next_to_normal* It appears that jettisoning Brody has not managed to improve Homeland. Well, then. I'm still going to watch the first episode (or I guess the first two, since it's a double-header premiere) to see for myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is it for me.
* My bb Aaron Tveit is going to London to star in Assassins.
* Joaquin Phoenix is definitely not playing Doctor Strange. (Ethan Hawke probably isn't, either.)
* Lin-Manuel Miranda is writing and starring in a musical about Alexander Hamilton? LOL that is so random I kinda want to see it.
* Laura Benanti talks about her stint on Nashville, which began in this week's ep.
* Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie are doing a British TV show together.
* The definitive history of The West Wing is fairly epic. I am most fascinated by the maps of the walk-and-talks, in which it becomes clear that these people frequently walked around in circles or took a much longer route than necessary in order to stay moving for the entire scene, lol. (Perhaps, like Sam, they were navigating by the North Star.)
* Is Twin Peaks coming back in some form or is David Lynch just fucking with us?
* Here's the first trailer for Sutton Foster's new series, Younger.
* Anna Gunn talks about Gracepoint. I watched the first ep, and while I love Gunn and many of the performances are great, it's pretty much a shot-for-shot remake of Broadchurch, which I have already seen. At some point, it's supposed to deviate and (possibly) have a different ending, but I think I'll wait until it's all aired and see if people think the deviations are worth watching for.
* Robert and Susan Downey are endlessly adorable and I totally ship them.
* Producer Elwood Reid talks about the season (and possibly series) finale of The Bridge. At times, this was a great show, but it also was just as often not great, and by the end, I found myself watching almost out of obligation more than anything, so I'm not sure I'd be disappointed if it doesn't get a third season.
* John Oliver definitely commits random acts of journalism with Last Week Tonight.
