I'm a horrible television viewer. I get so caught up in the story that most of the time, the actors dont even register. Especially if they are guest shots. So as I watched that video I kept thinking, "I've seen that scene, and that one, oh and that one too. Huh. It's the same actor." It's not humanly possible to have more love than I have for Samantha Ferris as Ellen, and yet, I totally was blind to her in BSG. It's a little scary that I watch that unconsciously.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
juliana would probably back me up, but I think having workedd in theatre would make one more attuned to actors' faces. It's always nice to know that your friends, or friends of friends, are working.

I watched X-Files from the pilot for DD, because I'd seen him on Twin Peaks as Denise, and adored him in that. I stuck around because GA = MEEP, and because the first 5 seasons were pretty rocking.
I've tended to notice and watch actors a lot for as long as I can remember.
This is not often a good thing. See also, my Alexis Denisof movie collection and the bad Lifetime movies I watched for Blair Brown.

Maybe that's it. I have the all consuming obsessive love for Dean and yet when JA was on Smallville, I would skip episodes, because I found him "eh, whatever." Its all about Character and Plot for me baby.

I rented "Devour". I feel your pain.

Whenever my BiL is in a play, I find myself playing Hey! It's that Guy! (or Gal) with the other cast members.

I do this in my city, but it's because it really is the same actors in a lot of parts.
After all this talk, now I am wanting 4400's Chad Faust(Kevin) and Patrick Flueger (Shawn) to do a guest spot.
Ugh. IMDB says they were born in 1980 and 1983 respectively. A smarter person would have known not to look at that.

My BiL having been in any number of Shakespeare plays (he's in a summer in the park company), I have seen most of his fellow actors in many, many parts as well. Seattle Free Theatre Bingo!
When did people born in the 80s become adults? This continues to weird me out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sigh, I love the watch and posts... I even like catching up.
I wish I had seen BUaBS knowing nothing the first time. It's the ep that made me not just spoilerphobic but "avoid the CW site" because of their Director's Cuts. I just spent time waiting for the reveal when I would have preferred the sucker punch.
I think Meg should possess someone every couple episodes.That would be nifty.
I mean, she's an evil bitch, but she's a fabulous character.
I think it's funny we call that demon "Meg," when poor Meg McAllister was only a host body for that demon. And Stan, poor janitor-man, was only a host body for the YED.We need to call them something. Meg is just ... well, we met her as Meg. So she's Meg.
I don't think I recalled that the YED body was called Stan before the meat puppetage. Generally I just call him awesome. I really dug that actor's performance.
The Faithfully vid made me tear up a little.You're not made of stone, woman. Of course it did... I want to go wash and wax my car now. Um, in a taking care of my car way, not a pervy way.

Thrive to spite them
I keep hoping CKR will guest on SGA (but not as a bad guy) and Eureka, because I really want to see him on as many shows that I like as possible.
About calling the demon Meg, she's not Meg, but we don't have anything else to call her by so it's easier to think of her as Meg.
As for the Dean killing the YED and Stan. I can't remember exactly what happened in the physical fights with the YED in Stan, but I'm sure his body was as damaged as Meg's, with the only thing holding the body together is the demon.
The person I feel really sorry for is the guy who got possessed and then killed almost right away. I can't remember the episode, but he was just some random guy who got killed in the prusuit of YED.

I thought of more Canadian Actor Bingo players late last night: Col. Harry Mayborne from SG:1, Tom McBeath, was Scott Carey's dad in Hunted (and was on the 4400 more recently). And Teryl Rothery, Dr. Janet Fraiser from SG:1, was the ME in Heart.
