Despite having several shows I am either watching for the first time or rewatching and having vids in the pile...I started watching Alphas today on the Netflix, on account of ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
klia talking it up at Vividcon and then I was like I have to watch that! So I am.
But anyway, those of you who have been around for awhile know of my adversarial relationship with Callum Keith Rennie. And really, my hate on for him is not really his fault...also, at this point I am pretty sure I'm mostly just holding on to a grudge because it's kind of fun.
And I shouldn't have been surprised when he showed up. I mean, given the nature of the show and all I should have been counting on it. So there I was, all grumbling. But then...a thing just happened.
HE GOT BEAT TO DEATH WITH A CHAIR. And as I was giggling my way through his gruesome death (because I am not a good person)...I started to realize just how many times I have laughed my way through his gruesome deaths. And. It's like, he does it just for me. This ending up in roles in which I can be highly entertained by such a wide variety of methods of his demise. I mean, god, it's practically a love letter. CKR loves me. And how can I hate that? I can't. We're square now, him and me. I feel I can even start embracing those moments where he doesn't end up a battered dead pulp on the floor (well, except for Wilby Wonderful where I always loved him, Duck is my exception to my rule of hate).
Except now I feel kind of bad that he's been trying to get my attention all these years and I have spurned his affections. I'M SORRY, CKR. I hope that you can forgive me and we can have many entertaining deaths together in the future. <3

Laughing aside, yikes, I had no idea you felt that way about CKR. And Alphas had such a long hiatus, I'd totally forgotten he was in it until you mentioned it, and the chair. Sorry about that! Glad you two are square now, at least.

No worries, CKR is in everything ever and impossible to avoid :D I am pretty sure he is congenitally incapable of turning down jobs.

I have watched so many terrible films for that man. Haven't seen that episode yet - is he a villain again in this one?

Not a villain, but kinda skeezy in that way he can be. I suspect from the pilot that he was actually supposed to be a regular, but that for whatever reason he couldn't stay on/they couldn't keep him on...so beating him to death with a chair in the third episode was the solution? Or he just said to them 'You know what? Eunice needs to see me die again, because I love her...can we arrange that?'
...what? It's possible.

Apparently he's stupidly nice in person, so... HE JUST MIGHT HAVE.
