Honestly, I'm amused he chose to share a photo of his foot with fans. And this is the man who has con-related stage fright? :)

(more and more I think that not all that much actual acting went into Jack - I could hear Jack in some of that note)

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Poor thing.

Oh dear. Feet are such techy things. We rely on them for so much and if we mistreat them they tell us aaalll about it. I just feel thankful I have sensible women in my family who all wear boring, flat, comfortable shoes. We are too practical not to.

Wish I was over there to bathe his poor feet in comfrey tea. He'd have to wait until the flesh wounds had healed properly - not good on open flesh as it makes it heal too fast - but that is how I mended my broken shoulder (I fell out of a train on Charing Cross Station) twice as fast as it should have been.

Not that I think RDA buggered up his feet by wearing high heels.

*giggles* Oh, the mental image there...

Poor guy; he really does sound tired of the ordeal, and I don't blame him. Especially when things are supposed to be getting better!

His feet look like my grandma's.

That sorta freaks me out.

As for B7 - No, no, NO! to a remake.

That lot have been talking about it for years and have made a hash of the audio dramas they have done. They should stay as they are, in the past even if the sets are wobbly.

As a Chalk Pit worshiper I am somewhat pleased to know most of them are so landfilled or eroded the couldn't use them any more. At least the old sacred places are safe.

Meep! was kind of my reaction to the B7 news too. I'm afraid I can't be too hopeful.

What's B7 without Paul Darrow and Jacqueline Pearce?

BSG actually found some great actors, but they put them to bad use. Perhaps it's not too much to hope that a new B7 could find good actors and put them to good use. I'm not getting my hopes up--but I shouldn't be getting yours down.

There are good actors these days! Some even have charisma, which is what I'd saw Paul Darrow and Jacqueline Pearce had in spades. I think John Barrowman's got it, though in a different way; his is more charm and less intensity. While I'm on Torchwood, actually, Burn Gorman is a tremendous actor, though he doesn't really have the looks one might want for a lead for something like B7; he might be a really effective bad guy. (Travis? The first Travis didn't impress me much, and the second was downright laughable at times.) Doctor Who has had some good guest stars, but often they don't get to show off their acting chops as much as one might want; they are, after all, competing with special effects, a big blue box, and David Tennant (who also has quite a bit of charm). I'm trying to think what other British actors I know, but the others I know have been on American tv, playing Americans! (Or Capricans, in the case of Jamie Bamber.) James Callis is quite good, and quite wasted on BSG.

Maybe they'll find some unknown!

Now you've actually got me hoping...wow.

I sure feel for him, too. And being an active guy, it must be extra hard to be still for as long as he has to be after the surgeries (this is the second one, right? He wrote about the other one last fall, if I remember correctly.)

I note that one comment here notes that he seems to sound a lot like Jack, so maybe RDA didn't act too much to play Jack. I know someone who has met him and gotten to talk to him a few times, and it bothers her when people say that, because she says RDA in person is quite different from Jack. So I just thought I'd add that, for those of us who are curious as to what RDA is "really like".

It might be interesting to be his physical therapist, don't you think?!

RDA feet! You are amazing.

Thankfully, my toes don't look like those toes. :0)

How interesting to see his feet and yes, they are mightily messy. My foot right now is still the lovely betadine stain (I"m not allowed to get it wet at all until the stitches come out), and it's all bandaged up and there's a hole in the bottom, or so I've been told. I've not taken the bandage off to look and I'm not going to, either. ;p I think RDA's feet beat mine feet hands down.

You know the really sad thing? I got the exact same cap on my computer.

Awww... Mac is so adorable. ;) And yay, you are officially more pathetic than I am. I don't have this cap. ;) Heh. Although I might have saved it just now... I'm so sad.

Hey! What's the time in the UK? 5 min to your birthday? So let me be the first, Happy Birthday, pepper!! You should go to bed so you have lots of energy for tomorrow. :) Have an awesome day!

Meh, my feet have always been fracked up, but no surgery, knock wood. It's a genetic thing and there's stuff that can be done to fix them, but a podiatrist didn't feel the reward was worth the pain.

Also, I've spent a couple of days in a hyperbaric chamber for the bends. Pretty much a crashing bore and having to breath through a mask like Darth Vader.

pshshsh... pshshshs

Luke, I am your father

Yeah, the nurses just rolled their eyes ;)

Does anyone know why RDA would get some good out of being in such a chamber? Just curious.
