The Philanthropist

[gwyn]

OMG. Did anyone else watch this tonight? I had no idea about some of the other parts of the cast -- specifically that Michael K. Williams (Omar in The Wire) was in it. JAMES PUREFOY AND MICHAEL KENNETH WILLIAMS in one spot. In a show about doing good in the world. I. Am. So. There. Talk about a summer happy place. (Also, bonus James Purefoy being as nekkid as he could be on American TV.)

So there is another big wanky kerfuffle going on and as usual I know nothing about it. Lately I find myself quoting Angel, because Angel says it best: I find it hard to care. I know, I know, what'shisface from Wolfram & Hart said it first, but when Angel says it it's much better.

Hey, remember, you guys, when Angel said that and he shut the door on all the lawyers? And hey, remember when Angel regained his soul and Buffy rammed him with the sword anyway? Oh! Oh! And remember when he rode Wes's motorcycle wearing the hot pink helmet? How about when he got all smiley about being discussed in the chatty rooms? Good times. And oh, when he and Spike did their St. Petersburg thing? Magical. But most of all, remember when he turned into a puppet?

I thought it was just another reality show so I didn't tune in. Darn! I'll check it out.

The last Angel ep I saw, having stumbled across it while working at home one day, was Smile Time. I let out a cheer the neighbors could have heard. Best episode of any television ever.

I'd been waiting for The Philanthropist for weeks, then ended up being otherwise occupied last night, so it's waiting for me on my TiVo.

Btw, my TiVo also caught James Purefoy on a couple of talk shows, and he's too adorable for words. I loved that he took this role because it was about doing good for others, and he met the billionaire his character's based on.
