I've tried but I just can't write about 17th Precinct anymore. It was going to be so great, and just.. I just can't. Let's just pretend, for now, that the whole project never happened and we weren't promised an awesome James-Jamie-Tricia reunion and a cool premise that might have been AMAZING, only to have it yanked out from under us. NBC sucks, and if I didn't love Community, I'd boycott it.
A propos Community: couldn't James Callis join it? Pleeease? Just a thought. It's just his kind of humor. Well, technically, it's just my kind of humor, which may or may not be his kind. But I think he'd be awesome on that show.
What else? I guess nothing. I have no idea what's going to happen with James this year. He was going to be John Bosson - sniff! - and now just.. could be anyone. I mean, maybe a window will open up elsewhere and he will be in an amazing role. We just have to have faith.
And now if you'll excuse me, I'll go get drunk. There's always a risk that I send James some embarrassing messages while intoxicated, but that's a risk I have to take.

Dear "James Callis Penis" Searchers.
I hereby announce that I HAVE NO INFORMATION PERTAINING JAMES' PENIS, whether it be its size, shape, or whereabouts. I doubt any other site does either. Just saving you a lot of time.
If you wish to ask James about his penis (not recommended), please direct all questionts to his twitter at http://twitter.com/jamescallis I assure you he knows more about the topic than do I.
Also: LOL and he's not a porn actor, people.
Thank you.

I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.
So it seems official: 17th PRECINCT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. Ever. The wise executives of NBC have decided that a show with James Callis, Jamie Bamber, AND Tricia Helfer is really too good to be true.
I am so mad right now, I will express my sentimets in this crudely drawn Paint "art"work. The grey represents the dullness of the TV landscape without 17th Precinct; the broken heart symbolizes my broken fan heart; and the ugly background color is a symbol for how annoying everything is right now. Also, my cat is very angry.
I'm so mad and disappointed, I can't even talk about it more right now. Mo ranting will probably follow.

Mr Tourist Goes to France..
There are some photos of James Callis on set of BBC's Merlin here! And I mean, look at him. "OMG I'm in France! There's a castle here! Let's see if I can get a good angle! These will be great for my holiday album!" Plus flirting with all the ladies on set, obviously. LOL!
I don't know how he always manages to look like he's not working, but having a fun holiday somewhere. I guess acting could be one of those jobs that don't feel like a job, especially if you're just guest starring and don't have a lot to film.
I'm not sure if he's in costume here or if these are his own clothes. They look a bit big on him, but then his clothes tend to, so go figure. (Also note: he's wearing a coat while the women are in T-shirts. Always cold. <3) The hair is still short and there's a minor mustache alert, with stubble. Handsome combination if you ask me. The belly looks slightly bulgy - slurp - but it's hard to tell. Unfortunately, due to my new job, I have to focus on other things and can't do proper analytics on his belly size and prize. Maybe another time. Sigh. No, I love my new job. It's just hard to focus sometimes when stuff is going on with James.

Les Nouvelles de James Callis
Il me faut écriver en francais, parce que James is in France filming BBC's Merlin! Awesome!
Wow, that's like the hand of God guiding him to the role. Except that the horse's name is one letter off. God doesn't do typos.
This is the good Merlin, from what I hear. I haven't watched it, but I probably should. He's going to be in season four.
I like seeing James on a horse. It's pretty sexy and impressive. I mean the horse isn't sexy, just James is. But if the horse makes him sexier, does that make it pervy? OR will I see anything as sexy if it's connected to James?
Also, he's impressing people left and right with his French skills on Twitter, so check it out. Also what looks like Italian to me. He's really pretty good, and he clearly enjoys impressing people with it. J'espere qu'il mange beaucoup de croissants et baguettes. Et.. donuts, whatever that is in French.
The sad nouvelles is that it really sounds like NBC won't pick up 17th Precinct. I'm really hoping it's just a rumour, but if not, I will sulk and grump in another post. Glad to know James has work even if it doesn't happen. (But not with Jamie and Tricia :( )

