Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Yep. Manchild features the luckiest apron in the world.

Someone on LJ made a bunch of icons featuring that situation. ASH has a pretty butt. And British TV has way different rules on stuff.

Whoa! Michelle Trachtenburg is going to be the lead in the Lifetime Movie's film of The Dive off of Clausen's Pier. Isn't she young for the role?

The Chicago Tribune on Wonder Woman.

Whoever plays the lead role (and "Firefly's" Morena Baccarin is also apparently a contender), though, should have the body of a real woman. If you're old enough to remember the original series starring Lynda Carter, you'll recall that as the evil-foiling Wonder Woman, Carter was curvaceous, powerful, voluptuous. It's all too rare these days to see a lead actress in the movies or on TV who is neither a stick figure or the "fat friend" (Kirstie Alley excepted, of course).

It would be too bad if Wonder Woman was played by a woman who had the body of a 12-year-old boy, which is the kind of body type that Hollywood seems to favor these days (the variation, of course, being women with the bodies of 12-year-old boys and the bosoms of Pamela Anderson).

They asked for casting suggestions from the readers; I liked the way this one was worded:

Gina Torres (the Tribune's Daywatch columnist says "her demeanor is perfect, and she has experience playing a goddess. Also: Good hair")

Kudos to the Tribune for stating outright that modern actresses look like skinny boys wearing balloons.

No reason why Gina couldn't do it. Nothing in canon says that WW isn't african-american. and we've seen amazons of color befrore.

Our wings are not tired.

She would make an excellent big damn hero IMO.

GT has that warrior presence. I don't see it in MB. But then again, I've only seen her in the one role.
