this is the dialogue that gave me my first OTP...
David: You're a liar! You lied about everything. You lied about your father being out west, 'cause he's not out west! You didn't even tell me your real name!
Jack: So? What you wanna do about it Dave?
David: I don't understand you.
Jack: Oh, so let me spell it out for you. You see, I ain't got nobody tucking me in at night, like you. It's just me, I gotta look out for myself.
David: You had the Newsies!
Jack: Oh, what'd being a Newsie ever give me but a dime a day and a few black eyes? You know, I can't afford to be a kid no more, Dave. For the first time in my life, I got money in my pockets. Real money. Money, you understand? I got more on the way and as soon as I collect, I'm gone, I'm away.
David: Well, that's good! That's good because we don't need you! We don't need you! All those words you said, those were mine.
Jack: Yeah, but you never had the guts to put them across yourself, did ya?
David: I do now.

Matt Swetnam: The Houses of Subplot (The Bygone...
So what can we hope for, as watchers of television? There are some shows that have indeed captured the alternating excitements and longueurs of life in a way that the metronomic Downton Abbey has not. The Wire did, of course, though it is unfair to expect any other television show to approach its blisteringly-perfect mastery of form. Beyond The Wire, most of the contemporary dramas we are left...

Possibly the most disturbingly flattering idea...
Or at least Clint Eastwood’s and Dustin Lance Black’s big fat gay Hoover.
Which, let’s face it, is really Hoover anyway.
i don’t do drag though.

You were the last thing I saw before I flew Before I stepped up and stood, gazing through The men, the metal, the Mediterranean Forgetting it all in visions of you. “Go!” I half stumbled, half jumped Was half pushed off the solid floor The wind, my exposed face The cold night air, free fall. Dark shapes far below Vertical wind blowing up Gun strapped to my back. I should pull the...
What a crappy Sunday this has turned out to be.

I know Buck is now with all the other members of Easy, as well as his wife Donna. But I think of the members of Easy still on earth - Malark in particular, who really loved Buck - and I just hope they are okay and safe in the knowledge that Buck is in a better place.
I can’t take thinking this thought! Malarkey ;_;

Tumblr, your situation for all things British is flattering and all, but our shit-to-gold ratio on TV is exactly the same as yours.
actually don’t you guys only have two channels? ;)
The BBC and ITV do us just fine! I mean, there’s some nonsensical talk of introducing a BBC-2 (in colour, even), but I can’t imagine it’ll ever catch on.

My life.

I’m actually reblogging this just to laugh at Problem #25. It’s like if I said “America has a magical channel called HBO where shows like Band of Brothers and The Wire originated. The UK has ITV, which boasts The Only Way Is Essex and The Jeremy Kyle Show.” (Respectively, those are a British version of...

The Los Baños Rescue Raid: February 23, 1945, Los Baños, Luzon
“I doubt that any airborne unit in the world will ever be able to rival the Los Baños prison raid. It is the textbook airborne operation for all ages and all armies.”—Colin Powell
[The following is an excerpt from an article I wrote in 2007 subsequently published in the 511th association newsletter.]
The 11th had...

What I expect to see in Downton s3
Now that the States has caught up with the UK, I’m free to hope for or expect:
The return of the entail/Cora’s money question, perhaps facilitated by Grandmama Levinson. The kind of thing that could add a new wrinkle to the apparently settled Matthew-Mary question. Will Matthew be happy being a Prince Consort if Mary becomes Queen in her own right?
The Troubles. I think it’s...
