Is the term guest star defined such that Mark Pellegrino isn't it? I don't know what the line is between recurring and guest.

This does make me realise that Genevieve coming back for The French Mistake--not spoiler. But that's seriously the only one that makes me blanch.

I guess I'd always taken it that a pre-existing character should be whitefonted. I mean, my interpretation may be other than what is intended. I confess I haven't read the slug in here for a long time until probably yesterday. I sort of, well, just figured I was right in what I thought, ha! Guidelines? I don't need no stinking guidelines!

I haven't read enough to know if Pellegrino is playing the original character or not.

Ah, OK, well that's a point. I was just assuming he was; well, and hoping, if I'm to be honest. For my particular level of wanting to stay pure, seeing him in blackfont is fine. I also don't know where to draw the line with him.

See, I think this is where it's open to interpretation and because the show's characters thought she was returning as her original character. I wouldn't have posted it black even if the new spoiler rule passes.

Dean thought she was Ruby at first. That's recurring enough characterization.

I realize I couldn't pull anyone into Bureau over it, but personally I'd air on the side of caution and I'd pout in a post before shrugging it off.

Community is planning a Law & Order homage.

Chang-Chang

Heee! OK, I am easily amused.

Hulu has been running ads for L&O SVU during communtiy and Iv'e been wondering if they did a L&O episode at all.

Other shows being advertised - X Files and Monk. X Files I think is very appropriate.

Morena Baccarin returning to The Mentalist.

What was her role before?
