'Trash'
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
nah. you're not being overly sensitive. i was pretty upset when two people on my flist posted about it without warning of spoilers. that's why i was being vague and just left a link to the article.
i'm sure people who want to know will find out. no worries.
I saw that about SGA, but isn't
Vala played by Claudia Black, who is my age (mid thirties) I hate to think that I am old enough to be Morena Baccarin's mother.!!!!
Maybe Morena Baccarin's character spent a lot of time in some hell dimension before showing up on SGA.
Sophia, they SORASed(Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) Vala's baby. so she doesn't have to be old enough to have given birth to Morena.
Wait a sec, Vala is a character on SG-1, not SGA. Is she going to show up on SGA too?
I hv no brane. s/SGA/SG-1. Ta.
Oh, bloody hell. Not that old trope again.
So very tired of it.
But then, that's the Gekko folks for you: why invent some new story when you can just swipe one from Star Wars/Farscape/Xena/Buffy/Star Trek?
William Fichtner is joining the cast of Prison Break.
(The article linked to says what the character is.)
Also, I read that Billie Piper is starring in a BBC production of The Ruby in the Smoke based on the book by Phillip Pullman.
Wait wait wait. Billie Piper is way too old to play the lead in The Ruby in the Smoke. The girl is like 15 when the story starts! (By the end of the trilogy, she's in her mid-20s.) Also, she'll have to prim up her accent quite a bit.
(It's a good set of stories, and I think well-suited to a Beeb production: Victorian London, penny-dreadful plots, fun characters. An ex bare-knuckles boxer vicar; his twin brother who went to sea and came back an opium addict; a street urchin; an aspiring photographer. But Pullman was also true to the historical period: when the fighting starts, the women get out of the way.)
I loved the books. We'll see how she does. Assuming, of course, that it makes it over here.
