"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I know I've heard intimations that Mr. Trick was supposed to be more important season 3 than he turned out to be

I wish he had been. He had great potential. I know that he had to be gone for Faith to step in, but couldn't he have left town with a "live to fight another day" speech.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ooh, K. Todd Freeman? I've loved everything he did, from a Miss Chardonnay turn on Sisters to the partner to Hank Azaria's fed in Grosse Pointe Blank, with a stopoff as a junkie on NYPD Blue. I hated when they dusted him. Waste of a good villain.

What is even happening?

And that would have been quite in line with his character, too. I can definitely see Trick saying, "Cause, ascension, whatever" and skipping out.

From the Salt Lake City Tribune

"What would Buffy do?", the Christian lessons from Buffy.

Okay, gotta love this:

Seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" made him feel he could never be as self-sacrificing as Jesus, he says. "But I can be like Buffy."

What is even happening?

Riess' book provides plot summaries and features an interview with Eliza Dushku, who played Faith, a rogue slayer friend of Buffy's. Dushku, who was raised Mormon in Boston, now stars in "Tru Calling," another show that gives her weekly supernatural powers.

Okay, I knew Dushku was from the Boston area (I don't think Boston-proper, I think either Waltham or Watertown (I disremember which)), but I didn't know she'd been raised Mormon.

Angel, by the way, is a vampire with a soul -- meaning that he remembers his past evil and fights against it. After he and Buffy kiss for the first time, he seems speechless, says Kuykendall. Buffy walks away and the camera pulls back to show that Angel actually is gasping in pain because Buffy's crucifix had fallen against his throat and burned him rather badly. But he hadn't pulled away.

Not their first kiss, but their second. Not a crucifix, but a cross. t pedant (tag doesn't close)

Just thought I'd share. I was watching Shadow last night and realized that Glory's demon helper, Dreg, (the one who called her Glorificus) seemed a lot like that guy who plays Marshall on Alias. Turns out he is.

Wow. Does JJ Abrams hang around outside the Mutant Enemy sets offering candy to performers as they walk to the parking lot?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Only the ones the 24 people don't get to first.

What are those shows going to do without Joss' casting directors to poach from?
