The original mini-series was good. Why mess with it?!?! That role is SOOOOO evil. I'm glad Taylor isn't doing it.

Really? I’m with Kayla on this one. I think he’ll be great! That character was the best part of the original ABC miniseries, in my opinion. And we know he can play dark AND seductive.

I think at this point, streaming and premium cable are the way to go for actors. The lines between network, cable and streaming are so blurred that it’s surely not seen as a step down anymore. And he’s known for TV anyway. He might not get offered big-screen roles. Though I get the feeling Alexander just does what appeals to him personally. That’s the only way to explain why, after winning an Emmy for Big Little Lies, he’d do that role in the Showtime series with Kirsten since

Spoiler:

I’d love to see Taylor play a really evil guy like this, a seductive villain. I don’t know if he could pull it off, since he’s so earnest, but I’d like to see him experiment with it. Kayla, why wouldn’t you want to see him play this part? I’m curious.

Oh I think he'll be good in it, I'm just a little put off by the CBS connection after what CBS did to Under the Dome not that long ago.

But, yeah, also kind of the why mess with it kind of feeling too. But then again everything is rebooted.

After seeing him on True Blood... he's so the guy!

The character is literally Satan. I don't want to see Taylor be that bad.

I mean my favorite character was always Stu. I don't know who is playing him but I'd rather see Taylor play the "hero" character.

The number of times I've watched Battleship all the way through is like two but I always love dropping in on this movie (it's on TNT right now) and it's always so funny to see Jesse and Taylor together post FNL.

Also, sometimes I forget just how perfect Taylor was back then. I mean I prefer him with age, I think he's aging gracefully but he was so gorgeous back in 2010-2013-ish.

That's an understatement.

He's still got that baby fat a little bit and just looks so adorable yet smoking hot.

And oh, hey, always forget Josh Pence is in this too randomly.

**SouthernSweetieTX** · 09-30-2019, 08:07 PM

He did look really great in Battleship.

**worthyoflove** · 10-01-2019, 05:19 PM

The best parts of Battleship are the beginning and end, it loses its away a bit in the middle.

Really?!? How did I not know this? I haven’t watched it in a while so I guess I didn’t know him then.

I saw this today. She’s so pretty.

In the cover story, she talks mostly fashion and politics. She doesn’t mention Battleship.

Rihanna Talks Fenty, That Long-Awaited Album, and President Trump

I'm not even sure Josh says more than just like, "Roger that"...I also always forget he's plays opposite Armie Hammer in The Social Network as essentially the stand in for the twin but they do give him one speaking line in a club too.

Rihanna looks great did you see her segment with Seth Myers were they got drunk together? So cute!
