Psycho CKR and more Who
Aug. 12th, 2007 12:44 pmIn my continuing quest to watch everything Callum Keith Rennie has ever been in, I watched an episode of Smallville (s5e18 - Fragile) yesterday, in which - surprise! - CKR plays a cardboard baddie with - surprise! - no redeeming qualities. *sigh*
He looked pretty good, though, so at least the bits where he was on screen weren't a complete waste of my time, and he gave the character enough moral ambiguity that I wanted things to work out for him - which I don't think was the intention of the script. Maybe I'm just conditioned to sympathise with characters played by CKR, even if they're supposed to be completely amoral and despicable...
What tickled me most was the description of him by one of the other characters as "good looking in that psycho killer sort of way." Hee.

All asquee for Nine!
Jul. 14th, 2007 06:45 pmfajrdrako and I are having our own Ninth Doctor squeefest. We were both missing Nine (and the brilliant wonderful Christopher Eccleston) and the logical answer was a synchronised re-watch of Nine's (unfortunately brief) run of episodes. You are all welcome to bring your own squee to the party!This is how it will work: we'll post the time when we'll be watching an episode and then one of us will host the discussion on our lj, taking it in turns. I lost the coin toss, so head over for discussion of Rose on
fajrdrako's journal, starting any time in the next hour or so. I will try and provide more notice (promise!) for the next episode for anyone who wants to do the synchronised watching thing. Please feel free to join in, even if you haven't just watched the episode. Though we're hoping that some of you may want to leap right in - the more people involved in Nine-watching, the happier our little corner of the fandom will be!
