• Still on my mystery kick, I felt like saying (probably again) that Mrs. Oliver makes Poirot 100x awesomer. XD The more Zoe Wanamaker can join the cast, the better. Mrs. Oliver is the perfect snarky, slightly scattered, foil for Poirot.
  
  
  
  
• Out of viewing material mystery-wise, I watched a Jeremy Brett episode of Sherlock Holmes. It only confirmed my notion that Sherlock Holmes is okay, but I really am not interested in that character much at all. The whole mythology just doesn't appeal to me. (It's a bit like Superman in that way - doesn't matter much who plays the roles or writes it - I just can't get excited about that story.)
  
  
• DW-related, all I can say about that DT Rex clip is it's probably a very good thing the show got trashed. D: (Oh, the comments on youtube. No. Just no.)

"Nerdy guy gets the hot hot girl" is one trope I'm not fond of. Has it ever been the reverse? Without first transforming the girl, I mean?

I don't think it has been ever in the history of the world, or if it has been I don't know about it. It drives me crazy too and is just one of many reasons I flounced so hard from that show. I will spare you all me doing the 30 Day TV Meme but if I did, "Big Bang Theory" wold be what I would put for "show you cannot stand".
