Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yuh-huh. One of my best friends works on Doctor Who, and I have to basically say nothing about that show for the simple reason if I do and anything gets traced to her, she'll get fired. So I can understand that, Jessica.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Jess, I'm sorry for all the ugly fallout.

I'm really not getting that much out of the two scenes they've got.

No, but I really really like that last monolog of Sierra's. Would it be all kinds of unethical to bookmark it and set it aside as a possible audition piece?

Well, how much attribution does one have to give at an audition?

Would it be awkward if whatever airs isn't quite that?

I have no idea what the current conventions are since I haven't actually auditioned for anything in at least four years, but back then it was just Character Name, Play/Movie/Whatnot Title. And, because monologs are expected to be so short, the audition(er? ee?) usually ends up whittling it way down to the best 60 seconds anyway, so as long as it's based on some text from something you didn't write yourself (unless you are Sam Shepard) nobody much cares how exactly word-for-word right it is.

I'm just not sure about the ethics of poaching from sides, which are technically not supposed to be released to the public at all. But it's a nice snarky little piece, and if for some reason (as may well happen in the however many more drafts and tweakings are yet to occur) it ends up getting cut from the show, it makes me a little sad to think of that bit of writing just vanishing forever.

I think I've just talked myself into an act of poachery.

So, with Tahmoh Penikett joining Dollhouse as a series regular, is Helo exploded?

Watch with Kristin has details about the series Caprica:

The Graystones include father Daniel, a computer genius; mother Amanda, a brilliant surgeon and unfaithful wife; and their daughter, Zoe, who is martyred to her boyfriend's religious fanaticism—but not before she installs the rudimentary elements of her personality and DNA into a machine, creating a digital twin of herself, Zoe-A.

After the human Zoe's death, Daniel uses these raw materials, some stolen technology and his own grief to cobble together "a robotic version of his dead daughter." This robot version, known as Zoe-R, is a Cylonic Eve, the first of her kind. (Dun-dun-dun!)

And in this corner, ladies and gentlemen, meet Grandpapadama! As Adm. Bill Adama once told us, his father, Joseph, was a great attorney of his day, fighting for the civil rights of the Twelve Colonies' downtrodden and marginalized. But that's not his whole story: Joseph Adama's wife and daughter were also killed in that same suicide bombing that took Zoe Graystone's life.

The two fathers, Daniel Graystone and Joseph Adama, work together on replicating their children in cyborg form, but "Joseph is ethically appalled by the robot version of his dead [daughter], Tamara, and repents his actions." Those Adamas are all hardass conscience, aren't they?

Still, the one happy result of the Adama family tragedy is that Joseph and his young son, the 9-year-old Bill, grow closer to each other, and Joseph begins to explain their family's story to his sad, somber child. But will their bond prepare them for the havoc soon to be wreaked by the rise of the Cylon nation

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kevin,

I think that since this is BSG's last season, all the regulars are finding work for next season.

Frakking cliffhanger!

And Roslin and Adama are living together??

And I can't wait to see it on tv and to have it in my dvr so I can go back and rewatch bits.

I am pissed about this.
