JM is too old really to go on to stardom, but I think he will be able to keep himslef comfortable.

If he's invested his money wisely, he can go on to work in live theater and act in any play he wants. Hell, he can probably start his own company.

I'd go see him on stage.

With regard to bi characters on TV. I'm pretty sure Chiana in Farscape was bi. In as much that if it had a heartbeat and a spine she'd jump it.

Nicky B. is gonna get type cast as the goofy guy, but wanna see him succeed the most if anything to shut up my friend that says all he can do is goof.

Did your friend really watch Buffy? Nick could be scary as hell (The Pack), moving (many times, but the end of Potential for starters), and sexy (well, not to me, but I've been told).

On rating the seasons, Keith Topping, who wrote the books Slayer., Slayer the Next Generation, and Hollywood Vampire (on Angel) reviews the last season of Buffy for the British magazine Shivers, and is a big fan of Season 7 (so far-still the last third of the season to go).

Interesting article on Buffy and lesbians, though I'm still waiting for the article in a gay publication that recognizes that ME subverted the DLC far more than it reinforced it (because Tara obviously wasn't "punished" for being this alien evil influence on Willow, since in season 6 she was by far the most together and "normal"* character on the show).

• "Normal" being a word, imo, that only and always belongs in quotes.

TV weirds me out because of the lack of rehearsal and training, because I have almost always worked in educational theatre, I feel I can see how people could grow, given rehearsal and training. TV is so weird to me because the acting seems to be dependant on the actor only.

The director of my theatre school was always harping on the acting students not to watch television because all you find on it is bad acting. There are a lot of times I agree with her on that. Especially with sitcoms.

Being married during Gay Swings? Sometimes weird. Makes me want a gender swap kit for the husband.

Yeah, but the mutual checking-out-chicks thing is kinda fun. Also, you can go see Tomb Raider together without a problem, since you're both there for the same thing.

Isn't it amazing how getting married rewrites your entire history in the eyes of outsiders into a fairly straight vanilla?

I don't think Alyson Hannigan will always be Willow. I think for Buffy fans she will always be Willow, but there are a lot of people who never watch Buffy who know her from the American Pie movies.

I was watching a rerun of the MTV Awards the other night and she and the guy from American Pie were presenters. They were announced as someone who was recently on the cover of FHM magazine and someone who recently masterbated to FHM magazine (or some variation of that).

I'm not sure if Eliza Dushku was a presenter or not....I didn't watch all of the show.

I think of the core actors AH is going to have the easiest time becuase she's had the most visibility outside of Buffy.

With regard to bi characters on TV.

A case could be made for Dax on DS9, all though maybe if you've BEEN both genders you're beyond bi/straight/gay at that point.

Sigh, yet another reason they blew it with Ally McTrill that last season on DS9 - it would have been so much more interesting and complicated if the next Dax host had been a man.

Snerk. Yes.

I'm pretty sure Chiana in Farscape was bi. In as much that if it had a heartbeat and a spine she'd jump it.

Never seen Farscape, so can't comment on Chiana. Would like to reiterate my desire for a bi character who's not a ho-bag -- ahem, I mean doesn't ooze sexuality and hook up with anyone willing. Being bi doesn't necessarily mean you have the world's most agressive sex drive.

This is one thing that terrifies me when I think about ending up with a guy.

Outsiders never have an accurate view of your history. Hence the outsideness.
