David Suchet to play Thrawn.
Well, he could. After all, Poirot (as Suchet plays him) is *very* like Thrawn. Methodical, observer of human nature (Miss Marple counts, too, of course). Meticulous. Not quite as fastidious, of course. But Thrawn with mustaches would have been vaguely disturbing.
Hastings is Pellaeon, of course.
I rather think Edward Hardwicke would make a smashing Bel Iblis. (The second Watson to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes). And, really, am I the only one who can see Sarah Sutton as Mon Mothma?
Of course, picking a Mara Jade would be difficult. I'm not certain you wouldn't have to get some unknown. Or maybe the insane genetic experiment between Nicola Walker, Fiona Gillies and Diana Rigg. *pauses*
Where's Sinister when you need genetically engineered redheads?
In other news, I miss Shai, and I miss Drea.
And I've filed myself out of my job at the County. I'm too damned efficient. So I finish three days early. Sigh. Maybe I'll get the rest of the week off, though. I could certainly use it.
I believe I've mentioned this. My parents bought a house. Yes. Imagine my profound shock and relief.
So, we're packing up for moving. And there's a LOT of packing to be done. Dad's a packrat, you see. Yes. I get it from him. Shut up, Drea. My floor WAS clean, damnit.
Been reading Zahn's second grouping of Star Wars books. I'm disturbed that writers between his original set and this one have fucked around Luke's character so much. I mean, hello? There's this conversation he has on Jomark in the SECOND BOOK where he basically refutes everything he's doing NOW... Yeah, 'cause, he'd've forgotten the shit he and C'Baoth talked about. Yeah.
I'm still amused by Mara the Eternal Mary Sue. (And Thrawn's back from the dead. Hellooo, Mr. Sue. Would you like some chocolate? A cupcake? Put your feet up?) Karrde has back-tracked, trying to pretend he isn't one, but he keeps being in the Right Place at the Right Time.
See, Han, Leia, and Luke can get away with this. They were canon.
Besides, they get damaged and screwed around.
Wait. That's John. Never mind.
Anyway. My point is that the Heros in the SW universe are all Very... Lucky. And this, of course, leads to much rolling of the eyes. Not that it's Zahn's fault. You can only go so far with the source material.
While reading, however, I've hit upon something. There's a scene with a riot storming the Trade Center, or Diplomatic Center or something. And it's very similar to one I read once in a Next Gen novel. My brain is pegging it as Gulliver's Fugitives, but I think it's wrong.
I should ask Bev. Hrm.
I've been listening to Agatha Christie again. Lots of Miss Marple, and some Poroit. I think I've nearly run out of those. She's a very avid fan of insanity, I've noticed.
I was saddened to realise I'd guessed most of the truth in 'Third Girl' before Poirot did (somewhere about halfway through, I think).
Wow. Mom just told me. We move out July 3. Sheesh. Guess I'll be packing tomorrow. I should start getting my bookshelves emptied. Wow. My books all packed is a frightening idea.
I... I have to go contemplate this now....
