This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
When the Museum of Television and Radio honored Battlestar Gallactica in New York last spring, I met his wife, actress-singer Kerry Norton, at the post-reception and the two of us started talking and really hit it off.
Ooh, ooh, I was there! In that very conversation!
Steve Bacic, sumi. I totally forget the character's name.
I just remembered.
We occasionally improvise out the end of the scenes because we know they can always cut it out and we find it pretty entertaining - just in a way to brighten the workday. Those ending are rarely used or necessary but on this episode, we were SO short that they used most of it just to help for time.
I remember the first cut of this I saw way back when, the baseball sequence was SO long because, for some reason, that's where all the extra footage was. So they went back in and lengthened a lot of moments to weight the arc properly. I think that's why a lot of stuff that is usually throw-away got in.
Hats off to Andy and Jamie - especially - on this one.
I loved that "generic" interaction. I think it would have been less noticable from different angles, but the profiles did look an awful lot alike.
The "generic" thing was a great character moment, and I'm so glad the director went with it. That's the kind of thing that really makes me fall in loooooove with characters.
So, naturally, when I saw Jamie at the Emmy bash, I asked him if Kerry was with him, and he informed me that she wasn't. No big deal, right? Well, when I brought her name up again -- this time at the end of our interview -- he clearly was not pleased.
OK, clearly the Cubs are going to follow in the Red Sox's footsteps this year if the world is suddenly a place where Jamie Bamber can be insecure about his wife hitting it off with Michael Ausiello...
A hearty thumbs up to improvising.
I'm so glad you guys aren't mad about it airing out of order - irritated to be sure and rightly so - but not mad. For us it was hard that they didn't air in the right order. A lot of the arcs were plotted to have this one air third and I was really worried that it wouldn't work at all in this order.
I think it was fine. There were small "throwaway" moments that were good set up for what should have been future episodes, like the "assistant" line
