Lizzie's realm

...so much talk, so much ado about Misha Collins (Castiel in Supernatural- Yep, I watch that too) playing Elliot Ness (of the Untouchables. The ones who stopped Capone. Who was played by Kevin Costner in the movies from the 90s)in "Timeless", and then, he got three senes, amounting at maybe five minutes. His most memorable quote was about the time-traveling man (who was supposed to be going in the 60s) wearing what he claimed was a woman's sweather...

At the schedule presentation for next season, the show was missing; CBS, when asked by TVLine, answered that the network is currently trying to "ship the shows to some other network"....
Which means that, come November, we'll never discover if CGI blue eyed Bradley Cooper will be the next president of the USA or if the FBI will be able to prove without any doubt that he was corrupt and dirty...

The community I was part of and "used" [EZ] is now offering only mkw files for whatever reason- they still have the same video quality and there are no subs or additional audio files, as it's costumary with .MKW files - and they are, I feel, heavier on my old computer. Also, not  all my tvs at home like mkw files, so it's annoying to have to download and then convert it in mp4.
Any community you know of that still "offer" mp4?

Well, well, well... at long last, I finally ended up writing the second half of this post, with the tv shows I ahve been watching- or that I've been trying to watch- a short commentary. And by the way, isn't Jeremy Renner so sexy in super cool-super elegant- super sexy spy? No? Well, I am gonna be honest here. I watch Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocol, and I think "Oh, look, here there is, Hawkeye working undercover!" I am bad, I know- also because Renner's character in MIGP is way smarter and clever than Clint Barton had ever been and.... Oh, right. Television. I wasn't supposed to talk about Renner's coolness as an hitman-. Right. Sorry for the delay. Anyway...where were we? Yeah, tv, right. So....

Gosh, I haven't been this exited about new things being published and airing on tv in a while, so...yes.
Last week the X-files: Season 10 comic book went out. I red it, and it's amazing. Way better than anything that has been published, as comic and novels, about the show, probably because there are the creative minds, including Carter, of the show behind it. And it's in continuity with everything, set in present time! And in issue one we learn thatDana's baby never actually died, but she gave him up for adoption and told only Fox about this, faking the child's death to keep him out of her crazy life with crazy scentists and aliens and conspirancies.
I also saw the pilot episode of Crossing Lines. I missed it three weeks ago when it aired in Italy, and gotta say, I am kind of happy about it. Why? I never fancied, acting wise, Italian actress Gabriella Pession, but here, playing Italian Police Agent Eva Vittoria, she is just... wow. She is great. She is a beatiful woman, and her acting improved dramatically over the last few years. She is amazing, and when she acts in English she just gaves her best . In one of her main scenes, she was opposed to a holy monster such as Donald Sutherland, and she was simply magnificent. The story is good-well, there are the creators of Criminal Minds behind it, after all- and the general acting too. A cast from all over the wolrd, amd they simply compliment each other. It's not a Babel as I feared, it's a perfect balance, with Sutherland being the icing on the cake.

Under the dome? Wow. I am quite a fan of the most recent Stephen King related works, and the adaption of his owrk is quite good. I like it as a product, even if I am not sure how long I will follow it. I think there is a good chance I'll stick around in the long run, even just to see how different from the book- I know the synopsys of- it will be. But in general, if quality doesn't degenerate, I tend to stick around when soemthing is apreciated as much as this thing (in fact, last year I said since episode one that I was probably already done following the following...)
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a copy of Under the dome to find, because I want to read the whole book before next episode of thow airs...
