Normally I would say that The English is not my cup of tea, but I do love Emily Blunt.
ReplyDeleteAnd that cast is so stellar and amazing you just have a feeling they wouldn't say yes if it wasn't good.
DeleteI like Colm Meaney as an actor but I really only know him from the Star Trek franchise.
ReplyDeleteI watched him in a lot of films, especially European ones and Irish dramas. I just don't see him as regal so it will be hard imagining him as Francis, especially as he was a womanizer and a hot charmer. Hardly Colm, right? LOL Colm Feore would've been more believable or some French actor, maybe. Waiting to see who will play the kids.
Deletesound interesting background of 1890...
ReplyDeleteTotes!
DeleteI do love me some Emily! It will be fun seeing the trail of destruction she leaves behind for the man who may have killed her son!
ReplyDeleteI hope she has a nice little romp with Rafe, I certainly would....
DeleteThe English looks interesting! Bye the way i know Emily Blunt is a successful Hollywood actress. Many google-news claim that does she English or American. Does it important?
ReplyDeleteShe is English but lives in America with her husband John Krasinski and daughters Violet and Hazel.
DeleteGosh..Miles O'Brien must have doubled his weight!
ReplyDeleteHe ain't a fresh flower any more.
DeleteBoth sound great. Love Samantha Morton she was fab as Alpha in Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteI have not watched episodes with her as I quit after they killed Ricky. But I loved her in Harlots.
