this news is beyond fabulous. She was superb as Sarah Connor. fierce and sexy. she'd be wonderful as the Queen. we have the most fab actors for the villainous roles...lets hope the good guys prove to be just as good. there's no doubt about Sean Bean and Jennifer Ehle as Ned and Catelyn respectively - but I'm really anxious about the kids...Jon Snow especially!

man, this premiere cannot come soon enough!!!

okay. my jaw just dropped. I *never* expected this. never. such fraktabulous news!!!!! love the man!! he has electrifying charisma! sad news for Virtuality though - was still hanging on to hope that that rumor about going to international sellers like with Defying Gravity...alas! NCW will be on HBO! and that means at least a full season!!!

I felt this irresistable need to share this little gem by vladstudio.

the little running browser is ridiculously cute!! ♥

I got a tingling sensation when I read the news! I just hope the cover art is *good* - creative and sexy - just like the show! and that it will include all the extras from the Starburst Editions and I just wish they'd include a little Moya - just like the Battlestar Complete Series has a little Cylon Centurion:D

"The Re-packaged Line, Slated for November 2009..."


[EDIT] just when I was cursing myself that I didn't buy the Contender Ultimate Collection when it was available at Amazon UK. just after I got screwed by a supposedly Super Seller on ebay, who mysteriously disappeared with my money as well as that of 29 other people... Henson comes through! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Loved it!!! just brilliant! with wonderful characters that I felt deeply invested in - that by the time the holy shit of an ending came I was left broken and demanding answers! that it just couldn't be!! I felt angry and a little bit betrayed. But mostly I wanted some explanation of what just happened. I didn't want to believe it at first. Then I understood the logistics of producing a Pilot - that sth had to grip you and sth needed to stand out amongst other new shows. On the other hand - this kind of storytelling - providing topics for discussion, for later pondering, for breaking each scene into little pieces of a great puzzle - this kind of storytelling is what I love most. I won't soon forget this little piece of art. please FOX give me more eps of this touching ingenious new show.

I wasn't sure I was gonna check s2 out... I thought that I might stop at s1... cuz well it was too...gratuitously explicit in it's portrayal of sex. ...and this coming from a die-hard Six Feet Under fan!? but this clip is scary and hilarious at the same time! well done Alan Ball!

check for yourselves by dl the clip from here

BSG Finale: for me it always came down to Boomer. for me her end somehow triggered my whole disillusionment with the show. from the moment at the end of the Mini when she meets up in the hallway with Chief - she was my favorite character and they - my favorite pairing. they were real together. not forced like Kara/Lee, Dee/Billy or any other hailed paring: they were the ones that felt most real. and Boomer as a central character in season 1. her struggles, her terror at what she was, her downfall... I held up hope for her, for them...and with that awful moment of vengeance and hatred from Athena it all was snuffed away from me in the finale....maybe she didn't deserve a happy ending...bo who did on BSG?!

love it! that they're promoting Dollhouse so heavily, as well as Sarah Connor. please Network don't let me down with these shows... here's the link to their Winter Edition video (.flv format). Tahmoh is heavily featured in it! oh goody! *3 days till the webisodes, and counting! yay!*

sneak peak at the photos: ( under the cut ) 

[ETA] get all these and more from both the Winter and Fall Editions in *UHQ* right here.
 

