Given that, that scene, is going to be in it. I really think we're focusing on the wrong casting, less Shadow more Bilquis. But seriously Fuller's comments about making it more "anthological" and digging into the backstory of some of the more periphery characters give me a lot of hope for this. There is so much scope…

Not to mention you could probably just extend into the entire Bas Lag mythology/world and if you somehow got Mieville on board for doing it, even build more.

I never want to see Perdido Street Station on screen. I mean honestly, it's one of my favourite fantasy novels and i'd feel compelled to watch it. But i know for certain my arachnophobia couldn't survive The Weaver.

Bryan Fuller sounded worryingly excited about that scene, also after everything we've seen with Hannibal the possibilities for that one are now infinite and frightening.

Who are we to doubt the veracity of the only man to have ever talked to a ten year old naval officer.

I really want to believe him when he says he made it selling leather jackets, that man making millions selling leather jackets would probably render the very notion of being a good businessman obsolete.

I don't think it's really you're interchangeable as a person, more the experience in that moment is. The notion that human experience is somehow repetitive and that the more often you repeat experiences the less likely you are to find anything singular or unique in those them isn't an insult, it's an articulation of…

But disappointingly lacking in pain.

Great, now i'm going to be disappointed when whoever covers it doesn't have Bez from the Happy Mondays show up and dance for no particular reason with Maracas

I'll take it over twee Slayer, twee Slayer would be really bad.

Blood, blood. Crimson, copper-smelling blood. His blood. Blood, blood, blood. And bits of sick.

Which is actually quite offensive to those of us familiar with the "Reverse Nielsen" as a sexual position

I was about to say Patrick Stewart, a Land Ho style film about two older people trying to reclaim their youth etc starring him and McKellen would be something i'd watch no questions asked

Can you repeat the question?

You miss one slash lunch and you get an appetite for destruction

I still appreciate their use of Radiohead at the end of Season one though, it's the rare instance of music on a CW show that didn't feel like it was ticking a demographic box and actually added something

I did not realise that was a thing, but i want to be the lawyer for that case just so i can adopt a bad southern accent and argue the defence of "Well, now look here, no one is saying it ain't plagarism, but what it is, is some mighty fine plagiarism" Followed by a glowing review of Excavation. It being a damm good…

Are we having fun yet?

I wasn't initially, i googled it out of curiosity a few years back and it's stuck with me as a total odity. But no, i don't think most people know it's origins.

We're a baffling nation when it comes to anthems, we've basically adopted Swing Low Sweet Chariot as an unofficial anthem for sporting events that matter(Read, Rugby) and i have no real idea why or how.
