Nora, do yourself a favor and fast-forward any time the guy with the blond ponytail is speaking.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Too late, but at least now I've seen his fiery death.
Nora: I hated Tracey Scoggins SO MUCH. Season 5 of Bab5 was such a failure, I swear.
Yeah, that's why I didn't watch it the first go-around. Tom did not speak highly of it. But I wanted to be a completest this time. (Will likely also track down the pilot and TV movies too.)
The other thing is that it's like JMS figured out that since they were on basic cable at this point, we could see Scoggins in her underwear all the time. It's like, c'mon, man. Be cool. Don't make me sic Ivanova on you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thing about Tracey Scoggins, what else is there to do with her other than see her in her panties? Watch her act?

She did passably well on Lois & Clark as Lois' shallow, man-hungry co-worker and rival for Clark's affections. That role seems to be within her wheelhouse, though tough authoritative military commander is not.

I remember her most from Highlander, in which she was atrocious, and Dynasty, where you'd think she'd be able to flex the muscles you mention. But she sucked there too. Maybe she just hadn't developed them yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I actually lost an email-friend over her performance in Highlander. He thought she was the sexiest prettiest wonderfullest thing ever, and I thought her character sucked and so did her portrayal of same. I wasn't even mean about it! He got so offended, and offered up the possibility that there was something wrong with me that I couldn't see her awesomeness. Shortly after that we stopped talking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We'll back you up, Zen. She was, in fact, terrible in Highlander.

She was SO BAD. Mainly I remember laughing at her ridiculous fake nails. Yeah, they had acrylic nails in the Bronze Age. It's too bad, I loved the Methos-backstory storyline she was part of.

Did they have the mousse and hairspray that would have been needed for her customary big 80s do as well?
