So now I'm kind of spamming. Just, I am on forced break from vidding on account of window glare...and it's probably a good thing because I was getting super frustrated anyway.
But can we talk for a second about Damian Lewis, friends (waves to AJ)? See, the thing is I have been a fan of Claire Danes for years and years, ever since My So Called Life. I went into Homeland anticipating and expecting that I would dig her performance. Which, she hasn't just met but exceeded my expectations with Carrie and OMG, AMAZING. And, like, you always know you're going to get a solid performance out of Mandy Patinkin, the only real question being how long before he throws a tantrum and abandons your show. And the rest of the cast is turning in solid shit all over.
But see, I was not familiar with Damian Lewis, and I gotta tell you guys...he is blowing my mind. Like, how do you take what is already a deeply complex and layered character just on paper alone and kick it up to HOLY SHITBALLS level? Cast this guy, apparently. Because he will take your complex layers and add a level of emotional nuance that takes my goddamn breath away. Well done, casting department. WELL DONE.

Also, he did a modern version of "Much Ado About Nothing" in which he is a skeezy Benedick until he's genuine and heartbreaking and astonishingly hot. And he gets to use his real accent.
