Ack! I see your point Topic!Cindy, I personally aplogize to Liese S. as I can see how my comment could be taken as a personal attack on them. I did not intend it that way.
(I was totally going for the good natured snarky comment)

I tend to not be offended by the political posts here, but i do feel the need to point out that my father watches Fox News and he's neither stupid nor a crackpot. mostly he watched Hannity and Colmes while my mother and i roll our eyes.

Well, when you're the spawn of a crackpot and and eyeroller, you're only going to have so much hand-eye coordination.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, first, thanks to Colin for the apology & to Cindy for the defense. Glad to know that, indeed, it wasn't meant personally. I appreciate that.
Next, as to the original issue, I want to assert that I don't intend to squelch anyone's Fox News mockery, and in fact, reserve the right to mock it myself. I don't think Fox News should have protected status. WRT brenda's point, you're right about the subset and I was the only one generalizing there. Riff away.
That said, I stand by the original comment, which Jesse rightly pointed out, was more about the implication that all Fox News viewers were stupid. They aren't. I do want to make sure the boards and this thread in particular stay accessible to all sorts of fans, but not at the cost of making people not post what they're thinking. I think in general we do a decent job.
Third, I was cranky last night. I probably shouldn't have posted at all, but, see above, re: cranky. Kevin's comment was intended as a joke, and I normally would have just read it as such, and it all would have been fine.
So, explanations done, let me just say I apologize. I'm sorry.
Lastly, jengod!!?! Sorry for kerfluffling in your delurk!
Questions for actors will follow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Questions for jengod's interview:
For actors:
- Do you drive, yourself? What do you drive?
- What would you drive if you could (Aston Martin? Space shuttle? Zamboni?)
- How do the physical constraints of the show's premise (so much happening in the car) affect your craft; how do you effectively deliver your character via torso camera angles?
- Lay odds your character is going to a) win, b) engage in hot racer-on-racer action, c) die in a fiery crash. (Okay, maybe not this one, I don't want to know!)
Other: - Is the 1st unit jealous of the 2nd unit because they get to work with pretty, pretty locations, or is the 2nd unit jealous of the 1st unit because they get to work with pretty, pretty actors?
