Now that I'm recaffeinated, I have some further thoughts.
1. Season 2 had BEST be under construction, my old son, or I *WILL* fly to Chicago and find you and MAKE you write it. And you won't like my methods. I'm a Harry/Draco shipper, remember. *big grin*
2. I can't get over Barrowman playing The Doctor as NINE. That's just... twisted, and so darkly amusing. Scary Barrowman is scary. And much more attractive than Eccles.
3. I've NEVER EVER heard a "Gianni" called "Ian," and I grew up in Jewish/Italian neighborhoods in New York City. Yes, they're both cognates of English "John," descended from original Hebrew "Yochanan" (my Hebrew name, as it happens)... but an Italian-American Gianni would be "Johnny," not "Ian," even if his mother was Irish. <g> You might meet an Italian named Ian, especially in America where names cross ethnicities with abandon (I had a college friend named "Ivan Cohen." Russian Jew? Nope. Black Southern Baptist.), but if he's NAMED "Gianni," he's gonna be "Johnny." Some teacher in his youth is going to insist on using his full name, and the kids are going to hear "Johnny," and that's the end of that. (I had a teacher in 3rd grade who insisted on calling me "Randolph," until the day I refused to answer her. She sent me to the principal's office. I explained patiently that my legal, given name is "Randy" on my birth certificate, so clearly, she wasn't talking to me, but to someone else. When the principal got through guffawing, he escorted me back to class, took her into the hallway... and she never called me "Randolph" again.)
4. Is Marcus Graham original, or did you draw him from somewhere?
5. Is John Hart still SpikeJames Marsters without the accent?
6. How do you like Kerr Smith for Ian? Sufficiently pretty (IMHO), and already comfortable with "playing gay"... I need Kerr Smith icons... *sigh*
