* Ellen Page came out last week, and you should watch her speech because it's amazing.

* I really liked the Transparent pilot from Amazon, and I hope it gets made into a series. Here's an interview with the creator as well as a conversation with the cast.

* Orange is the New Black has a season 2 premiere date and a teaser.

* I definitely need a big red "Get it the f*** together" button in my life.

* You can watch a new clip of Ben Kingsley's Mandarin short, All Hail the King.

* LOL at the Internet panic over an action figure possibly spoiling Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

* I really hope that Guardians of the Galaxy is as cracktastic as we're all expecting it to be.

* It would be totally unfair if President Obama gets advance episodes of Game of Thrones. (Then again, he's a busy guy. I guess he doesn't have time to read the books?)

* Karen Gillan has landed the lead role in an ABC comedy pilot.

* Shameless - which is having a fantastic season - has been renewed for a fifth.

* Alfonso Cuaron talks about Gravity and his other films.

* Zachary Levi talks about his Comic-Con-adjacent Nerd HQ.

* A Scrubs musical is coming to Broadway, but without any of the Scrubs cast and not based on the Scrubs musical episode.

* Here's a sneak peek at season 2 of The Americans.

Executive power unleashed.

Last year, I saw something about Michelle Obama requesting episodes of Downton Abbey 'early', and I kind of had to laugh at the article itself, because all of England and anyone in America who desperately wanted to see it had already found means of doing so, lol.

Yeah, but it would be really super embarrassing if Obama's own Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator caught Michelle downloading illegally. :)

Well, SHE wouldn't have to do it, lol.

Related: I was watching Craig Ferguson once and he was talking to a guest about DA, and he had been in Scotland for Christmas, and had seen the Christmas special (for S3), whereas S3 hadn't even aired yet here. And he accidentally just let the biggest spoiler drop, saying something about 'killing him offf' and it was ~AWKWARD.

Hahaha, whoops. Let that be a lesson to you: Never go to Scotland for Christmas.

But, but, we learned on West Wing that it's totally normal for Presidents to do that. ;)

Ha! Yeah, it's not the first time the Obamas have done it, either.

Uh... is it bad that I kinda want to be president just so I can get all my favorite TV early?

[jae]

You could probably get the same privilege by being a teevee exec. ;)

Yay to Karen getting a show! Boo to her having to do an American accent. Her Scottish accent is so pretty! (I say that all the time with non-US actors I like.)

I know! Karen can do a very good American accent, but whyyyyyyyy.

I'm choking.

\o/ for Karen getting her own show. Doubtful it'll be good, but hf her face being on my screen again.

[next_to_normal]

Pretty much, yeah.