Ramble Baubles, Part 1,000,000
I feel like I haven't written a real post post in a while. Not much is going on, of course, but that never used to stop me. I'm feeling down lately, and that also reflects into the fandom. Some of the joy is lost, but probably not for good. Also, I have the flu right now so if this post turns out to be super blah, it's just because of that.
I'm still very much NOT blah about James, though. Tumblr is proving a lot easier to post photos with, so I'm posting a couple per day over there. Also reblogging some beautiful artwork with James/James and Tricia. See it all at Fuck Yeah James Callis!
Soon we should have news about 17th Precinct, and I'm very hopeful that it will be picked up. If/WHEN it is, James will return to Vancouver to shoot next month, and there will be more delicious tidbits. I've purposefully not written a whole lot about the show so far. The thing is, I want to withhold my judgement until I've seen it or at least heard a little more about it. I'm a little unsure and nervous if I'll like it. I don't usually like police procedurals. But I do like James, Jamie and Tricia, and I like Ron's writing. I think I'll get a kick out of the magical elements too. So I'm cautiously optimistic still. It may not be my new favorite show OMG, so I'm trying to not be too pre-emptively gushy.
The good news is that James is very happy with the show, as told by Aaron Douglas:
Whether I like it or not, the show being picked up would be a great thing. It would mean more visibility, new fans, possibly more cons. It would mean lots of James and Jamie and Tricia being gorgeous together. From a less selfish perspective, it would mean that James gets to work with people he loves in a place he loves. So I'm really hoping for a green light here.
In the meantime, James has been tweeting a lot. His Twitter is everything I had hoped: funny, at times insightful, friendly. He doesn't spam with every minute detail of his life, and he doesn't get into fights with people. The tweets sound playful and down-to-earth. Some celebrity twitters are a bit, well, self-indulgent, and I never get that impression with James. (But then I may be biased. Maybe.) I enjoy reading his thoughts. I feel a bit nervous and jittery when he posts still, and I reply too much, but this too shall pass.
He's also a big fan of Radiohead, which is kind of cool. And odd. He can have fans and he can be a fan... which kind of means he's higher than us and Radiohead is higher than him? OR he's on the same level as us and also in the position of wanting to admire other people and their work? Hmmm. Sorry, I'm working on trying to bring him down to a more human level and not put him on a pedestal. It's not always easy for me. I tend to really get into things I love, and sometimes I need a reality check.
He hasn't put his foot in his mouth with some racist/sexist/etc. comment yet, so I'm starting to think he never will. I think he's actually really OK and accepting of other people. He's just human, so surely he has some bigoted notions and biased ideas, but he's smart enough to not tweet them. Sometimes actors, particularly comedians, dwell in the negative or offensive things, or they want to stir shit and say stuff that's "daring" and rude. The temptation might be quite high if you have a thousand followers. I respect James for not going that way. He has a beautiful mind. Am I putting him on a pedestal again? It's hard to tell.
There has been much request - or at least many searches - for "James Callis shirtless". There are no recent photos depicting him in such a delicious condition, but if you want to see some assorted BSG and Going Wrong goodies, look in my Tumblr, here. There are several pages. Some are just from his shoulders up, but there are several that show his lovely and somewhat hirsute torso too. Mm hmm. And I promise to keep adding screenshots in this category, too.
Some more search terms just for fun:
"james callis hair". I get a lot of these searches. Ah, the luscious mane! The lion's pride and horse's billowing-in-the-wind appendix. I know I've always been vocal about my love for his hair in all forms - perhaps too much so - and I do hope he won't go bald in the near future. If you wish to see pictures of his hair, see, well, every picture. But also the ones specifically tagged long hair or short hair.
"does James Callis smoke" - James Callis smokes, now don't you forget it.
"does james callis hate jamie bamber?" NO. They were very chummy on the set of 17th Precinct. See here. (Why should he hate Jamie? Or anyone, for that matter? I don't think he's the hating type.) They've always said what good friends they are, so I'd be very surprised if they suddenly fell out. And frankly, a little upset.
"James Callis always crying" - Umm, I don't think he is. Actually, I've never seen him cry off character. I imagine he's a touchy-feely guy, but it's not like he sits around weeping for no reason. If you mean on BSG, I think it's in part because he's so emotional and in part to humanize Baltar. He has the loveliest sad puppy eyes, doesn't he? Nicole made a great list of Baltar crying moments, but I can't find it for some reason. Maybe some linkage, Nicole?
"james callis weight" / "how much does james callis weigh"? You know what, get on Twitter and ask the maestro himself. If he doesn't like a question, he won't answer it. And I refuse to ask him, because he probably knows I'm horny about it, and it would be awkward. I'm not that curious about the number, actually, just his attitude on it. Not that it's any of my business, but then, what is?
Speaking of weight: "james callis thin"/"james callis skinny". It kind of varies. Usually, in the last couple of years, he is not skinny. Either way, don't worry, he's not anorexic or something. It's strange, I used to see him as very skinny before the donuts comment. I wonder how much of the chub I'm actually projecting and how much is there. For your own analysis, I refer you to the shirtless pictures linked above. Or perhaps the "tummy" tag.
"great Gaius Baltar quotes". I'm sure there's a site with some.. .let's see. If there isn't, I may have to make a post. Oh my, "Gaius Baltar thought of the day"? This is gold, Jerry, gold! Most of my favorites are already in there. I'd add "Oh my god, oh my giddy aunt!", "No, I haven't done anything!" (when asked "Are you Gaius Baltar?") and... Hmmm. I should really make some posts/tumbls about my favorites. Tumblr has gotten me into a major Gaius Baltar fangirl mood again.
"hot girl standing next to paint horse" - wait, what?
I'm still very much NOT blah about James, though. Tumblr is proving a lot easier to post photos with, so I'm posting a couple per day over there. Also reblogging some beautiful artwork with James/James and Tricia. See it all at Fuck Yeah James Callis!

theaarondouglas BTW. Spoke to James Callis, said 17th precinct was a great shoot & everything he hoped it would be. Check it out when it airs, gonna be goldAfter BSG, James must have high expectations. We don't always have the same taste - Merlin?? - but he must hold Ron D. Moore up to a very high standard. This should be good.

