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 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.

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.

Actually, I think Banderas played Armand like someone who had actually read the damn books -- he had the insane stillness/otherworldliness down.

I just got carded buying Draino. What's up with that?

I could only check in occasionally while on the road -- relatives are SO not understanding about my need to stay online instead of spending time with them, plus bizarre cable modem problems, plus spending major time out on the island where there is No Electricity PLUS my phone has Gone Dead. Oy gevalt.

Consuela, I think this first week is going to be the hardest. Was reflecting this long weekend on even though we had quite the projects to work on, somebody had it way way worse.

My thought is that get as much out of the old apartment as to make it unlivable -- turn off the gas if you can, remove all the beds. My mom's place is now sans a lot of furniture and essentials like shampoo, but all the kitchen implements are still there... which I suppose I should be glad for, because it made staying there a little easier when there's no chance of day trips.

That hidden camera thing was going around fb last night. I would kill the people responsible, or possibly attack the little girl.
