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

Weren't (many of) the Egyptian gods anthropomorphic animals?

You don't only have race in your head.

I think he is going to do an "American" accent.

Fuck that.

I was disappointed in the ending, the reveal on the murderer felt forced.

Some shows make the solving the mystery part of why you're there. Broadchurch felt like you were there for the emotional rollercoaster. Perhaps to jump off it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't even understand the point of casting David Tennant as David Tennant, unless the entire point is to skip the accents.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

For some reason, the American version of Broadchurch has become equated with the American version of Inspector SpaceTime in my head, which does not really increase the chances that I will watch it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and...my name is right there in the middle!

They put the exclamation point on the wrong side. Sloppy.

I WAS PROPHESIED BY ANCIENT EGYPT.

I feel destined right now, you don't even know.

That is actually so cool.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's a Caribbean restaurant opening near me soon called SOME 'TING NICE, and every time I pass it I want to jump out and correct the placement of the apostrophe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I WAS PROPHESIED BY ANCIENT EGYPT.

Ahaha! Awesome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Now I'm thinking of deleting Broadchurch unwatched from my DVR. I guess if I were really interested in it, I'd have watched it by now.

I am definitely not watching this new Torchwood thing. Children of Earth finished it for me.

Headline: "'Fast & Furious' beauty comes out"

Actual quote:

"I don't talk about what I do with my vagina, and they're all intrigued," she says of the media. "I've never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder: What does she do with her vagina? Plus, I play a butchy girl all the time, so they assume I'm a lesbo." When EW points out that that's not a fair assumption, Rodriguez laughs. "Eh, they're not too far off," she says. "I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f—ing curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks."
