Of course, now that I've seen the Kevin Smith DVD's, every time I see L&O on, I think of what he said.
Can you share, for those of us who haven't seen the Kevin Smith DVDs (like me)?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

And those of us (like me) who watched them without absorbing what Mr. Smith said about L&O.

Can you share, for those of us who haven't seen the Kevin Smith DVDs (like me)?Aw crap, I can't remember the direct quote, and it was Netflix'd, so I can pull it up. It was in one of his stand-up/interview/college tour DVD's (I've watched 3 of them I think). Very funny. Anyhow, he was talking about writers block, and how the TV was a bad influence or some such, because it's so easy to turn on, and that when you flipped through all the channels, and couldn't decide what to watch, and the choice was turn the tv off, or watch L&O, you watch L&O because it's good, but maybe not your "Ooo it's on, let's turn on and watch" kind of show.
He does say it's one of his favorites. He even asked his agent to try and get him on the show. (paraphrase) "I don't even want a staring role or anything, I'd love to be the guy that leads to the guy that gets the guy that is arrested". Bam, a few weeks later, he's making: [link]
To add to that, if you go here: [link] A "5 minute interview with kevin smith", count how many times L&O is mentioned!
OK, now it seems like I'm a fanatic KS fan, when I'm just an average fan (won't tell story of Clerks 2 screening when he talked to me!)

P-C, your encounter is totally better than mine. Mine _may_ have been more memorable for him, but VERY brief. Kudos for the impromptu interview.

I love Kevin Smith. And L&O, too, really, but they're kind of all the same.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Funny image, Boreanaz stood on the Dollhouse set. (They're shooting Bones on it).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just watched Dollhouse. That's the show I was hoping for . There was a lot of talk about being squicked, but I want to be squicked by this show. I figured out there was another option for mellie Just before the scene with the badhandler. Suddenly, I am a giant fan of the character Paul.
and going back to something said earlier -- ED as Faith , usually squicked me when she fought. Usually TV/Movie fights have some vaguely rational basis -- stop the bad guy, move the obstacle, or even you killed my father, prepare to die. ED's characters seem to be fighting from pure pain. I hurt, so I hurt you. I feel her pain when she fights. It isn't sexy-- I want to take care of her and make her pain go away. Most of the time when she has fought on Dollhouse, it is from a place of pain. When brainlateringgeek guy programed her -- he had to modify the pain/ rage the character felt. ( and maybe he is the inside guy and that is why he sent lab girl to get lunch?)

Topher being the inside guy would be VERY interesting. Nothing we've seen of his character so far would hint at that, but maybe he's very good a keeping his cover intact.
It would also make his pre- and post-wipe "conversations" very resonant in retrospect.
I don't think that's how it's going to turn out, though.
