fiat_knox | CSI:NY "Sanguine Love"

I'm just watching the CSI:NY vampire episode.

Oh, boy.

I have a question to my fellow Brits. What's up with the casting of Brits as the villains by Yanks?

I mean, I'm all up for it. I'd love the idea of walking up to some passing American tourists and going "Hi. I'm a Brit," and watch them all scatter to the four winds screaming and peeing themselves in raw, naked fear ... but then where'd be the fun in that?

Also, the vampire stuff is making me cringe just watching it. It's like watching Tom Hanks' Mazes & Monsters for the very first time. They even had the obligatory scene where two of the series stalwarts stand around looking confused. "What happened to playing stickball?" one of them goes.

Seriously."H'mm, what shall we do today. Play stickball, or exsanguinate some pretty blonde? Stickball ... exsanguination ... oh, decisions, decisions ... there's only one way to find out which is better ..."
