Heh. One article I read (I think it was in EW) said they hadn't decided which way to go with Draper yet - would he go with the times and embrace change, or would he be one of those who tries to keep with the old status quo past its prime.

In other MM news, I need a talking down. I pre-ordered the DVDs as soon as they were announced. And then they announced plans for Blu-Ray after the big format shakedown, so I cancelled the DVDs and ordered Blu-Ray instead. But I only just remembered about the nifty Zippo-lighter packing for the DVDs, which doesn't appear to exist for the Blu-Ray, and I am sad, but I don't actually want both sets.

I'd say something reassuring about McKellen's participation denoting quality, but, well... X-Men 3: The Last Stand.

I would love to do it, but there's no way I'd be cast. Except maybe in some sort of maid or cleaning woman role, and no thanks.

Well, S2 is supposed to be starting two (3?) years after the end of 1, and this would be a walk-on for S3--so at least another year after that, for a show that's focused tightly on a pack of dinosaurs getting battered by just how fast and ferociously the rest of the world around them is changing. S3 might actually be a good season for them to play with someone like you.
