I hope they release some diaries too. I would love to see how they interact with each other when they're just goofing off. My most favorite video was of Lenora, Russell and Aidan dancing. I died laughing when Aidan and Russell started dancing and doing lifts, .

Aidan hadn't done much when he started BH so yeah, he was the weakest link. Russell, on the other hand, has always been a critics' darling having done theater and being loved most notably of History Boys, etc. I however think that when Aidan did shots with Russell, he somehow upped his game. It was only in the later part of the 2nd season and the entire 3rd season that Aidan got really confident and better as an actor when he did solo scenes. Btw, kudos to Russell for tweeting his congratulations for BH's s5. That's classy right there. 

Yeah, the dynamic is different but it's ok. Neither is better nor worse than the other. I've mentioned this on one of my earlier posts. With George and Mitchell, there was a demonstrative tenderness there and that comes about after years of friendship. With Hal and Tom, there is that sweet innocence of a new friendship. Also, with George and Mitchell, since they were so touchy-feely and almost flirtatious, you couldn't help but go fan-fic and think, "get in bed already!" in fact, the show played on that too with Annie telling them that one time and that scene on the couch where Mitchell gets George's glasses by mistake, . With Tom and Hal, my mind doesn't go there at all. It's a more masculine bromance which is fine. I love the original room mates and the current. As I've said before, I deal with the transition the way I deal with Doctor Who's regenerations. I just make space for them in my heart.
