All right, so as of now, there will be no more crossposting to LJ. One of these days, I will go through my LJ and delete all my extremely personal crap. Everything else will stay up. All my content has been imported to DW, so I'm not losing anything. I feel good about this way of handling it, so yay. Thanks to everyone who gave input!

tinny about icons, and because I was stuck on my fic, and quite enjoyed the new Doctor Who episode, I made some 10x01 icons.
Crit, feedback, comments, all welcome!
Has anyone been watching Line of Duty? I'm mostly watching it for Paul Higgins, who played Jamie on The Thick of It. His English accent is painful. He's trying so hard, but as someone on my dash on Tumblr said, it's like watching undercover Jamie acting like he imagines Englishmen act. His character on Line of Duty is an UTTER CREEP, though, so I'm having some discomfiting dissonance with how much I love Jamie and how much I hate ... I think his name is Hilton? ACC Hilton. Blech.
Thandie Newton is playing the lead, though, and she's great. I had a huge crush on her back when she was playing Dr. Carter's girlfriend on ER. Her character on Line of Duty is a bit shady, but man, I know where my sympathies lie. Everyone else on that show is even more of a creep. Oh, gritty British crime shows.

THAT'S where I know him from. I kept wondering! Watching British TV is always an exercise in "I know you from SOMEWHERE but am I invested enough to IMDB you ..." Though I can't say, tbh, that I remember what his role in A2A was. I did watch the show, but I barely remember the plot ... I was more a Life on Mars kinda person.
I like watching it
Oh, I love it. I enjoy British TV's tendency to be like, well EVERYONE sucks and is a terrible person, so you're just going to have to pick whom to side with based on your personal sympathies.
I'm also enjoying this season's theme of pointing out systemic misogyny, and how putting a police department in charge of investigating police corruption can't really work in the long run, because you're going to get the same systemic failures in the anti-corruption department that you also get in all other departments--except nobody's investigating them.
Though I'm not sure the show's being obvious enough about pointing that out. I got this anon on Tumblr yesterday, and it did kind of throw me. How could anyone argue she was not justified in defending herself??
Poor Gene. I still don't know whose idea it was to put him in charge of ferrying cops into the afterlife. That's such an abstract concept, and Gene and abstract concepts are just a bit antithetical.
