    The Dresden Files

    So far, so good. Remains to be seen how it goes as series over the long haul, though. They're building a kinda interesting collection of recurring characters ...... well, what could turn out to be that, at any rate. I think the only non-regular who has actually shown up more than once so far...

    EpDis: In The Beginning

    Yeah, I liked the Vir-Lennier deadpan comedy team. :D Going back and forth with stuff about: "They never tell us what's going on" .... "until it's too late" and ending saying "It makes me nervous" in absolute unison without looking at each other until after they hear the other say that line in...

    EpDis: In The Beginning

    I agree with the last sentence that some of their worst moments were times when they tried too hard to be funny. However, I also always found plenty of humor in the show that just flowed from the characters (some more than others). So while one thing about which Cartagia was absolutely correct...

    Dubbed Voiceover on "Points of Departure" ??

    And the fact that what's in PoD still doesn't match what's in ItB makes it extremely unlikely that what's there now is an after-the-fact change to the dialog.

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Do we know that he (Boxlietner) was batting "off-hand"? Not all right handed people *bat* right handed and not all left handed people *bat* left handed. It is a little bit like what you see with hockey players: the majority of them play "left handed" (in terms of which way they hold the...

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Remember that Sheridan was also a fighter jockey. That takes reflexes, eye-hand coordination, and the ability to track and predict (in real time) trajectories. It doesn't surprise me that the character would be a decent hitter ...... at least off of a machine or other "recreational" players'...

    Andreas Katsulas and the Oscar 2007 memorial reel

    Just playing Devil's Advocate for a moment: One could just as easily argue that the only reason that the "one-armed man" was so iconic was because of The Fugitive TV show, and all of the references to it in the decades before the movie was made. I was disappointed that Katsulas was not...

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Not necessarily with the cast involved. Or, alternatively ...... They point was to show the character engaging in the passtime of playing a sport that he had played since childhood. So they chose one that the actor in question had actually played since childhood. Better that than have him...

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    The other side of that coin is: The exact reasons that you give for switching those two cast members not being insurmountable even with ACtA ...... are also exactly why those two actors could conceivable pick up the roles a decade later and not have their aging be a particular problem...

    Watching B5 Again

    I picked those actors precisely because they never did get pidgeonholed. They all played a wide variety of characters. The vast majority of roles don't come with any accent requirements. It's not like Nicholson started out doing different accents and voices for every character and then...

    Watching B5 Again

    No, it's not just the big names that can get away with it. When has Pat Hingle ever sounded any different? When has Jack Warden ever sounded like anything other than Jack Warden? Or Florence Halop? These are not "BIG", household names to the world at large. They are, however, very well...

    Watching B5 Again

    I agree with Lyta. Some actors don't do accents, always have some of the same of vocal mannerisms all of the time ......... *and* are very good actors who play very different characters. For a couple high profile examples, see Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart. Or are you going to argue that...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    In theory there is certainly enough story material for such a series. However, in practice I would be extremely surprised if any collection of network suits (from any network) ever decided to pick up an entire series where *none* of the characters would be human (or even human-looking, such as...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Re: Actual B5:TLT News Of course, a Teep War themed disk would very naturally include: Bester Lyta Garibaldi and, from we have been given to understand, Lennier And possibly others on the side. (Ivanova?) That's assuming, naturally, actor availability and inclination. I wouldn't mind...

    Dead Like ME

    I haven't seen those "clean" versions, but ...... There were certain scenes in that show that I can't imagine working nearly as well with all of the "language" removed. For example, the scene where Ray is explaining to George his line of reasoning about how and why men are pigs and women let...

    The Official BSG S3 Spoiler Thread

    We're not talking about speculation. The fact that we're talking about a "leak" that hasn't been verified is still well beyond my taste for spoilers. But then I'm the kind of spoiler-phobe that avoids the next-week-on promos.

    The Official BSG S3 Spoiler Thread

    Any chance of separating threads discussing "Spoilers for aired (in the US) episodes" and "Spoilers"? This had been chugging along nicely in the former mode, but seems to have started to veer toward the latter.

    The Official BSG S3 Spoiler Thread

    So we are discounting the possibility that scale of the loop referred to in the "all happened before and will happen again" routines is all the way out at Big Bang level? I have been wondering if that's where they're headed. That would be a matter of every cycle of Big Bang - expanding...

    The Official BSG S3 Spoiler Thread

    No, there have been hints of that going back to the first season. The cylon-telling-Starbuck-she-has-a-destiny routine goes back to when she was interogating him on Galactica in S1. Plus, although I can't quote any passages right now, it seems like we've heard some snippets of Colonies...
