Huge linkspam

* "This will be the last season of Dexter, we promise."

* Lots of casting announcements for Downton Abbey. Also, who ELSE is leaving the show. This cast is dropping like flies, aren't they?

* New Catching Fire poster featuring Effie Trinket, and one with Caesar Flickerman.

 * The Mindy Project and several other Fox shows have been renewed. Mindy seems to be still trying to figure itself out, but I think there's a good show in there once the kinks are worked out.

* The American Gavin and Stacey remake (which is apparently called Friends and Family) will star Alexis Bledel and Jason Ritter.

* Relevant only to me, really, but if you're in DC, you should check it out: If/Then starring Idina Menzel is doing an out of town tryout at the National Theater! \o/

* Awesome nature gifs.

* What is with the UK and people dressing up like Batman? At least this one apprehended a criminal instead of trying to scale Buckingham Palace.

* What to name your kid to help them get into Yale. (Also: kids born in 1994 are in college now? OMG I FEEL OLD.)

ETA: And Amanda Seyfried wants to play Glinda in Wicked. Unlike most Hollywood actors, though, she seems to have a realistic sense of her limitations.

ETA 2: And a new Iron Man 3 trailer! SO EXCITE.

Heh, just the other day a friend and I were wondering what happened to Alexis Bledel's career.

Speaking of Rory, oh noes about the names! Samuel, Peter, and Charles are like my favorite boy names. I guess my unborn daughters will have to pull the weight for my lazy, good for nothing unborn sons. Lol.

(Actually, I'm not a huge fan of any of those girls' names, so it looks like all my progeny are doomed to academic mediocrity.) ;)

Ah ha! I misinterpreted the ven diagram -- I thought those were the names that were popular but not Yale-worthy. Heh.
