.
Not least because she doesn't look old enough to be the mother of a child old enough to read that ad. Much less buy an airline ticket.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What I find kind of cool about the ad is that she's got lines underneath her eyes, just like a real person. Amazing! No airbrushing!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oooh, Kathy, that is extremely cool! Those posters are amazing. Love the Marcel Marceau notice: La Compagnie des Mimes, Paris Qui Rit, Paris Qui Pleure

sumi, thanks for the Boomtown link. I've been wanting that series for a while.
Has anyone seen a Brit show called Jonathon Creek? It is also at Amazon and looks intriguing but I'm wary of the sight unseen purchase.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's very British, fairly typical mystery stuff. ASH is in the first episode. The real attraction is Alan Davies as Jonathan Creek, if you like your guys British, slightly pasty, and smart.

Beej, I've watched it a few times on BBC America and liked it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd recommend against buying it sight unseen, Beej. Principle thing.
I liked it well enough, but didn't love it.
