I kinda don't want to be that fan, all "Worst.idea. EVAR" about something because it's Not The Garner, but I wish they's picked someone with more presence than Mulroney, like, you know, any other dark-haired actor in the Western world. I mean he's a Stunt boyfriend/fiance in lifetime movies... If I were suddenly a casting director(and able to restrain my purist fangirl from swooning from shock at the thought) I'd give that part to Nick Brendon...Jim's a lot more of a Xander than he wants anyone to know. Dear Mr. Shore: Please resist temptation to be "feminist" and "updated" by making Angel Martin a hot chick. Yes, I know, it's a stripper nickname, but please don't. Love, Me P.S. A female Angel character would be okay as long as she were obnoxious like the original and there's no "Will they or won't they?" subplot. Will they or won't they must die.

NBC really has lost it's way, hasn't it?

They sound like me, cheering myself through reruns. Only I don't consider it working. You know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, that article someone linked to back in the day about Jim Rockford suggestions totally had better ideas. But most of them have gigs.

Dermot--I have fond thoughts about him, but I think it's because he reminds me of someone IRL. I can't imagine him carrying a series.

I don't dislike the guy, but he's sort of Generic Handsome Guy...Jim Rockford is a wiseass. Also, Rockford itself was kind of a copy/update of Maverick. How many copies? Also, I'd have thought since Knight Rider and Bionic Woman tanked, nobody would try that anymore.

Jim Rockford is kinda unthinkable without Garner. I just can't get past that.

That's what I was thinking.

Me either, not really...hence all the conditionals. Nor Angel without Margolin, in all his love-to-hate-him glory. ETA: Besides there was already one "Rockford" homage on TV recently...it was called "Veronica Mars"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least it's not Dylan McDermott, which is who I pictured first.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I cannot stand Dermot Mulroney. Full stop. He cannot stand in the footsteps of Garner.

I think there are actors who can, but Mulroney ain't it.
