According to a commercial I saw, Botox helps you fit into jeans and find new shoes.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

The immobile-cardboard-no-wrinkles thing is bad!
I would think it would be worse for actors, since they rely on their faces to convey expressions.

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

Exactly. I hate the way Joan Rivers' face looks like you can bounce quarters off of it, but I love the way Lena Olin's face shows her age/wisdom/depth.

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

Someone needs to tell that to Nicole Kidman.

And really, what's wrong with lines? Laugh lines, frown lines: they make a face look lived-in, like that person has been places and known things. Far better to look like a person than to look like a pod person.

I was wondering why they cast Adrienne Barbeau on Carnivale until I realized a big factor was that she both looked her age (50s) and looked good, and that was probably not all that common in Hollywood. All the other actors looked very period, and were purposefully cast that way. Adrienne still has 70s hair, but she never got the creepifying plastic surgery. And as it turns out, she was very good in the role too.

I can't see her name without hearing (the late, *sniff* ) Capt. Murphy talking about wanting to be "The Barbeau-bot". Heh.

Speaking of Sealab, has there been any confirmation or refutation that they've ceased making new ones? It looked like a joke the first time they said it, but then they re-stated it more forcefully the week after.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
Agree that this was a great, great episode. Definitely the best since Hurley's flashback ep. Loved: Sawyer. Jack trying not to cry during Sawyer's speech. Sun giving Jin the phonetic dictionary. Sun & Jin in general (but that goes without saying). The hilarious and realistic awkwardness of Michael and Sun's goodbye. Arzt & Hurley. Danielle & Locke (2getha4ever). Walt & Shannon - awwwww - the way MG's face contorted as she went through about 5 different emotions off Walt's speech about his Mom and Vincent. The creeeepy black smoke trail of death. The Black Rock - awesome! The scary yelping sounds Arzt was making when he was running away from the Lostzilla - it sounded like some kind of half-human, half-canine barking and I thought it was an Other.
Hated: Kate. Again. I so wanted Jack to tell her to fuck off when she insisted on tagging along to get the dynamite. Michelle Rodriguez - didn't hate but for some reason she struck me as extremely annoying. Something about her being so nosy and then pretending to be shy reminded me of Kate.
