He pretty much owns the British government. He is an unscrupulous, unprincipled danger to society. Both DH and I thought that Magnusson was Murdoch to a T. He did a recent publicity stunt in which he sent free copies of The Sun (horrid trashy newspaper that still features half nude women on page 3) to pretty much every household in the country. He even got PM David Cameron, Deputy PM Nick Clegg and Opposition Leader Ed Milliband to be photographed with it. Milliband faced a huge backlash from the Labour party over it - The Sun is hated for its persistence on keeping Page 3 girls (huge campaign about it) and the fan blaming and persecution of victims of the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster (Where 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death in a football stadium after fatal errors by the police). Honestly, I could go on! But I won't bore you any more about British politics. Thought it might be useful to put into context that the power Magnusson is portayed in having is very very real.
I am well and truly Sherlocked and a member of the JohnLock conspiracy. I've even convinced my DH about JohnLock, we were discussing it last night and he suggested the endgame would be very incidental (in that a romantic relationship between Holmes and Watson would be revealed as an casual aside). That would be fantastic as the series isn't meant to be completely about their relationship.
And it inspired me to write non ENT fanfic which I honestly thought would never happen!!
What I wouldn't give to have an Episode of Enterprise where Trip somehow manages to loses his uniform and gets covered in Nutella.
Aeryn: And you say you want to go back to that place of pain and suffering!
John: Well you guys don't have chocolate!
