Patinkin's new show

[oldwickedsongs.livejournal.com]

A quick note I thought you might be interested in here. Mandy Patinkin looks like he has a new vehicle, he'll be in a Showtime show about the CIA and terrorism. (I knew Gideon was a spy!)


Since CBS owns Showtime, and Patinkin guest starred on Three Rivers last year, and he'll be guest starring in some other crime drama later this month- and given the fact Mandy Patinkin and CBS are notorious for kissing-and-making-up what do you think the chances of Gideon guest starring if even in the spin-off?

Also, is it just me or does anyone start humming "Love the Way You Lie" in their head when they read about Patinkin and television shows? Who's Eminem and who's Rhianna you think?

Agreed.

But there are some of us who believe the show has lost something without his character; he's by no means an easy character to appreciate. He's a more cerebral then say Rossi; and his character was presented as having 'arrived' at where the younger character, most clearly Reid- are journeying.

Now if this is a 'I prefer one character over another,' I get that too. I actually appreciate Rossi as a character and don't think a return-of-Gideon would diminish his greatness in the least.

Sorry, I realized belatedly that my comment was a bit clipped. I didn't mean to sound as if liking Gideon is WRONG. But no, as much as I've loved Mandy in other shows, I just couldn't stand Gideon. Though I confess, the more Rossi we get, the more I actively dislike Gideon.

Either way, I just don't think he'll come back, but I do think it could be very interesting to see the reaction everyone else had to Gideon. I think Reid & Rossi would be the ones who welcomed him least... Reid because he was hurt the most (I think) by Gideon's leaving, and Rossi because I honestly don't think he likes Gideon. Respects him, sure, but not like. *G*

No worries. I actually don't equate opposing comments of a character/show/actor/my grandmother's dog's breed as a personal attack.

I can and do, however, defend my boys. <33

**Ack, sorry for the typo.

Hey, if we didn't love our characters fiercely, what would be the point of watching, right? :)
