Caught Il Trovatore. I think the moral of that story is to always check which baby you're throwing onto the fire. The plot is deliciously messed up. Anyway, it was totally worth going despite the tell-and-don't-show-ness (why show the sword fights or the aforementioned mistaken identity baby bonfire chucking incident when you can sing about it?) of it all just because I can now place the Anvil Chorus.
I can't believe I'm excited about the new series of Grey's Anatomy. I haven't been excited about Grey's since the unexploded bomb in the guy's chest episode – but this is what casting Kevin McKidd will achieve. Lucius Vorenus! I adore him. He should be cast in everything. Particularly Doctor Who, because he would make an excellent Eleven. So would Ray Stevenson for that matter (and Paul Cornell thinks so too). Hell, one of them should be the Doctor and the other the Companion. I'd be Rome in space, with more aliens and sadly less of the characters displaying their affection for each other through graphic violence.
I miss Rome.
