Ooh, good point! I'd forgotten about Drive, but you're right, he nails it there. (Mostly actors aren't asked to do both in one movie, so it's possible more are capable of it too.)

@avclub-43a2734bf1471829eba4491eeafbc794:disqus I can understand if they couldn't get the original actress back for Daisy, but couldn't they have at least found someone who could do the mannerisms? Daisy was ruthless in her lack of scruples, but she was refined, genteel, and delicate in her actions. The new actress…

As I tweeted during the show: the only other actor who goes between "terrifying" and "wounded puppy" so easily and so thoroughly is Tom Hardy.

GOD NO.

@Scrawler2:disqus Hey, look at that! Well. I'll just go back to sitting quietly in the corner.

You think this is a joke, but: http://www.guardian.co.uk/b…

Unless they're remaking it in modern-day California, a la Clueless, she's still wrong.

Blake Lively? Blake Lively was ever considered for - let alone offered - the role of Elizabeth Bennett? I like her, but goddamn would that be terrible casting.

I was torn between secretly gay or murderer, but he was definitely hiding something. (I'm glad it was secretly gay.)

"Jess'" is also acceptable, though I prefer "Jess's," because honestly, people, consistency.

I live with two other girls also in their 20s, and we all LOVE this show. It might be the only one that all three of us watch.

Oof, for a couple paragraphs there you were basically describing my job and the fears & insecurities that lurk around the edges. My job puts me in a position similar to Richard's in many ways, much as it unnerves me to say that, and that desire to fix it, to make it work, to make it a hit, is often a major driving…

Taking up the bathroom after someone who needs to be somewhere at the same time as you asks you to hurry up is RUDE. There's no way around that. And Sophie's right that Megan could blow-dry her hair in her bedroom whereas Sophie can't brush her teeth there. But Megan is clearly just oblivious in that scene, not…

I agree with all of this, except that I do think he's VERY good-looking. But tall & skinny is my thing.

Oh, yes, Loki the Norse god is definitely fascinating! Trickster characters usually have the best stories. But the obsessive romantic/sexual response to Loki as portrayed in Thor and The Avengers is a little weird.

I think that was the point of that joke.

I don't get the obsession with Loki, but Tom Hiddleston is another story.

@avclub-ad45e11f2e88b8963920c79cd1d8755e:disqus Well, that's fine. Plenty of people do, despite his reputation - you can find some of them in other comments here. His interests happen to match the contours of my brain in a way that defeats most of my attempts at rational criticism. But it doesn't affect my point,…

I desperately want her to guest star on Bunheads. Megan Hilty + Sutton Foster = best thing ever.

Correction: "Smash has never exactly been that great at portraying people."
