She had a very Eliza Dushku vibe to her, I agree.

I'm thinking Joss is more likely to include a classic lower tier hero than someone most folks have never heard of (Or at least I've never heard of. I had to google Rage.) with a kind of weird origin story. (He seems like Captain Marvel by way of TMNT.)

Another speculation I've seen is Eli Bradley/Patriot because of the red-white-and-blue color scheme.

Micole noted how much the Skye character seems to be channeling Eliza Dushku, and now I can't unsee that.

Yeah, that pinged me immediately as well.

Ditto.

Bah. Jeffrey Bell says JAR is not Luke Cage: [link]

From that interview, I extrapolate that his character is MMMCookies.

Have we discussed Joss on Colbert anywhere? Because I thought Joss was not his usual funny. He seemed nervous or something.

I think the character of Colbert is a hard one for some people to react to well. And, I'm just guessing and probably off base, but Stephen Colbert just lost his Mom. If they talked at all before the show and out if character, I think then reacting to the character might not flow as easily.

It wasn't his best appearance I'd seen certainly.

I really want to see Much Ado in a real theatre just to look at his house. The rest, eh it seems like it would work well on a home theatre. But, oh, I love beautiful houses.

I may be reading into this issue, but I follow him on twitter and he has seemed kind of low key and somewhat distracted in the past 2-3 months. I wouldn't be surprised if he just has a lot going on.

Eh, seemed like a perfectly charming interview to me. Although, thinking back, I can only remember reading Joss interviews, not seeing them, so perhaps I am not a good judge of whether this one was up to par.

In that Tom Lenk interview with Joss, he basically said he was nervous about talk shows, because he hasn't done a lot of them, but when he deals with fans, he has no problems, because the fans are basically HIM.
