I saw this on Wizard News:

WESTERN MINI-SERIES WITH SEAN ASTIN TO AIR ON BBC2
BBC Two has secured the rights to the Steven Spielberg mini-series "Into the West" starring Lord of the Rings actor Sean Astin. The six-part series spans 70 years of US history from 1825 and tells the story of the opening of the American West. (UK Edition)

Hopefully Sean Astin really has a big role in this -- I don't know. I had no idea he was in it. (The first hour of the series has Alan Tudyk in it -- in a role that was drastically reduced from what it had started out to be.)

Trust my rage

Was that it for Alan Tudyk? I assumed he must be coming back since he was in the credits. I think he had maybe 3 scenes.

I've been told (over in the Firefly thread) that his part was cut drastically from what was originally written.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Any Aussies (lurking or otherwise) who haven't bought the Firefly boxset, get your cheque-book, or credit card ready; I've seen it will be selling for between $25 and $30 in a couple of weeks.

Also, for those of us who don't have pay-tv but have heard interesting things about both Deadwood and Dead Like Me, the first season of each come out on DVD next month.

Ann, that's a ferret.

A little bit early, but between time zone differences and me usually not being around on Saturdays (Eastern U.S. time):

Happy Early Birthday, Min!

Happy birthday, Min!

I miss you terribly. I hope you're well and your birthday is bountiful.

I can't even.

jimi of evil: can you tell me what shops will be selling Firefly at that price? I've passed the word onto an oz friend who is now curious.

(Can you say half a shiny toaster shall be yours? I knew you could.)

John:

However, I'm thinking pretty much any shop that would stock it will have it at that price. It appears to be a price reduction from Fox themselves, so tell your friend to check out Target, or BigW, or K-Mart, or JB Hi-Fi, etc., as well.

eta: I was also wildly wrong about the date. It appears to be available at the reduced price now.

Many thanks, jimi. I've passed that along.

Crossposted from literary: has anyone encountered the term "Sheilaism" and is willing to define it? I vaguely know that "Sheila" is or was a term Australians use for women ...
