Toss up between Apollo/Midnighter and James Howlett/Hercules in Xtreme X-Men. I think yours is better, I guess (even if this one isn’t darned nice).

Jamie Parker is a good casting choice. He has enough Daniel Radcliffe about him to appease people who want it to be like the movies, but he’s also a really good stage actor in his own right. He had an understated role in the History Boys that I liked.

*Adani, to assist in searching.

I’m totally up for Cleverman. Sometimes Australia does TV right. This is going to be one of those times.

As an aside, 孔克南 isn’t a bad name. And it has the extra bit that it sounds kind of like 可男 and 可难 (same spelling, but with different tones), which mean “can be a man” and “can be difficult” respectively.

How about 李莉莉 Li Lili?

I took that as part of the character. Marius is insipid, whiny, and thoroughly without a mind of his own, which makes him perfect for Cosette. They’re a great example of the ‘innamorati’ stock character for me, so I expect whoever’s playing them to be thin and reedy.

(as in it’s good...)

His singing voice.

I’m looking forward to the whizz-popping. I’m hoping they won’t cut it on grounds of decency. That would be a shame, and miss half the point of Dahl’s writing.

I thought that Midnighter *really* worked. I might be biased though. I’m cut that he’s being cut. I want my badass power-bottom showrunner!

It’s been a long time since we could buy a phone (prepaid or otherwise) without ID. Even though Australia is generally way against national ID (I personally don’t care, having lived in several places with them), to get a pre-paid phone, I have to take 100 points of ID (typically something like driver’s…

If you’re accidentally duplicated, then have to hunt down and kill your duplicate to maintain your sense of self, is it suicide, murder, a mercy killing, self harm, or responsible autonomous preservation?

I’m not sure how they plan to enforce this ban. Sure, there’s no wi-fi, that’s a choice of the owner/manager, and it’s fine. But if someone comes in talking quietly on their phone or quietly using their connection to browse, they’re going to politely ask them to put it away? Have a big sign that says “Please don’t use…

For the anthropo-linguistically inclined (though it’s only sort of linguistic), there’s also How to Kill a Dragon, by Calvert Watkins. It’s a bit bigger scale than fairy tales (closer to epic poetry), but might still interest people.

I’m from a (non-American) city where it’s a bit topic of discussion in a city election. We don’t have any other public transport except buses, and it’s desperately needed. But we also have a wide avenue where it’s planned and it can run straight down the middle without taking up a lane. We need it as the first step…

As a (male) reader of gay romance, this sounds like the lower echelons of what gets published (typically written by women who change the pronouns at the last minute).
