Hello all! Damianista welcomes you to a NEW Fan Story Tuesday!
Today’s story comes from Olga, a wonderful old-timer in Damian Lewis fandom! Her first “meeting” goes way back to Brides, a lovely movie Damian made back in 2004, a movie that I also deeply love, and the rest is history š
Hello – Holliedazzle here! Welcome, one and all, to the Life with Charlie Crews series wrap up! In this post, we’ll all be weighing in with our highlights (and lowlights) of the entire series.Ā Let’s jump right in, shall we?
Damianista:
At the center of Life lies the heart and mind of a man who gets his life back, along with a $50M settlement and his LAPD badge, after 12 years in prison for a murder he did not commit.Ā Charlie Crews is quirky and charming and funny, but vulnerable and evenĀ sinister at times. He’s a walking proof of the wide range Damian Lewis can deliver as an actor. No wonder New York MagazineĀ calls him āthe you-canāt take-your-eyes-off-him starā in Life. Damian takes aĀ good network show and elevates it to another level.
While Billions Season 3 shoot is starting in New York next month, we still have so much to talk about Season 2. So please stay tuned for our Billions posts discussing different aspects of our favorite show in the coming weeks and months as we follow the new season shoot as closely as possible!
Now, it is no secret I am fascinated by Bobby Axelrodās backstory in Billions, in particular his family background. A few glimpses we had into the life of young Bobby in Season 1 made me think hard and deep about his past and write a two-part post here and here asking a number of questions I hoped to get answers for in Season 2. And one question I was dying to know the answer for was as follows — I copy and paste from my earlier post:
āSo it was NO surprise for us when Axe revealed his dad ānever came backā in Episode 11Ā Magical Thinking. Still, we donāt know if his dad went to Vietnam and never came back or if he just left home and never came backā¦ Even though each scenario isĀ brutal in its own way, dad is a hero in the former scenario andĀ he is certainly not one in the latter.ā
Season 2 did not only answer this question but also provided rich material to discuss how the heavy childhood trauma Bobby went through ultimately shaped him as a man, a husband, and a father. And here is my effort not to make a case for Bobby Axelrod but to understand why he does what he does.Ā Continue reading “Bobby Axelrod: The Boy Whose Dad Never Came Back, Part III”

Happy Birthday, Helen!
This is a collective effort from Fan Fun team in throwing a birthday party for Helen on the blog. Hope you all enjoy it!
It’s quite easyĀ to figure out why Damian fell in love with his better half: Beauty, talent and brains, a rare combination, seem to have come together and stolen our guy’s heart. The couple has been together for more than a decade, married for ten years and going as strong as ever. We wished them a Happy Anniversary more than a month ago here.Continue reading “Happy Birthday, Helen McCrory! TOP DOZEN Reasons to Love Her”
Last we left, our couple had just met across a table and over files at CIA offices. Since then, Carrie Mathison has continued getting to know this mysterious Marine, Sgt. Nicholas Brody. Thanks to well-placed surveillance, sheĀ continues to get a head start on upcoming events by spending a few nights with her subject. Unbeknownst to him of course, but nights spent, nonetheless.
