Yay for sleep, Erin!
Personally, I enjoyed Gosford Park as a murder mystery, but it most definitely isn't easy to get a handle on.

When I watched Gosford Park I remember thinking, "Who is this again?" I couldn't get a clear read on anyone. And it's even more unmemorable as I'm further away
I haven't watched any of DA, but I have it on the Tivo and I was worried because of the Gosford Park connection people keep making. But everyone raves about it.

It's the same writer for both, Kat. But DA is much more traditional in it's story telling.
I love Gosford Park.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, DO watch, Kat! It's lovely, and I think it's the good things from GP distilled into an engrossing and amusing several hours of TV.
I can't WAIT for Season 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 has redesigned. It's awful, and their testers should be shot.

AAA called, should be here by 2:30? Well, we'll see -- and I'll keep my coat handy, as I'll have to take them back up the street to the parking space....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's kind of amazing how distinct the characters are, given how many of them there are. Possibly because most people look pretty different from one another, and each character can basically be summed up in a phrase.

The post about the new design is FILLED with bitching and complaining comments. So much shit is broken, it's not even funny. And that's not counting what functionality they removed. Thank god the old site is up and running at another URL.
