Fandom 2012

[leigh57]

In the (approximate, since I lack her flair -- get it?) style of lowriseflare, my fandom wishlist for 2012:

1. for Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson to costar in a delightful two hour BBC comedy that has nothing to do with death, pain, alcoholism, or emo of any kind and in which they have metric craptons of well-acted eyesex
2. for Annie Wersching to land a monumentally badass role in a new TV show that is (for once) good, and for her costar to be hot
3. for Justified to keep doing exactly what it's doing, complete with emo!Winona, awesome!Art, lots of complicated bromance between Boyd and Raylan, and meatier storylines for Tim and Rachel
4. for Touch to be as fantabulous as it looks in this trailer. Or in lieu of that, for it to be totally terrible but still stay on TV so I can hear Kiefer talk every week:)
5. for someone to find and put all over youtube A) all the 8x17 nookie footage that hit the cutting room floor B) the gag reels from every single season of 24 or, even better, C) all of the above
6. for me to find the courage to watch the end of BSG
7. for Brandi Carlile to release a new CD already, and then come tour near my home 12 times
8. for Allison Janney to have her own show, in which she plays A) POTUS B) a lifelong New Yorker forced to relocate to Birmingham, AL, C) a bounty hunter, or D) anything

My list is actually pretty short;) What about you guys? Fandom wishes for 2012?

Oh, I would watch the hell out of Annie with him! :) Absolutely. I just want her to have a role where she's not wringing her hands and crying, dammit. SHE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE, SO LET HER.

Is Luther one of those BBC things where they make four hours of it and then make four more two years later? I can't believe how they handle Sherlock, and I'm so glad I'm not a rabid fan because I'd be crazy.

OMG Kanye on P&R. That would be so funny.

I don't even know who Diane is! Wow, my pop culture fail is so epic. It only gets more epic with each passing minute. WOE. &hearts

Diane (played by Christine Baranski) is one of the partners at the law firm Lockhart/Gardner (along with Will, who's played by Josh Charles) where Alicia (Julianna Margulies) works. She's amazing. :D

Yeah, haha (although series 1 had six episodes). Ruth Wilson, who plays Alice, mentioned in an interview that she and Idris Elba want to make a third series to wrap up the show, but I'm not sure when that's going to happen.

Word!

Oh, it's Christine Baranski! I absolutely adore her. She is relentlessly fabulous in everything she does.

I hope you get more Luther!

I was gonna say, you definitely know who Christine Baranski is. And yes, she is doing wonderfully on the Good Wife with tons of meaty stuff to deal with.

Oh the second Cinna said the name I was all OH. I absolutely adore her. I love The Ref for a lot of reasons, but she's at the top of that list. I just didn't know the name of her character on TGW.

I feel as if I should absolutely be watching that show. My motivation to watch anything is just . . . less than zero. It's pathetic. I can't believe I haven't even finished BSG. FAIL to the max.
