When Gillian Anderson’s official account tweeted, “Media infiltrates your screens next week” just hours before the series premiere, there was a simultaneous mix of anticipation and disappointment heard around the twitterverse. Fans have been looking forward to Media’s debut scene since Anderson’s casting was announced last June and were probably hoping for at least a glimpse in episode one. Now, they would have to wait another week.
Well.
Ever heard the saying, “good things come to those who wait?” It has never been more accurate. As I teased in my advance review for the series, Anderson is somehow perfectly Lucy Ricardo…and perfectly not. I’ll save any additional word-vomiting of praise for the recap. Don’t miss it.
Yeah, Sadly, I think you’re right. It would be awesome if she get a nomination for American Gods, but her role seem too limited for that. It’s nice they chose that pic, though.
About Gillian Anderson: “An astonishing actor. We forget how good she is because she plays characters who are a bit like her. And somebody that good — somebody that brilliant — it’s so amazing. Watching her channel Lucile Ball, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe, or Judy Garland is just astounding. I think people will see sides to Gillian that they had never imagined.” Neil Gaiman (X)
