YES!

I was beginning to think Wadjda was shut out of the awards entirely. This was heartening, even if I'd suspect Blue Is The Warmest Colour probably has this in the bag.

Yeah, but I'm not sure exactly how much credit JMS deserves for that one.

And his film work is like Changeling and the first Thor movie (and IIRC he was one of a dozen writers on that.)

Hello, whore.

Norwegians, maybe? IIRC it airs on national TV over there. I know some Swedes who find the whole thing hilarious.

Who knows, maybe the tax breaks in those locations are really good. It wouldn't be the first TV show to film in multiple countries - hell, Game of Thrones is in Croatia, Northern Ireland, Iceland and Morocco.

I do really hope this'll be good. Quite besides the Wachkowskis, it's been a long time since JMS's television work has been of note (in a sense, this is the hottest, coolest pairing of 1999!, so you know… yeah.)

Well the TV series is actually planning to film in the locations it's set in, so one hopes they also cast people from there.

German safecracker. Anyone want to bet she'll look like she walked out of a certain Tykwer movie?

True this. But it's planned by a guy whose most notable TV series is well remembered for, among other things, coherently and satisfactorily explaining its mysteries (and in a timely fashion - all the questions raised in the pilot are answered by the season two premiere, some earlier) so if he can remember to do that…

But will this show have Mira Furlan?

Given the previous TV career of Joe Michael Straczynski, that sounds about right.

Ah, A Fool There Was,

Right but that comes back to Birgitte as fantasy. I just think the series gives her enough losses (particularly personally) for this fantasy to work as drama, but it's unashamedly that fantasy.

The first Hank Rearden was Grant Bowler, who is now the star of Syfy's Defiance. To every Readen comes aTV show.

She is a fantasy, but then, so is Frank Underwood. But she does have her defeats and her compromises and her personal costs. Birgitte may win most of the time but not all of the time and some of her victories taste like ash for that reason.

Chief: Damn it blob, you stained the evidence with slime again!

I haven't watched Justified yet, Winston's Latvian past was basically the first thing we knew about him.

I feel like there is a tendency to just write Winston as a series of weird things for Morris to say. They fall back on it a bit too often because it can admittedly work (because Morris' delivery is fantastic) but this, and his lack of screentime, has got in the way of the character.
