I remember disliking the casting of Antonio Banderas for Armand, but I don't remember who I wanted in that role. I had such strong opinions on it at the time.

Just finished rewatching LFN, the series, through the season four finale. I actually still like the twist. What was the view of fandom at the time? I gather it was outraged.

Coat pocket? Where is the last place you know you used it? Ok, you called in for a replacement...I just know it drives me nuts when I can't figure out something like that.

Is that the twist about the family relationship? I seem to recall a lot of vitriol on that topic, much of it from me.

Aha. Right. When Walking Dead actors appear on other shows, and do stuff like stand near a closed door, it makes me want to yell at them to find better cover.

My sister got mad at a Dexter plot turn, so she's cheating on them with Walking Dead based entirely on an article on a S2 actor that I sent her.

She crazy.

I am going to wf this, but if it is not a spoiler, I don't want the convo in wf.

The twist is that Nikita was working as an inside source since s.2 for Mick/Mr. Jones. She evaluates the whole crew in the season/previously series finale.

I still have strong opinions, which I admit is a bit silly. Antonio Banderas did a fine job, I'm just going to be perpetually cranky that movie!Armand is not the same as book!Armand. I wanted petulant, disdainful, perpetually-teenaged Armand.

Right! I blocked that because it wasn't as annoying as the one last "twist" but it wasn't fun either. I like a good retcon that doesn't weaken anything that preceded it. Like, you should get at least more out of rewatching, definitely not much less.

And I think that choice took the heart out of Nikita and didn't replace it with anything fun or satisfying.

Then again, I just came here from writing an anon summation of why TVD and I shall never even hatefuck. I need to roll around in Community for a while. So much less dissent there.

I have not been to Gawker in a while, but for some reason clicked on this which is clearly all the proof Denton needs to support his last format change.

Worked BRILLIANTLY.

I really wish my sleep doctor had refilled my script...::sigh::

Right! I think maybe I thought they should've saved Banderas for Marius. Leo might have been about right for Armand at the time. It's been so long since I've visited the books or the movie my memory is fuzzy.

ita,

that hidden camera shit is just too fucking much. I would still be fucking screaming after that. and I wouldn't be able to sleep right for MONTHS.
