Jude Law's ability (and seemingly constant choice) to convey vague artisocratic distate and a desperate need to be liked at the same time in nearly all of his roles fascinates me.

Isn't anyone watching Carnivale? Are Brother Justin and Lodz related -- either by plot or blood? I have a lot of other questions/theories too, but I'm not sure anyone's watching.

Watched the big preview show on Battlestar Galatica, which boiled down to "don't hate us because Starbuck's a girl." Yeah, well. That said, the girl has the same speech cadence as the original Starbuck, and that's funny. Also, while Starbuck was definitely my second grade crush, I also wanted to be Starbuck, so aside from being pissy about them fucking with my favourite Sci-Fi show ever - I be envious. Also, I'm really liking the casting and interpretation of Baltar. So maybe it'll be cool... but I'll be on a bus. Le sigh.

Very stressed, but because I am obscenely resourceful, I'm just sort of gritting my teeth and smiling, because something will solve the problem. It always does.

Today's random observation -- the more you know you can do what is necessary, the harder it can be to make that choice.

Are Brother Justin and Lodz related...?

I hadn't thought of that -- Sampson said something bad happened in the old country, during WWI (at least, going by Ben Hawkins's dreams).

It's all pretty twisted, and I sure hope they start rerunning beginning with episode one, or do a marathon, or release season one on DVD. Yeah!

I really like it -- there is a Carnivale community on LJ, I looked at it, but didn't join.

I'm hopeful (and I'll be having Dad tape it, should you wish to borrow), although it is getting to seem as though they're really reaching to give everyone a personal problem- Tigh's an alcoholic; Apollo and Adama have an East of Eden thing going on- which could go against the almost mythological, questlike nature of the original show; it's almost as if the Arthurian legends were rewritten featuring Glen Cook's Black Company. y

Re: Carnivale . . .

I'm sure that it has something to do with the bear that got into the trenches and comes after Scutter in all the WWII sequences . . . maybe Lodz killed Justin's father and then brought the kids to America once he realized that Justin had special powers but they were too much so Justin made Lodz blind or immortal or something that can be references biblically. Or something.

And dude!! Secretary was on HBO and the guy that plays Lodz is, get this, PLAYING MAGGIE GYLLENHAL'S PRIEST. I would have laughed but I was too scared.

You seem to be giddy, for no reason that seems wise. But that's just wrong.

Must say, am all about the weird accent that guy who plays Lodz has -- it's like an evil version of Viggo Mortensen's accent.

You're so right, I never thought about his voice that way before, but it's perfect. I think that's really how he talks too, it was the same in Secretary.

Not giddy, but severely pissed off at the Yuppie Scum.

Well they are both people who have lived in two many countries, so it makes sense. And yeah, that's the Lodz guy's real voice, tehre's a long ramble about it somewhere on the Carnival website.

Not obsessed. Not. obsessed. No time to be obsessed. feh.
