Yeah. "Bored now" is just a concise and effective way to convey that particular sentiment.

I've heard Cordelia-speak from a number of unlikely TV characters in recent years and can't imagine that they're all intentional homages to Buffy.

Sure, but while some Buffy phrasing/es has been indoctrinated into the ordinary lexicon, you can't deny the origin.

True, but just because someone uses a word that was invented by Shakespeare doesn't mean they're making a Shakespeare reference.

I'd like to think that if you have an ex-Jossverse actor say a Jossverse line, you at least knew it at the time, or you aren't paying attention to your own industry.

Interview with Vik Sahay (a.k.a. Lester)

I have no problem playing East Indian or doing an accent as long as, artistically, it’s well-written. I’ll play the corner-store owner with an accent as long as the camera then follows him home and tells his story.

Heh. He said this exact same thing to us at Comic-Con. It's sometimes amusing to see people repeat the same things over and over in interviews. Amusing and slightly annoying since I want to hear a different answer once in a while!

But I can totally understand why one would have a "script" memorized for interviews and random questioners. Knowing what you're going to say in advance keeps you from inadvertently saying something stupid.

It's work to answer the same question different ways. Assuming that the article in question wasn't quoting him from Comic Con, that is.

No, I totally get it. And the article wasn't quoting him from Comic-Con; it was a new interview.

At first, I was worried that Kristin Kreuk would turn out to be an agent, too. But thinking about it, I'm predicting that she ends up hooking up with Shaw instead of Chuck . I mean, they're kind of telegraphing it.
