Yeah, I thought I hated Kate, until ER went to L&O. I REALLY hated Serena Sutherland.

Kate was SOOOO much better.

yes, this.

Kate was SOOOO much better.

if better means "sucked less, but that doesn't mean much", then yes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I thought Kate as a character was summed up well with that line (memfault which episode): "This job is making me crazy." Dullish; truthful; not a lot of tone; no expectation of change; and she said it to someone she kind of hated. And, that was fine for Kate. (I never liked her later histrionics.)

I never particularly noticed the laser-blueness of her eyes, because there wasn't often much behind the irises (unlike McDonough, who seems to be built for the permanent slow burn).

I spell judgement with an E and have never been corrected on this front. Of course, on the Boston T system, there is a station called "Boylston St. Theatre District", so clearly the British hold more sway than they think they do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The theatre spelling is the most prevalent English variant I've seen in the States. Some people use the re/er to distinguish the art from the building, others just hold onto the Britishism, apparently because there were a lot of balky Brits in theatre when Webster tried to make his changes. I've seen it in Michigan and California too.

USC has a School of Theatre.

Which, ah, Gunn's actor probably knows about. Since he went here.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I was rewatching Angel Season 1 last night and something bothered me about the episode "I've got you under my skin". Ryan, the little boy, should not have been able to block his parents bedroom door with that little piece of wood. I believe housing regulations are such that all doors to bedrooms need to open inward towards the room because if there is need, as in a fire, the door can be broken inwards, which is much easier than trying to pull it outwards.
