Um, yeah, casting Glau as a WACKO GENIUS WITH VERBAL TICS is not casting to type.

It makes me wonder - has Summer EVER been cast as somebody even remotely normal? And I don't think the ghostly ballerina counts as normal. It does make me wonder what her exact relation to Caroline was. She said they were best friends, but is that remotely trustworthy.
And, dammit all to Hell, THIS is the show I wanted. Fuck Fox in the ear. Fuck them harshly with a chain-saw while you're at it.

Who's daughter in the what now? Sorry, but nothing in that pings anything I know.

Summer Glau was in a Skiffy movie starring Vincent Ventresca (He's been in my shows so much lately I feel like I've been typing his name here twice a day) with giant defrosted Woolly Mammoths on the rampage.
Stupid goofiness. She was just a cute bland teenager. It was strange.
I'm trying and failing at using my words.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Summer was pretty good in The Unit.

Yeah, I can see that. Don't know VV from a hole in the ground, but since my only prior experience with SG was when she was the ghost ballerina on Angel, I haven't exactly ever seen her play anything resembling normal. I mean, I've seen Amy Acker play semi-normal (if you squint and turn your head sideways and forgive homicidal tendencies on Alias), but not Summer, bless her way-with-the-crazy heart.

VV was and will always be Darrien Fawkes from The Invisible Man to me, but on Dollhouse he's the icky and very dead Nolan, who stole Priya and made her into Sierra.

Oh, and Victor!Topher may be one of my favorite things ever. Probably an exaggeration, but I did make a too few many really loud guffaws during this seeing him and Real!Topher interact.

I missed the first hour because I was working late and hadn't realized DH was starting up again. Was today's showing 1 long epsiode, or did they just burn off 2 back to back?
