icepixieOof. I can't believe I even watched an hour of that horrid The Cutting Edge sequel/remake that was on tonight. If they'd had D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly back to play Doug and Kate, it might have been worthwhile, but that was just...ick. Not that I was expecting anything good to come of that thing, but...yeah. Ow.
In better news, I got ahold of the first episode of the Casanova miniseries David Tennant (who is really very, very pretty) was in last year. "Hilarious" does not begin to cover it, I don't think. The opening absolutely hooked me, and then it went on from there. I cracked up so hard at DT's delivery of "This is beginning to scare me" directly to the camera when his third completely off-the-wall venture--from lawyer to doctor to astrologer--worked. Yay for breaking the fourth wall. Can't wait until PBS airs this at some point this year.
I kept thinking that Casanova's mother (played by Dervla Kirwan) looked awfully familiar, but couldn't imagine why. Then, for no apparent reason besides not wanting to face my research, I decided to see if there was any new Ballykissangel fanfic, and, through a long chain of events that involved me looking up an episode guide to try and remember what event a writer was referencing, I finally realized that she'd played Assumpta the pub-owner. Hee! Ballyk is, like Cupid was until last fall, one of those shows I've never actually seen, but which I've read and heard all about and still occasionally read fic for. ('Cause I'm a great big dork like that, you know.) Hey, it's basically Northern Exposure in Ireland, and there's the added bonus of defrocking of a priest. I'm in. Although that ending to season three is the stuff of nightmares, man. Talk about smooshing puppies, and I've never even seen it. It's times like this when I wish I had BBCAmerica.
...Ooooh, Netflix has DVDs. Say, flatmates, you wanna go in for a month of Netflix with me around the middle of April? It could be fun, particularly during senior week...
I'm beginning to realize that the BBC's usual stable of actors is apparently even smaller than that of whatever union includes all of those Canadian actors who regularly show up in sci-fi shows (Lisa Ryder, I'm looking at you). Aw. The chick who plays Henriette was also Kate the blacksmith in A Knight's Tale. Which isn't BBC, but is vaguely related to this topic. And now I'm just rambling, so I'm gonna go off and maybe do something useful, or at least something that doesn't involve me blathering away like this...
