but can we talk about
YES WE CAN TALK ABOUT
It’s disappointing they didn’t run with this more in the final version. Will does it once (mimicking the “horse to a post” metaphor), but that’s it. I’ve tried to find other examples, but it seems like they dropped the idea more or less entirely. It would have been wonderful to see on screen.
(Can we also talk about how we all know the pilot episode so well that we can pick out any deviation in the old script?)
This was one of the most interesting characteristics of Will Graham in Red Dragon.
Jack Crawford heard the rhythm and syntax of his own speech in Graham’s voice. He had heard Graham do that before, with other people. Often in intense conversation Graham took on the other person’s speech patterns. At first, Crawford had thought he was doing it deliberately, that it was a gimmick to get the back-and-forth rhythm going.
Later Crawfer realized that Graham did it involuntarily, that sometimes he tried to stop and couldn’t.
I can understand why they would take it out of the show, what with everything that goes on with Will already, that might have cluttered his personality…..that being said, to hear Hugh Dancy, on top of his delectable acting skills, take on the cadence of other people’s voices…mmm…

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but Hugh’s laugh halfway through is fucking sunshine. It’ll make your day.
Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy. If something is hard for you, it is hard for you. There are probably Reasons, though those may just be how you are wired. Acknowledge these things. When you finish something hard, be proud! Celebrate a little.And really, just stop saying “should” to yourself about your thoughts and feelings in any context. You feel how you feel. The things in your head are the things in your head. You can’t change either directly through sheer force of will. You can only change what you do. Stop beating yourself up for who and what you are right now–it isn’t productive. Focus on moving forward.

“He’s actually one of the more positive characters I’ve ever played. He’s not haunted by anything. He loves everything that’s beautiful about life—food, wine, fine art.” It’s not that Mikkelsen likes Lecter—he just thinks it’s his actorly duty “to find the good in a bad guy.”

Are there any photoshoots where women are portrayed as business leaders?

—It’s easy to be considered a misandrist when men are socialized to feel entitled to women and our time. So, if you ignore them, you’re a misandrist. If you insist they leave you alone, you’re a misandrist. If you focus on building healthy female-centered relationships over relationships with men, you’re a misandrist. Misandry is basically, prioritizing your agency, autonomy and fellow women, over men in a society that teaches you that being feminine relies on giving into men’s feelings of entitlement.
If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.

THR’s The Race: Elementary’s Jonny Lee Miller Revels in the Idiosyncrasies of Sherlock Holmes
For Miller, Watson as Sherlock’s equal — and not a love interest — was a relief. “You can play with certain things, and you can bend and shape characters to a certain extent, but if you bend them too far, they’re going to break. I think there are some things that are sacred and need to remain solid — and their relationship is absolutely sacred.”
THR: Can you speak to specific traits that you noticed from the books that haven’t been so prominent in past iterations, like BBC’s Sherlock or the Sherlock Holmes film franchise?
Miller: In the books, I found him to be a much more understanding guy. I feel that he really likes people a little bit more than I had seen recently — not that he can necessarily communicate that very well. He likes the underdog, and he likes people who are downtrodden, who are having a hard time. He generally wants to help. I found him to be a much more helpful person, so I tried to put a bit of that in, even though he doesn’t quite pull it off.
THR: I noticed that you incorporated physical ticks and habits. How did you physicalize that aspect of the role?
Miller: I wanted him to be quite wild and erratic physically. I felt that that matched his brain; it’s almost what you see in people whose brains are moving very fast, and who are struggling [at the same time]. They often have those characteristics, physically. You don’t want to overdo it, but if you do it regularly, then it seeps subconsciously into the character, and people recognize things.
THR: How has your working relationship with Lucy Liu evolved as the series went on?
Miller: It’s something that you can’t ever account for. It either works or it doesn’t with someone, and thankfully from day one, Lucy and I worked fantastically together and really get on. We have the same sense of humor, we laugh a lot, we try and support each other, and you go through real ups and downs. We’re in each others’ pockets for long periods of time, and you better get on with each other or you’re done. Aside from that, professionally we click. I think she’s a fabulous actor to work with. She’s really subtle, and I’ve learned a lot from her.
THR: You’re active on Twitter. What has feedback been like?
Miller: Fascinating. It’s a fine line; I started up on Twitter for a very specific reason, and now I’m getting into it. I think it’s nice to see people all over the world’s appreciation of the things they find interesting. But it’s really nice and I have a bit of fun with it. But you’ve got to keep that at an arm’s length.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/fbfa08aff71c336041d3522565b66b47/tumblr_molf891OHs1ri1p5ro1_500.jpg)

Still one of my favorite posts.
