Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
ADs natural voice is still weird to me.
His English accent is better than his American. I wish I could remember what he sounds like in regular conversation.
But for Adelle to have allowed the "glandular" enhancement without testing?
The previews for next week look like another majorly bad judgment call.
In shallower news, when Tahmoh sat down in the chair at the start of the episode, his quads did things that should be illegal.
That baby was ridiculous. His cute-itude as he goggled at the cameraman and the DP and any actor in his line of vision and cheerfully grinned the grinniniest grin in Lower Southern Grintovia kept throwing us out of the episode.
We had to go rewatch his startle reflex at the mobile (followed by merry mirth) three times.
That kid is officially the Jolliest Baby In America. What the fuck kind of desperately dysfunctional parent could fail to bond with him? Hec and I bonded with him by the end of his second scene.
And, uhhh, the grown-ups were also quite good. Negligible when sharing the screen with him, but otherwise good. And Eliza's grief and terror were utterly wrenching.
This grinch certainly thought he was adorable and might even wake up in the middle of the night once or twice to feed him. But I'm not saying I'd make a habit of him. Little gigglemonster. Maybe they had a rotating squad of hopped up quints.

100% agreement. That kid was ADORABLE.
I'm glad I am not the only one who thought that baby was unnaturally adorable.
Alas, the AD scenes sounded like Exposition 101 to me, along with what came off as an 'unnatural' voice to me -- though that's my ears aren't expecting out of Denisof's lips.
Deleted by your department of redundancy department.
Ordinarily, I think Eliza D. is like the female, real life Vincent Chase.(this is not a burn...you should know I love Vincent Chase by now. And she could totally open a hero movie, too.) She gets by a lot because she's hot and has a lot of natural charm. But there are only a few times I've really seen her act. She was really very good last night though.
I think Eliza has the most important acting skill - the ability to tap directly into powerful emotions.
I don't think she has the quality that (to choose two handy examples) Olivia Williams or Amy Acker has, which is the ability to indicate a lot of thought behind her eyes, layered and thoughtful and ironic and self-aware.
So she's very compelling when she's in-her-body or emotional, but not very convincing when she's a multilingual hostage negotiator.
Also, how about that Echo/Whiskey slash flashback! Dang, they're beautiful and in such different ways.