James Callis on Twitter: Addendum.
I'm getting a lot of searches about this, so just to reiterate: James Callis IS on Twitter, his name is @jamescallis. It's not officially verified I but it's him. He announced it on his personal Facebook and the Unofficial James Callis website. That may be as official as you're going to get.
If it seems weird to you, it's just because JAMES CALLIS IS WEIRD*. He's not like Tricia Helfer; he won't tweet straightfoward observations about his day. He will quote song lyrics, say cryptic things that may be impossible to decipher, and tell goofy schoolboy jokes. Also, he abuses dashes, doesn't always type things right, and over-capitalizes. I dunno what's up with that, but it's adorable.
If you want a sample of his style, read his messages to fans from before. Totally consistent with what he writes on Twitter.
James is a laid back, casual guy. He can be funny and silly or heartfelt and shocked at tragic world events. He's fun to follow. Just don't expect a rock star.
* and I mean that in the very nicest possible way

James Hedges?
Other than that, awesome James + Jamie shots by Susan Gittins! I'll be lazy and just link to my tumblr, but by clicking each picture, you can get to the original source. James has been a bit fluey and I think you can tell in these photos that he's under the weather. But ever the champ, he's still standing and working. Can't really tell what the show will be like; "Public Necromancer" van is amusing though. :D
Oh, and there's also a Tricia/James/Jamie pic tweeted by Tricia! :) But since it's on my tumblr too, I won't link separately. Eeee! Yay for the hedgehog hairdo! Yay for the cheekbones! Yay for the slightly too tight coat and slightly too long pants! Yay for the scarf that looks bigger than James himself! :D

Ideas for 17th Precinct...
Confirmed actors:
Jeff - James Callis
Caolan - Jamie Bamber
Morgana - Tricia Helfer
Right on! So what could these three get up to? I have a few ideas... :D
Can't Buy Me Love
Jeff's ex-wife (played by Lucy Lawless) shows up in town all sexy and in a huff, demanding more child support. Jeff's conscience takes the visible shape of Morgana in a blonde wig. Meanwhile, Caolan keeps seeing a strange blonde lady too (played by Katee Sackhoff). His longing takes the physical form of binge drinking and he ends up chasing a pigeon with a broom for ages. No crimes are solved in this episode.
A Rose by Any Other Name
Jeff decides that his name is completely boring and unfitting to his androgynous British charm. He goes and changes it to Sebastian D'Ubervilles. Susan, who has been bonding with Jeff because of their dull names, breaks up with him. Caolan notices changes in his wife's appetite, but can't figure out why. Will Jeff change his name back? In the actual plot, the town is swept by a wave of mysterious murders, and the murderer always leaves a rose on the crime scene. But when you sniff it, it smells like something quite different. Is it a real rose? Is the murderer a rose-inventing magician? Could this be more contrived? I'm no good with police plots.
I think I need to yank the horniness higher and it will improve my ideas.
A Chest Hair's Stroke Away
When the Chest Hair Strangler (Callum Keith Rennie) terrorizes the town, Jeff develops a mysterious rash which doesn't allow for him to wear a shirt. Seeing his delicious chest hair and tummy all the time, Morgana realizes her horniness could be the very key to solving the case...
Sexual Liaisons
Caolan and Jeff get more than a little bi-curious, and one thing leads to another... In the police plot, some guy is murdered with a baseball bat up his oh who the hell cares, sex all around!
Jeff - James Callis
Caolan - Jamie Bamber
Morgana - Tricia Helfer
Right on! So what could these three get up to? I have a few ideas... :D
(Ron Moore if you use these please be fair and pay me OK? xoxo D)

Two New James Callis Pictures! Eeee!
I woke up to two pictures of James on Twitter, so it's a good day already. Eeee!
James with scoobykoo on set.
James alone, on set. Looking a bit like "Oh dear, are you taking another picture? Oh well ok then."
Observations:
-eeeeeee!
-Wait, what? Wasn't Jeff supposed to have long hair? O.o He has really short hair. Is he actually not playing Jeff? I saw from some sources that it was not confirmed he is Jeff, so... maybe we were wrong? Or maybe he wears a wig while filming? Mysterious.
-He seems to be wearing three coats on top of each other. Is it really that cold in Vancouver? Although James always wears layers, so it's hard to say. Poor cold-blooded boy. <3
-He doesn't look all skinny, and this makes me happy. (So I prefer the chub to the long hair, now? You learn new things about yourself every day.)
OK, now off to make lunch and wipe this stupid grin off my face. And get to work.
*grins stupidly all day*