you know what, I understand they're thinking longevity and all but focusing on the new boy is irritating. tbh, I might have cared for him if he was introduced when the show started - he seems in more ways than one to be like Matt Saracen. but who cares! I want to see the characters I already do care about! hence the Matt/Julie storyline felt so beautiful - I couldn't keep from smiling. and also, as always, my eyes welled up in scenes with Street. can't believe he's gonna be in only 1 or 2 eps and then he's gone. at least I'm hoping what it means is that ge get to move to where his new beautiful family is. also, funny thing, when Lyla showed up in the middle of the ep - I was like whoa! totally forgot about her. didn't miss her a bit. weird, given that I used to - still do kinda - passionately ship Jason/Lyla. just goes to show you that Jason is it for me with this show. Riggs, yet again - wonderful comic relief at the beginning of the ep. but seriously couldn't care less for his relationship with Lyla. and sorry, but there's sth like too much Landry and this ep had many storylines that I wish where given more screen-time instead of watching Landry rock his guitar. and could introducing this new guitar chick be any more obvious!? so many things I love about this ep. so many felt forced and dull. furthermore, I'm finding myself intrigued by Tyra's storyline. I care as to what happens to her and I want her to come out strong from it. also, Julie looked so beautiful this ep!. esp. liked her hair - both at work and the-morning-after:)

As surprised as I am to say this, I think I'm quitting FNL if there'll ever be a Season 4. Seeing Street this episode - finally! - reminded me just how much I used to be shaken and moved by these stories. I do enjoy them. immensely. but I don't think I have the time to immerse myself in a show that's loosing it's heart piece by piece. Smash grew into a wonderful complex character last season and it was a shocking news they were writing him out. but loosing Street is going to be like a blow the fan in me won't recover from. I thought this show was about Street and his struggles in a town obsessed with sth he can no longer be a part of... I know it's an ensemble drama - one of the best examples of an ensemble drama there is! - I'm just taking a shortcut in my thinking process here.

First I was misguided to think Lyla & Street were teh love story for this show, alas that ended finitely in Season 1 finale. I like all the characters. I especially enjoy scenes with Coach Taylor. he's my constant. but I feel I started watching this show for Jason and that's how it's always been for me. only his storylines are the ones that get me in tears. even this last episode I got a little misty eyed when Jason was talking with Buddy Garrity. and it felt weird them talking about Lyla as if she was only his friend from school or sth. I miss the intensity the show had when it evolved around Street's storyline. Smash took the lead last season with some heavy storylines. but with those two boys gone from the show I cannot imagine myself sticking around. I don't mean to sound bitter. but Street just gets to me every single time! and the other characters never got under my skin so much. The best ep last season was when Jason jumped into the water from that boat. the score was sublime to that scene and it was the highlight of Season 2 for me. I'm guessing I'm gonna be an emotional wreck after Street's last episode airs.

on a side note though, Riggins is great for comic relief! that "true visionary" line repeated for the second time was priceless! I miss scenes with Riggs and Street just hanging out, trying to be the best of friends.

Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

Jules Renard

I'll mostly remember him from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. he captivated me with his performance! however, I was rather disillusioned by Cool Hand Luke. nevertheless, he will always remain a favorite! I now mean to seek out some good copies of The Long, Hot Summer and The Hustler.

R.I.P. you were truly a gentle and elegant soul.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will star in Virtuality as the mission commander. [source]

this is like the best news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New Amsterdam had it's flaws, but Nikolaj was *perfect* in it! RDM will be able to do great things with his new cast. *so excited*

Hello mates!

to ease the suffering of the long wait bestowed upon us by Channel 9, they provided brand new cast interviews via their streaming player. It was a bitch to get those downloaded in an acceptable quality and then ripped to an acceptable file size, but I believe I managed. so, without further ado here's the always adorable Simmone, hunky Matt and funny Luke:

I'm all giddy and wholeheartedly laughing with joy! that was beautiful. who knew, Battlestar Galactica would turn out to be a romance!?

 

[ETA] NY Magazine seems to think the very same thing!

Battlestar has defied expectations from the start. So it’s fitting that as we move closer to the big finale, this season is becoming something we never expected: a love story between two of its oldest characters.

this one is getting better by the minute! I think I'm even more excited than for Dollhouse! also, it took me a while to get used to the other show's title: Dollhouse...eeh?! but Virtuality hit the mark perfectly for me.

Variety reports Peter Berg has come aboard as director and one executive producer of FOX's Virtuality - written by Ronald D. Moore and Michael Taylor.
