The Peacock Gobbles Up Some Double Cox!

That’s What She Said? / Seth Freilich

Trade News | October 20, 2008 | Comments (22)

I’ve been on the fence about whether I’d check out NBC’s mid-season show “Kings.” On the plus side, it stars Ian McShane. On the negative side, McShane isn’t playing everyone’s favorite cocksucker Al Swearengen, and any other McShane role is just going to pale in comparison. But now “Kings” has snagged Brian Cox, and with two fantastic actors on board, I kinda think I’m going to have to check out this modern retelling of the Bible’s King David story. But it still won’t be as good as McShane giving monologues while getting his knob gobbled.

Meanwhile, Cox has also signed on to the NBC pilot “Lost and Found.” That’s the new procedural from Dick Wolf starring Katee Sackhoff as an LAPD detective who can’t play by the rules, so she’s send to work the John and Jane Doe cases. Cox will play her old-school partner. Meh.

Penis.

BSlim, if that were true then "everything" would stand a much better chance of not sucking

*snicker snicker* Pervert.

Reminds me of the time our class was going in to write our Ornithology final, and my buddy turned to me with a straight face and said, "Psst--when you're writing the exam, make sure you don't put 'penises' instead of 'birds'"

Thanks to the pre-exam jitters, it sure seemed hilarious at the time.

Um. I believe that it's spelled *Katie Sackhoff.

If everything Brian Cox was in was good, then I should take another look at Troy and the Ringer.

Although, you make the argument he was the best part of the Ringer.

Oy, Troy is fantastic. Oh, the man candy. Oh the horror that is Brad Pitt. Oh, Brian Cox chewing scenery like nobody's business. Yeah....that movie sucked, but I'll still watch it every time it's on tv. Eric Bana and Sean Bean? YES PLEASE!

Doesn't it seem like Brian Cox should have been in a Harry Potter movie by now?

Jakes, you took the words from my mouth.

It's going to be a hard season for those shows. To be sure, they're facing some stiff competition. It would be all too easy for either one of them to get the shaft and be replaced by some kind of [insert phallic imagery here].

I probably could've made that last longer with better planning. Oh well.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at October 20, 2008 2:42 PM

It's not the only thing that could be longer! Whooooo!

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at October 20, 2008 3:28 PM

It'd be cool if it was Dr Brian Cox in it. That'd be watchable.

Hey Meaux, where did you take your Ornithology class? Come spring, I'm into my graduate bird classes down here, and just wanted to see what's doing at the other colleges.

As for the season - I had no idea that there was anything on the regular channels besides political debates. (Insert some sort of phallic-related joke using the "drill, baby, drill" line...insert drill...heh...heh-heh...)

Also, why is no one nothing that Brain Cox and Al "God rest the souls of that poor family... and pussy's half price for the next 15 minutes" Swearengen were both on Deadwood together?

Also, why does no one ever mention that Brian Cox was the best Hannibal Lecter ever?

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at October 20, 2008 5:42 PM

Sweetpea, it was an undergrad course at Mount Allison U. in New Brunswick (Canada, not New Jersey). Not much in Atlantic Canada for strictly bird courses, to be honest; I was in a really good animal behaviour grad program in Newfoundland where I did my seabird sex stuff, though.

meaux, I knew you Newfies were into freaky stuff.

Posted by: popejenn at October 20, 2008 9:07 PM

Hey, that guy played Kate's dad on Angel. I know things.

Posted by: Lucas at October 20, 2008 9:57 PM

Damn straight, Popejenn--although I'm not an official Newf myself, I did live there for a few years and have had the honour of being Screeched In. I can attest that they are into some freaky stuff, and it's awesome!

Posted by: meaux at October 20, 2008 10:12 PM

meaux, I found that the Newfoundland people among the most hilarious and nice people...if a little strange and hard to understand with their crazy accents! I've been a slave to the west of Canada...and have only visited Halifax once.

Hmm...if I actually commented on what the thread was about, I think I may earn a spot in the Eloquent Eloquence. Can you imagine? A shiny shirt just for moi.

Posted by: popejenn at October 20, 2008 10:58 PM

Thanks for the reply, Meaux. Nice to know about the northern resources, but I think I'll stick with my tropical birds down here in Florida (and hopefully, eventually, along the Amazon).

Nope, Lucas, wrong actor.
