I assume Cedric Daniels on The Wire doesn't count? He's generally referred to as Daniels, rank preceding.

no comments about T:tSCC? Derek continues to break me. also? i'm really glad to see Thomas Dekker making me love John Connor again.

Yeah, this was definitely the best John episode so far. He wasn't bad last week, but he was mostly chasing after Cameron, and being a bit obvious about it.

However, I think Olympic hand-waving is always going to be in order with this show - this time over a military school hiring Derek for a temp job off-the-cuff.

Also, still LOVING Shirley Manson. She's not the most polished actress, but she has presence to spare (and that accent - insert Homer Simpson drool noise here).

Also, anybody else think Sarah and Cameron should start a day care?

She also has a tangent book series where the recurring setting is a Canadian Vampire Detective TV show that's like a mash-up of Forever Knight and Angel.

Seconding the Tanya Huff love. The Blood books are my favourite examples of this genre, and I like the Smoke spinoff even more. It cracks my shit up SO MUCH, reading about the goings on behind the scenes in a Vancouver TV production company, with the egos of the Lead Vampire Actor Guy, and the hot sidekick actor guy (who actually can act). Man, I loved the 3rd Smoke book beyond reason - in no small part because, OMG, fandom, yes, we really are like that. And of course there's the books' Big Gay Hero, Tony, whom I adore, and whose crush on Hot Sidekick Actor Guy had me at hello. Oh, those crazy kids. (After I'd wolfed my way through the 3rd Smoke book I found Huff's LJ and was all gushy at her. She was slightly bemused, but very pleasant, and seems lovely.)

Huh. I gave up on Huff years ago because they just weren't doing it for me. But a Canadian Vampire Detective Show setting is like unto crack for me.

ION - there's a Daniels on Kyra Sedgewick's show too. (The Closer.) And wasn't there a Daniels on either Chicago Hope or that Saint Elsewhere? (Wait - was that the name of the actor?)

I really enjoyed my shows last night: SCC AND Chuck AND Heroes AND Life and even - Prison Break. But I thought that SCC more than made up for the lack of Derek last week. And I really liked how they ended with Cameron watching from the woods as Derek and John melt the 888.

BTW, whenever they say "triple 8" it totally sounds like they're saying triple A which is confusing. I wonder if not pronouncing the final t at all is a way to help make a Brit sound more American?

So, so happy that Bryce is back.

Season 4.5: The Untold Story - Untold

Okay, that made me laugh.

Canadian Vampire Detective Show setting is like unto crack for me.

On one hand, of course somebody would HAVE to do this. On the other? YAY!

And it turns out my library has them. I say again, YAY.
