Oh wow. I made an unintentional couplet.

Good Omens squee
More bonus Lee.

Anyway! This weekend I watched the Good Omens mini-series on Amazon Prime, and OHMY, it was DELIGHTFUL.

*flails*

My oldest fandom friend has been pimping the show and recently wrote some fic for it after a long fic-writing hiatus, and I basically watched the show due entirely to her enthusiasm for it. And it did not disappoint! Michael Sheen and David Tennant are beyond awesome in their roles as the angel and the demon (OH THE SLASH), and Michael McKean is of course wonderful in everything he does. And the kids were great too, realisitic yet still cute somehow (even though one of them is the literal son of Satan, heh).

Highly Recommend!

Just curious, has anyone read the Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman book upon which the series is based? I'm thinking of asking for it for Christmas, and I'm wondering how it compares to the show.

And as if that wasn't exciting enough, Lee appeared in Sunday night's episode of  "Watchmen," a new HBO series based upon the DC comic. He played a masked vigilante named Mister Shadow, who looks remarkably like Batman. Woot! Here are some screencaps of Lee, making your freaky roleplay fantasies come true:

His one scene was barely a two minutes long, and probably 50% of it was done with a stunt double. So I'm wondering if this is (once AGAIN) another case of him being tragically underused, or if maybe this is the start of a recurring role? Fingers crossed for the latter. (I actually sent him a tweet asking about it using the account affiliated with his website, but I'm sure he will ignore it. Argh. Let me be your pimp, Lee! USE ME!)
