Aren't Philips and Magnavox the same comapny? I have "Philips Magnavox" filed somewhere in the mental archives.

Katee Sackhoff's non-BSG project.

"My character's a lot harder, though," Sackhoff said in an interview Jan. 12 at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif. "She's got blue hair and a scar down her face, and she's covered in tattoos, and she's pretty much just a renegade. Like, she's really bad. She's got knives like hidden all over her body. Yeah, so I'm excited."

Um... yeah... maybe I should... um... check that out.... yeah.

The Last Sentinel, directed by Jesse Johnson, is set in a dystopian future in which drone soldiers have taken over the world. Sackhoff's character, called simply "Girl," is a member of a resistance cell. "There's the [drones] that they ... brought in as a police force, and they ended up taking over the world," Sackhoff said. "So it's, like I said, very similar to Battlestar Galactica. But ... you know, we'll see. She's one of the resistance fighters. I basically just get beat up the whole movie. I get beat up, and I get to have some sex. So, I'm good. Very similar, like I said, it's so similar to Galactica, it's disgusting."

Yeah, gotta chech that out.

Also, I love her sense of humor about the whole thing.

I was recently thinking that I didn't find the actor all that attractive, but now I love Starbuck and some of my Starbuck love has transfered to Katee, so now I find her hot.

I was just telling a co-worker who I know is a genre fan about the return of Doctor Who, and another co-worker (a very cool older lady) was standing nearby and blurted out an "All right!" over the news. I had no clue she was into genre TV, but she said that she now has to find her old Tardis that she has in storage somewhere.

I can't wait until it starts on SCI FI, it will be more Father-Daughter bonding time.

Philips Magnavox would be a good detective name on one of the Ruby series or Firesign Theatre, maybe better on FT. I seem to remember Philips Magnavox too. (Just that my Philips has those cool undocumented key sequences that activate normal features that it seems to be missing, like search by time and chapter. Still haven't figured out how to open the tray with just the remote though.)

Kathy A. That co-worker sounds cool. You never know, do you? The Brit couple who keep our local Doctor Who fan club going, you'd never guess to be Whovians, unless you saw them at the club or volunteering at the local PBS station that showed Who for several years after the show ceased production. They look so normal and non scarf-wearing.

On mine, the tray will open if I hold down the Stop button for a couple seconds.

Mine too (it's a Phillips).

Really? Huh. That never even occurred to me. I just figured it was the world's worst remote. Must try when I get home.

That never even occurred to me.

I found it in the manual. t /obnoxious
