I'm kinda glad that Lisa Edelstein did not get that role in Desperate Housewives. Because I heart both Lisa and Felicity, and I simply cannot imagine anyone else playing their roles in the shows. Can you imagine any other actress playing Cuddy the way Lisa does? The reason Cuddy is so awesome is because Lisa is awesome (and she's written awesomely, that too, but someone needs to portray that awesomeness on-screen). Housewives, of course, would've given her a bigger role, but Felicity kicks ass as Lynette - even when her storyline goes nowhere, like it did in S2.

I saw Three Stories. I knew it was good, but dude. Did not expect it to be *this* good. There will be coherence later.

Say what you will about Aaron Sorkin, and I certainly have a few problems with him/his style, but he'll always have a place in my heart because he gave us Lisa, Felicity, and Allison Janney.

I'm still disappointed by the fact that Hugh didn't get a nomination - none of the other actors get enough screentime for them to be even considered.

I would expect nothing less from her. And why do a lot of Lisa's characters bear the 'slightly crazy' tag? LOL

Srsly. She's smart. She can act. She's pretty. She looks awesome and cool even when she's wearing something weird and has just been fugged. I love her.
