Of This & That

♠ The Glades was canceled after 4 seasons: link. I wasn't following it religiously anymore but I was set to get it on DVD once it was over. Not anymore. The season - now series - finale ends on such a terrible cliffhanger - ( spoilers! )

- that I just can't be bothered. And honestly, pardon my French, but FUCK YOU, A&E! Way to appreciate your viewers. One can say a lot about networks like the CW but they've never canned a long-running show without giving it the time to wrap things up.

♠ Kurt Russell was offered a role in Fast & Furious 7: link. Rumors have it that it's the same part that Denzel Washington turned down. Interesting!

♠ Bradley Cooper will be voicing Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy: link. Apparently, he was the director's, James Gun's, dream casting for the part. Nice!

♠ James Spader was cast as Ultron in The Avengers: Age of Ultron: link. Nice! I have no idea who or what Ultron is so I'm totally unbiased. And looking forward to it even more now!

♠ An interesting report from the Sherlock set, saying that they staged a few "false shots" to throw people off their scent: link. Interesting. But also sad that so called fans make it so hard for the makers of their beloved show to actually film it. Shame on you, gawkers :(

The Listener 208-211

Yannick Bisson! I've never heard his real voice before, I've always seen him dubbed only. Not what I expected. Strange! But, gosh, he's so pretty *_* I liked the medium in this episode, such a sweet woman. I would like to see her again.

And Aaron Ashmore! Playing an a-hole, of course :P But I liked the episode. I liked the hacker girl, though the ending reminded me too much of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

And Ryan Robbins from Sanctuary! That was really good. I liked Toby and Oz's boss in this one, he was so worried about them. Yeah, he loves to needle Oz but he cares about his subordinates very, very much.

And Genelle Williams from Warehouse 13! Sweet! But in this ep, I was more interested in Oz and their boss, Ryder, in the B-story, so to speak, than in the murder case. I just really love Oz being all kinds of awesome.

You know, in S1, I didn't really like Oz. He was just Toby's wise-cracking buddy. But now, I love how they are developing him, his relationship with Sandy, the way he takes care of everyone whose problems Toby, the telepath, simply doesn't see anymore because of his involvement with the police, because of how busy he is all the time. That's really nice.
