      Please do excuse my French; I've been trying vainly for about an hour, and I'm ticked off. I've read the sidebar, I just want advice - is there a legal way to do this or...? It's not like Marvel fans only exist in America, I mean, they have two Brits in the freaking main cast, I reckon they should be aware of the existence of other nationalities by now. Isn't it good if more people watch it and decide to watch the show as a result? Anyway, my forehead hurts from frowning for ages at my screen - I'm going to go calm myself down with a cuppa. Sorry about the rant.
