Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
To be fair, Serena on L&O isn't written consistently. She tends to have whatever opinion will allow her to argue with McCoy and can flip flop several times in one case.
This is true. The writer's didn't give her any personality at all the first season she was on, and they have only done slightly better since then.

It's not like they have a lot to work with t /snark
I can't blame the quality of the writing, when her inability to deliver a sentence you don't want to kill yourself halfway through is so apparent.
So, Halle Berry Syndrome? Except instead of a single tour-de-force, she burned up all her talent on two years of OK performances as Kate?
It really boggles the mind how someone can act, and then, not.
I was just thinking about this topic this morning. Two of my prime examples are Elliott Gould who I love in M*A*S*H and The Long Goodbye but have found him incredibly ham-handed and dull since; and Molly Ringwald who was perfect in the John Hughes movies and utterly wooden in just about everything she's done since she reached majority.

A character who had potential but, sadly, never fit into the arcs.

I'd add CALIFORNIA SPLIT and THE SILENT PARTNER to that list, but yeah. Given the former was his last serious role for Altman, and the latter, despite its low-budget Canadian roots, had a script that you'd have to be lobotomized not to recognize the worthiness of, and Gould was at a low-point at that point in his career, I'd say something happened there (I'm guessing drugs of one kind or a multiple of types).
I will say, his character appearences (THE BIG HIT and his role as Pater Geller on FRIENDS) have been a bit more vital.
Thread's been quiet lately.
You know what I think would have been cool? If, as Wesley was dying, Illyria asked if he wanted her to lie to him, he said yes, and then Illyria morphed into Lilah.
That would have been cool. Out of character, but cool
Loving Lee's spicy brain just now.
But then the final episode wouldn't have had a testament about how Everyone Loves Fred.
Except, y'know, half of the fans.
