there are Princess Bride references? my love for this show just shot up a whole level

i second the Benton Fraser nomination…

My personal opinion however is that you should always see the play first , then read it, because the interpretation enhances your understanding. Or you can read it, see it and then read it…

yep, it's definitely about South Sudan not Darfur.

If you want a hint of his range, check out Whitmore in "Kiss Me, Kate." He's the shorter gangster who sings "Brush Up your Shakespeare."

These are words and connotation that I think are gender typed. Warrior is good when it's male attributed;…

So far, I am not convinced we are supposed to dislike Barbara. She's cool and she's right; she might be a tad superficial, but as of episode 3, I like her a helluva lot more than Charles.

Matt_M, when you reference a "fact," please give a citation so we can all check up on it. thx.

that's what I was going to say. That the name choice was because of Taymor and her connection with the Lion King.

The British invasion has been happening for awhile. Hugh Laurie, Tim Roth, Idris Elba; this year it's Jennifer Ehle, Jason Isaacs, Panjabi, Shelley Conn, etc.

Is there an immigration law for immigrants from Britain?

I'm just happy seeing two great british actors from spooks and coupling in big roles.

It's not surprising you are having trouble writing the German phrases since they are pronounced so godawfully.
