*flails*

OMG YOU GUYS DID YOU SEE THE TFC CHRISTMAS EP???

*flails some more*

I don't even know what to SAY about it besides FLAIL -

and zomg SQUEE -  the little O. Henry thing was adorable - I usually don't like Gifts of the Magi refs, but this one was just SO CUTE. 

And did you catch the cameo by Roger Moore?  That was a definite callout, am I right? 

Do you think Damien's going to be a recurring villain?

I can't believe there's not gonna another ep until January --

(no subject)

The Charteris fan club has just sent out the news that they are OFFICIALLY starting work on a new Saint television series.  James Purefoy (Marc Antony in HBO's Rome, usually his head does not look as massive as it does in that pic hopefully) will be playing Simon Templar, and they'll be starting filming in Berlin and Australia in April. 

I have no idea how I feel about this.  On the one hand, the more exposure for the Saint, the better, right? 
But on the other, I'm terrified they'll do it wrong, and if it doesn't do well the whole franchise'll probably flop (so much for me marketing my screenplay trilogy), and if it DOES do well there'll be a plethora of fans who only know the TV series, which will at best be (modern reinterpretation of) postwar Saint (not nearly as much fun as the 1930s Saint I write, in my not-so-very-humble opinion - I honestly don't even enjoy the 1950s-60s books as much, much less the Roger Moore TV series)... plus I'm basically married to my personal casting choices and to hell with this James Purefoy I've been picturing Jude Law since page one of the first book I picked up, lol. 

So yeah I'm torn -
