Hatshep, I'll join you in that.
GW seems to like to poke the hornets nest to see what will happen.
Well, he's got two hornets here that will show him.  Grumble. ::)

Michael Fassbender for Harry.

I also would love to see the show on Showtime. Each episode would be an hour long, could have as much cursing as it wanted and sex scenes and nudity wouldn't be a big issue (anyone seen Dexter? you know what I mean.)

Yep, I know. *sigh* One of these days, the hornets are going to get him for sure. I knew you'd be with me on this - he really needs us here just to keep him in check.  ;)

I think that he likes being a "gadfly", being "edgy".  So sometimes I just roll my eyes quietly and let him burble on.

Am I the only person who pictures Bob Newheart as Father Forthill?
Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

Why are my lights still on?
Henceforth, therefore, to be known as Electric MacButters?

Lol! You sound like you speak from experience about the weight behind those things. You've gone postal before, huh?  ;) Yeah, give me the two-by-four. I can always turn it into a wooden stake and go for the Buffy approach - stab it before it can finish its evil incantation. In GW's case that means cutting him off before he calls for "Tom Cruise as Harry Dresden" or "Jim Carey as Nic" or whatever his big bad is for that week.  ;D

Am I the only person who pictures Bob Newheart as Father Forthill?

Wow, he looks exactly like what I've always pictured him as, only a bit too old now. Still, it could work.

LOL!!!! Love your new sig!  :D ;D

On that female vampire note, how about Melinda Clarke as Lara Raith? She was in one of the last episodes of Firefly as Inara's old mentor and the head of a brothel. She's very sexy and seems both smart and dangerous. (For anyone who watches Nikita, I think she showed up there, too - although I'm not sure.) Thoughts?

Hm, you're right - she could certainly work for Ariana as well.

On an amusing sidenote, I had fogotten which character was Ariana (I know, its just aweful) and when I looked her up, this sentance was in her biography: "In Proven Guilty, she was one of the bidders on Harry Dresden when Madrigal Raith tried to sell him on eBay." Its just written so dignified, as if that's the most normal thing in the world. Cracked me up. :)

Hey Hatshep2, I used to work at the studios as a carpenter so I've handled my share of two by fours, and hammers.
 And yes I do know about the weight behind them. (Wicked Evil Grin)
I think with GW - it's whatever the annoyance of the week is. ::)

Who would play Deidre?

It would have to be someone in her mid teens, and more importantly how would they deal with the 'cesty kissing scenes with Nick (who would be played by someone old like Alan Rickman or Anthony Hopkins)

Hm, very good question. I tend to think the directors would make it easy on themselves and just skip it. Otherwise, I guess they'll just have to pick a young-looking 18 year old and run with that.
