Lake Placid Skater's Complete Randomness

NOBODY IS JADED ABOUT SUPERNATURAL AS MUCH AS THE CAST OF SUPERNATURAL

Quite rightly, Hugh didn’t want Hastings to be a comedy character – a straight man, if you like – because he thought, as I did, that his character was there to represent the audience in the story. That meant we had to find a way of making sure that Hastings was never allowed to look like a complete fool. To help him with this, Hugh developed a dead-pan expression to convey to the audience that Hastings was someone who may not have been hugely intelligent but nevertheless represented the ordinary man. As Hugh put it himself at the time, ‘One of Hastings’ functions is to elucidate what is going on in Poirot’s mind.’ One way Hugh decided to do that was to use the phrases ‘Good heavens’ and ‘Good Lord’ regularly, as a gently ironic commentary on his attitude to Poirot. Was he truly amazed? Or was he actually making fun of the great detective? Whatever the truth, it was a wonderful device, and it worked. The more upright and sensible Hastings became, the more it allowed me to accentuate Poirot’s foibles, the little mannerisms that I knew lay at the heart of his character. Hastings also gave me things to react against – like his love of his dark-green, open-top Lagonda car, for example, as well as his delight in the English countryside and sport, especially golf. — «Poirot and me» by David Suchet

Good lord. ;) 

I get angry when I see that “Many Emotions of Mr Spock” poster. It just fuels people’s false belief that Spock is totally emotionless except while drugged. He suppresses them, but they are not absent. Here are some gifs of Spock’s real emotions peeking through.

Probably as close to a watchable hip hop on ice as we can get
