it's me and you rosie cracklin' like crossed wires
2. i judge all shows by h:lots standards
2a. 'homicide: life on the street' is a 1990s cop show. why haven't you seen it yet?
2b. HLOTS BUNNIES
3. hisako ichiki is my favourite
4. sandra oh for jessica jones
5. joan watson is greater than all your other watsons combined
6. idris elba for all your favourite sacred white characters
7. lea salonga should record a les mis album by herself. i would buy it.
8. olivia pope deserves better than fitz
9. there will be irregular picspams of shows i like
10. if none of that has scared you off, i am an asian canadian woman who likes looking at media critically. white dudes are generally my least favourite character type. i mean, they have to be twice as good as everyone else to be considered half as worthwhile. (except scott summers. and if that doesn't get me unfollowed, i don't know what will.)
10a. i like elementary, but i don't think it's all that progressive. better than other shows? sure, but still too white gazey. i think this means other shows should do better, not that elementary should get tonnes of praise for...treating joan like a human being. joan, for me, is micro-resistance. elementary could still do better.

Idris Elba for the March 2013 issue of British GQ
Idris Elba has long expressed his desire to direct; it was in mi-2010 that he mentioned he was working with the BBC on a feature film project that was already being developed for him to helm some time in following year (2011), which would’ve been his directorial debut. He didn’t share much at the time, other than to say that the BBC-commission film centered on a young girl - nothing more.
Skip ahead 2 1/2 years later, to a Sky TV report of all its new, upcoming programming, and a section in which it is announced that Elba will be making his TV directorial debut with a Sky Arts’ Playhouse Presents feature titled The Pavement Psychologist, which Mr Elba also wrote the screenplay for!
The 30-minute drama will chronicle the intriguing relationship between an affable businesswoman and a charismatic homeless man. The businesswoman will be played by Anna Friel (Public Enemies) and the charismatic homeless man will be played by, none other than, Nonso Anozie! Rounding out the cast will be Idris’ Luther co-star Steven Mackintosh, playing an office colleague of Anna Friel’s at the successful London accounting firm they both work for, and Reggie Yates (Doctor Who - he’s also black by the way) as Friel’s stylish assistant. The complex office dynamic unravels when Friel’s character befriends Anozie’s, subsequently exposing some uncomfortable truths about both Friel’s work and private life. Not much else is given, except to say that the story challenges social norms and sensitively examines the nuances of relationships.
