"I feel the weight of my destiny crushing me." 
Yes, I know what you mean. I've been feeling the same way, too. 
It's a terrible thing to know that you have a great destiny, yet find yourself, more often than not,  toiling amongst the mundane and banal instead of the world of true significance and import you know that you were meant for.

Hmm-m... I hereby propose a contest, Katie McGrath (Morgana) vs. Lana Parrilla (Regina Mills/Evil Queen) for the title of Sexiest & Most-moxie-filled fairy tale character on TV.
The winner faces Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan).
Hello must-see TV! 



And seriously, where has Miranda Raison been all my life? 
I mean besides in England, of course? 

I'd watched her in MI5 (Spooks) as Jo Portman, of course, but hadn't seen the Merlin episode she was in until today, "The Sword in the Stone." http://merlin.wikia.com/wiki/Miranda_Raison

Wow, she really looks good out of the espionage bureaucratic office and in leather -and with a sword!

You know, he said somewhat mischievously, not everyone can carry that off with such panache!

I first became aware of lovely and talented Lana -network webpage - in NBC's wonderful but too-short-lived Boom Town from eight years ago, where she was, yes, AWESOME, with a cast that was superb.

I have watched every single TV project Lana had ever been in, even when I wasn't crazy about the show overall, and I truly hope that with the folks behind this production and the great cast, this will be the show where Lana gets the overdue attention she deserves -love her!
