Richard Armitage Legenda 95: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

Another abbreviated edition due to circumstances — will be back next week going full bore.

Richard Armitage as John Porter in Strike Back 1.5.

Origins? We called it just plain Strike Back and liked it well enough

The big news of the week was probably the decision by Cinemax to air the first series of Strike Back episodes with Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln.

• Perry and her readers speculate on why.
• And some more evidence.
• Here’s the trailer, but Perry’s holding out for the huge posters. Maybe one across from her apartment to look in her window.

For perhaps obvious reasons

• This.
