I'll be checking into rebroadcast of Blood & Iron -- thanks for the nod, and I'm glad Liz sucks less somewhere.

I have sometimes given up on expecting well written scripts and have just acknowledged that I'm going to see the movie for the creatures and other effects. Now and then I'm surprised, but not by the current Hellboy story.

Mom and I went to see it last night. Ur right the angel was excellent!
