Sir Patrick Stewart is currently Macbeth-ing it up on my TV screen. He will never not be incredibly talented and ridiculously attractive. Also he is a feminist who speaks out against domestic violence. WHY IS HE SO GREAT? Picard is the greatest Trek captain forever and ever and ever, the end.

The lady playing Lady Macbeth has glorious cheekbones and has reminded me that I need to make a post about my ~thing for cheekbones sometime. She is very intense and awesome--she is getting into her lines, I am telling you. Also, her dress has just slipped down so far that I swear I just saw nipple. Is that allowed on PBS?

The production design is gorgeous--WWII-inspired and creepy as all get out and cool beyond words. The Weird Sisters as played by creepy nurses! EXCELLENCE! Basically, it's the coolest version of Macbeth ever. Sorry, James Marsters. Even if you ever get around to making yours, it will not be as cool as SIR PATRICK STEWART IN A WWII NIGHTMARE WORLD.

I am sad I will never be an actress for this one reason--I would love to do Shakespeare. HIS LANGUAGE, Y'ALL. How could it not be the most fun thing in the world to memorize and deliver? And there are such excellent lady parts! Portia or Beatrice or Desdemona or Lady Macbeth, y'all!

patrick stewart: the mold from which the rest of guy-kind was taken. i am somewhat biased, though. my childhood was at least 46% star trek.
this is in my netflix queue! but i also share this queue with 29 other girls. so it may not come for a while.

oh man, i was in an ensemble dedicated to shakespeare last year and it was the best thing i've ever been part of, i swear.

(have you seen david tennant's hamlet?)
