FANFARE!
HE WILL BE ON THE NEW RONALD D. MOORE SHOW WITH JAMIE BAMBER!
The show is called 17th Precinct, and it will be like "Harry Potter for adults", a cop show with supernatural stuff. James' character, Jeff, is a homicide detective, "slender, long dark hair, British accent".
The good:
-Ronald D. Moore!
-Michael Rymer!
-Jamie Bamber! How great that he gets to act with someone he is friends with, and has worked with before. That will definitely show in the performance.
-long hair!
-British accent!
-With RDM and MR, there will be lots of possibilities for ad libs. James will have real influence on his character here, unlike on, say, Eureka.
-This will give him great visibility and possibilities for future roles.
-This will give him great visibility and possibilities for future roles.
-Cops like their donuts, so maybe he can do some character study... ;) (Toby had to remind me of this, I hadn't even thought of it! He tells me I'm going loose on the donut associations.)
The bad:
-It's only a pilot, so it's still possible it won't make it into full series. But I mean, how could it not? Let's be optimistic. And gleeful. And incredibly hyper!!! EEEEE!
-The premise sounds a little silly and could easily be dumb. But so did BSG, and RDM made it glorious. I hope this one will also be gritty, political, real, with multi-layered characters. I believe it will. Besides, I can handle a bit of suspension of disbelief. I watch The 4400 and Medium.
-I have to continuously spell "precinct". I might actually go for 17P, so I don't have to expose myself to endless typos and frustration. (Hee, pee. OMG, grow up, self.)
-Jeff. Really? It doesn't fit him at all, and it doesn't sound remotely British. Blah.
-Homicide detectives have to be pretty gruff sometimes. I hope James will get to be sensitive too and do the sad puppy eyes. I can't really imagine him as an overly-macho type.
UPDATE: OMG OMG OMG TRICIA HELFER WILL BE ON HTE SHOW TOOO EEEEEEE
I dunno if I'm ever going to calm down now, this is my wish come true, James and Tricia on the same show again <3 <3 <3 and probably a quality show at that!!! I love them so much!!! JAMES AND TRICIA FOREVER!!!!!! *hyperventilates, faints, etc. etc.* I may say something calmer later but I'm not sure. I'm not sure I'll ever be calm again. OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!
This is SO exciting! I read about this last night when I was just going to bed, and I wanted to wait until today when I can calmly write about it and say:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE long hair British accent this will be soooo great I love him so much EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE long hair British accent this will be soooo great I love him so much EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
