I think, perhaps, it was supposed to be a very specific part of Jamaica, but I'd have to go listen again to be sure.

Yeah, but it's still a total crap accent. Narrowing it down to a village doesn't save them.

What? You mean there's not really a Caribbean island of Rastafarian leprechauns that her dialogue coach was drawing from?

What? No GG, VM or Lost this week? That sucks!

Or is it Lost this week and no Lost next week? Which makes a little more sense what with the Holiday next week.

And I saw DDK in a random movie on Scifi last night! Playing a G-Man working for an evil Louis Gossett, Jr.

And Liese is right -- he must not die because of the Hawttt! (Not that the show is w/o Hawttt w/o DDK. . . )

What? No GG, VM or Lost this week? That sucks!

Just no VM this week. No GG or Lost next week, it seems.

Okay. Whew!

I think that the WB has that American Girl movie next week (see -- Holiday!) and of course, Wednesday is the day before Thanksgiving: an opportunity for a holiday special, no doubt.

Makes sense there's no Lost next week: the night before Thanksgiving is all about traveling, baking pies, and eating platters of lasagna. Well, at least in my family it is.

Hellish had some good points. And how times change -- because he was one of the ones who hated Wesley, too. Was it Hellish who coined "Wesley delenda est"?

Let's not be calling for the early death of the character whose actor is the likeliest to be talked into doing as much nudity as network TV will allow!

Don't forget that DM has already revealed his buns on British TV, so it probably wouldn't take too much to get him to drop trou for ABC.

Charlie is almost always Charlie to me, too. I rarely (already!) look at him and think hobbit. And this is coming straight out of a major role in a major portrayal that I spent a great deal of time obsessing over.

I was worried at first that I would see a lot of Merry in Charlie, but there's been almost none of that (really, I see a lot of Dom in Charlie). But I think a lot of it may have to do with Merry's hair having always been a wig. Dom never had to show his own hair (or ears), so to see him as Charlie, there are actual significant feature differences in the characters. It will probably be a secret blessing to LotR actors that their images were all crafted to such a great degree.

But yeah, in part, we don't see any Merry in Charlie because that was never Dom's own hair.

i have no idea why they decided to go with GMT time. i think Artie explained it once, but i've since forgotten his reasoning.

Because GMT is proper time. It's not called the Prime Meridian for nothing, y'know.

I would meara, but I won't. I'll just say that I loathe TWOP for their smug pettiness and adore that ita is still, 27 years on, pissed off about Kendra's accent. And I, too, recall the defense. IIRC, the dialogue coach claimed it was a perfect representation of a Cockpit County accent.

And I'd like Locke to die. Unless written by Fury, I find him a really unconvincing Deus Ex Machina character.

Oh, and although I found this week a bit tiresome - they need to move the island story forward rather than All Flashbacks - I was bloody impressed with the toughness; how many other shows have 2 of the main romantic characters actually physically torturing the third? (How many shows not written by Joss Whedon, that it)

I have the explanation for the island.

It's the island from The Incredibles!

Think about it.
