He said that Dominion was a sequel to Legend when he really meant Legion.

Did you at least shave your legs so that the stockings would look good on you?

Please... the stockings already looked good on me.

In truth, I rarely dressed as a character, and when I did and performed, it was generally as Riff Raff.

BTW, going from opinions of a new TV series to how I look in drag has got to be near the top in the annals of TR-116 history.

I vaguely recognize that reference, but that's all.

And... I'll give it maybe one more chance, but the pilot is exactly what one can expect from a SyFy series: formulaic, cliche, and stale. BTW, I am a big fan in general of Anthony Stewart Head, and I find him more than capable in most things, but there is at least one thing which he cannot accomplish and that is a passable American accent. His acting was surely good enough, but the accent was bad enough that it was actually distracting.

Call it revenge for Dick Van Dyke. :twisted:

Speaking of US accents, how do you rate Hugh Laurie? I've heard nothing but good, but never from the horse's mouth.

Indeed - Laurie's accent is good enough to fool most Yanks. Literally - I know people who only know Laurie from his work on House MD who didn't know that he was British.

Well, he was dancing with cartoon penguins, as I recall - perhaps it shouldn't be taken as a piece of serious literature.

In all seriousnes, though, Stewart's accent reminded me of nothing so much as a Monty Python bit.

Aye - the story I've heard most often is that his audition was held by the producer to be an example of "a great American actor".

So you're not excited about the next big Nicholas Cage movie, "Left Behind," based on the very popular Left Behind series of books? There's an original "Left Behind" movie produced by and staring TV's Kirk Cameron as well. Left Behind is based on The Rapture, possibly centering on those who haven't been Raptured. I could have sworn Cage did a similar movie like this except The Rapture was done by aliens.

Keep in mind Kirk Cameron is a nutcase.
