"Where would we be without you?" / "Quite some distance from a clue, one imagines."
*LOL*
and, I covet her hat. Just sayin'.
Is it just me or is the fact that the Inspector is more freaked by the fact that Vastra and Jenny are lesbians than the alien/prehuman/outer space aspects a deliberate meta commentary or what?
And now that I've seen those two and BLESS YOU and curse you for hooking me in because I want MORE, I want this series so much I want this and wonder WHY doesn't that exist? Sexy victorian ladies in leather? Smart, sexy Victorian lesbians? What is not to love here?
(and I'll excuse the awful english accent because she is just that good an actress).
Is it bad? I'll take your word on that. And wait, Felix isn't English IRL? Because he sounds exactly like the actors I recently saw in an indie film from the UK.
My favorite felix part so far is when he fans his face in ep 1 before opening the door to Victor and slapping Victor across the face - not to hurt him, just to be dramatic and play up the part and he is just so perfect all the time.
But it's interesting because he's the "sidekick" to the female protagonist and that's still unusual isn't it? Also unusual at least from my experience of tv (which is a tad outdated) that they didn't need to "tell me" that Felix is gay, I knew it immediately. It's who he is but it's not a "thing" to be shocked at or "deal with" either, it's just a fact. Which is how it SHOULD BE, IMHO.
"Sorry. I wanted to float that whole clone thing a lot softer." Aweseome.
Tatiana just plays the shit out of all these different people and that cannot be easy to make them all distinct and real and not just different stereotypes. My sweetie actually didn't recognize Tatiana as "the German" I had to point it out to her.
Tatiana needs all of the awards. All of them.
But does the same resistance to "genre" works still exist when it comes to voters that did when Buffy was on the air?
I wish I could see your icons better on my LJ - the one thing I hate is that it shrinks everybody's icons. You're doing some marvelous complex stuff with "collages" and overlays at the same time that I've never attempted; and I love your use of color; your palette is very distinct to you from anyone else's.
I took the Mary Morstan drinking tea icon and put it together with Alice Morgan from Luther doing the same thing, because classy murderesses drink tea, okay? And because they are my favourite people. One is a kitten-loving, utterly sweet and lovely former assassin and the other is an incredibly intelligent, sexy, certifiable (and, in fact, committed to a psychiatric hospital at one point) serial killer with utter respect (and protection) for those who impress her. They could take down the world.
Do I need to watch Luther? Because this intrigues me - a lot.

And I already love Cosima after just one ep - and she's based on the real life science consultant for the show, which is very cool http://www.bbcamerica.com/orphan-black/videos/insider-meet-the-real-cosima/
