I had to do this. ;)

(I actually watched the first season and got a kick out of it, though it's a little too gross at times. I expect that I'll watch the second season).

For those who may be interested, Eva Green is a nominee in the "Best actress in a drama series" category as part of tonight's Critics' Choice TV Awards (8pm ET on A&E).

Though as good as she was in Season 1, given her competition (Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife (CBS); Keri Russell, The Americans (FX); Taraji P. Henson, Empire (FOX); Vera Farmiga, Bates Motel (A&E); Viola Davis, How to Get Away With Murder (ABC)), she probably doesn't have a chance of winning. But one never knows? And, of course, as they always say, it's an honor just to be nominated.  [snow_wink]

She's not disappointed this season thus far. That show is totally off the chain. Lately I've been fantasizing it as Dark Shadows. I am having a lot of fun with it.

Dorian and Ethan still have no followup.  Dorian has a new lover, and last week they were given a gay sex scene that did not cutaway at the beginning like Dorian/Ethan's scene did.  I take it that since Dorian slept with Brona, Vanessa, and Ethan, that he will be drawn into their imminent love triangle at some point.  I'm really loving season 2 thus far, there is so much great character development and so many touching moments.

No real surprise but a pleasant one at that.

I get to catch up starting this weekend. I think I'm two eps behind, Saturday will be three. Can't wait!

I am not into award shows, but I have to say that Helen McCrory has really captivated me in the role of Evelyn.  I've only seen episode 1 of the current series and various clips SHO has posted to YT, but she's invariably awesome--such fabulous craft as an actress, and I think she would have been PERFECT on DS--the ORIGINAL series that is. 

I also personally would like to see Simon Russell Beale get an award because he's totally ringing my Thayer David chimes as Lyle, but I think the character is probably too minor and, inevitably, too eccentric, to attract attention from the Emmies.

Somebody was speculating that Lyle and Ethan should have a roll in the hay since Lyle is evidently besotted with Ethan.  I found myself wondering just what Lyle's intricately composed hair and beard would look like in the wake of such... vigorous exercise.  Let's face it, Ethan doesn't go from Mild to Wild--he STARTS Wild and goes BESTIAL.
