Really, the guy they need here is Josh Brolin. He's like a reincarnation of Nick Nolte; once considered for the role of Dr.Jones (and Han Solo, as it happens).

I disagree. Diggle is special; I just think the format of Arrow currently doesn't allow him to shine. Diggle could be an action hero equal to Oliver. He's as good a warrior (he can hold his own when the two of them spar) but with arguably a greater clarity of vision and moral certainty than that posessed by Oliver.…

Okay, I need to see a Suicide Squad spin off show, with Diggle as the reluctant moral centre of the team. I love his complex, evolving relationship with Deadshot, and he had good, angry chemistry with Waller. More, please.

Shouldn't it be, "Insoluble"?

Chris Foss, a science fiction artist who started a vogue for depictions of vast, baroque space ships on book jackets in the '70s was also attatched to the project for a while. Among other things, he designed spice freighters and pirate space ships as well as the Duke Leto's groundcar, which would have been built on…

"His understated performance is much more in league with the sorts of quiet menace Brian Cox exuded in Manhunter, the original Red Dragon adaptation."

The very best idea juice is the Dead Arm Shiraz. Although some of the Californian idea juice varietals are also palatable, especially if they're poured into a jug and allowed to oxygenate for a while.

Ohh, man; Susan St.James. I'd forgotten how lovely she was.

I don't know about that, but his dad, John (that's English for Sean) Pertwee served with Fleming in intelligence in the second world war before going on to be Dr. Who.

Yeah, Truepenny. Which sounds nothing like Moneypenny at all and so doesn't recall a famous civil servant with a license to kill and consequently doesn't make us think what an enormous wanker Le Strade is.
Also, "Teton"? really? So his pseudonym is Jack St.Tit?
Plus; who makes yorkshire pudding without roast…

Agree with you about the writers wimping out on the whole David thing; it would have been interesting to see them really follow through on him as another symptom of Christy's addictive nature. You'd said earlier that you think she's going to break her sobriety at some point this season and I kind of thought this would…

Anybody else think they recognize the terrifying, red-hooded, blade wielding homunculus from the shock ending of Don't Look Now?

The spiral pattern on the dead girl (and elsewhere) reminded me of Celtic and pagan iconography; what W.B. Yeats would have called a gyre and Knight and Lomas would recognise as Uriel's Machine, used in the mapping of the passage of celestial objects. The fact that the girl is antlered like the horned god (though this…

If you want to see Voyager done right, go watch Battlestar Galactica. Ron Moore had a bunch of ideas for Voyager that were never realised and that eventually found their way on to Battlestar.

Superficially at least, this sounds a lot like Warehouse 13, which also has a strong, ass kicking heroine, as well as a strong, smart, tech savvy heroine, and older, wiser materteral woman who provides counsel and stability. There are a couple of token guys there, too: a grumpy uncle type and a goofy man-child, but…

So; late to this party, but what the hey. Watched the movie on DVD.
How come every French person in this movie speaks English? They should have at least done a "Hunt For Red October" zoom in/zoom out on sombody's mouth (Michelle Pfeiffer's, for me), so that we understand everyone is actually speaking French,…

No kidding? Whereabouts in Cornwall?
I lived in Plymouth for several years, and used to go down to Cornwall pretty regularly. I had a buddy who was into climbing, and he'd drag me along to be terrified on the cliffs at Lands End and some of the other beaches round there. Walked the Saint's Way one year, too; which was…

"Lingering shots of Minka Kelly" and the concept of "bad" never really go together for me. Indeed, a half hour show consisting of just lingering shots of Minka Kelly would be pretty interesting.

Ebola Splash?

…That was so awful it needed to be acknowledged.
