Meanwhile, Dichen Lachman is apparently going to be a regular is season 2 of the US version of Being Human. I watched up through the second episode of the UK version before I couldn't take the universe (especially women's pain and experiences, because how important can those be, right?) being all about George's Man Pain, even though there were other things I liked.
I've heard mixed things about the US version, but Lachman was one of the few goos things about Dollhouse and she and her character were the only reason I stuck with it as long as i did, until I got to the episode with her origin an it pissed me off so muxh that the rest of the series could have been nothing but the Sierra and Victor Show, and I probably still wouldn't have watched. But I suppose Lachman as a vampire is worth checking it out. I just need to decide if i'm going to watch season one first.
It's ok though, because Starz has cancelled Camelot, freeing me up a TV spot. Camelot's cancelation is actually a relief? I probably would have watched season 2 despite my resolutions and been consistently annoyed at how it had interesting elements in it's take on the elements and how their setup could have been brilliantly deconstructive if it hadn't been so hung up on The Great Tales Of Men (and it actually did address some of the issues with the legends, especially Ygraine and Ygraine/Uther and Uther in general, it just...all got mixed in with the Fail).
On the subject of Camelot, let me take a moment to rant a bit about how this was treated as an inconvenient roadblock in The Path of True and Epic Love:
