female gazing at: Jack Davenport
Pirate! (I much preferred the scruffy Norrington…)
Flashforward
my reads: ‘WWW: Wake’ and ‘WWW: Watch’ by Robert J. Sawyer
I love Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer’s science fiction because it’s so humanist, even more so than the genre tends to be…
female gazing at: Michael Ealy
It was Michael Ealy’s birthday yesterday. I can’t believe I missed it. He turned 37, which I can’t believe even more. I would have guessed he was 10 years younger than that.
female gazing at: Joseph Fiennes
I think I’m the only person who laments the failure of FlashForward, not just because it was smart science fiction drama but also for the hot FBI action we got from Joseph Fiennes: Shakespeare in what now?
