Need some House of Cards icons? Why yes, I do.

So I was terribly disappointed tonight to find that while I thought I had the second House of Cards trilogy DVD, I don't. It turns out that it's unavailable through Netflix at the moment, which explains why I have the first and third DVDs. Luckily for those of you who don't like it when Elaby makes the sadface, the second DVD is available to watch immediately on the Netflix site, so I watched the first episode.

First, of course, Urquhart is evil and wonderful, and his sort of evil and wonderful can only be augmented by a little helping of guiltguiltguilt. Stamper, again, makes me squee with Colin Jeavons love. I adore his acting style; he just has the best expressions.

But holy cow, Nicholas Farrell is in this! I totally love him! This is, I'll note, the second time that I've gone "OMG HORATIO!" while watching a movie he randomly shows up in (he was in Jericho, too) and caitirin says "What? No!" and we go back and forth a few minutes with the "Horatio!" "No way!" "It's Horatio, I swear!" "What are you talking about?!" before we figure out that she means Horatio (Hornblower) and I mean Horatio (of Elsinore). His name is Mycroft in this, David Mycroft, which amuses me to no end. But he's all tiny and young, and his wife leaves him and he gets mugged, and some nice pretty guy at a club vouches for him so he can come in, and then proceeds to take him home:

David: My life is crap. My house stinks of betrayal.
Nice Pretty Guy: *touches his face* You really do need some TLC, don't you?
David: !! But I-- I'm not-- I haven't since school!
NPG: It's okay. We can just cuddle if you want.
David: *wibbles* I would really like that ;_;

I'm sure it's going to end horribly, but awww. I've never seen him in anything where I didn't want to squish him with hugs. Horatio! Antonio! ... pathetic dude in Jericho! And now David Mycroft.

This calls for a Nicholas Farrell icon. I have two, surprisingly enough.
