I wish Katee Sackhoff was playing Jaime Sommers. Her character, Sarah Corvis, was by far the most interesting one of the show.

I hope RTL buys the second installment of ROME. I want more James Purefoy as Antonius. And Vorenius is really cute, too.

Do you have actors in mind when you write screenplays? I catch myself casting some of my novel characters, esp. when I come across an actor who would match.

I know you don’t like sitcoms, but we are just rolling with laughter watching Big Bang Theory because we do know these guys all too well. I realized the view out the window of their apartment is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals building in Pasadena. They are supposed to be at Cal Tech. Len’s watched all three versions of the pilot and we are looking forward to the reintroduction of the girl geek next week. Along the same vein, we are quite addicted to Beauty and the Geek, but they’ll really have to go some distance to top last year’s ending and the romance that sprang from the show.

I’m looking forward to New Amsterdam with a hero who’s done exactly what I would if I were given infinitely long life: gone to school to become an expert in about everything.

I wanted to tivo PUSHING DAISIES, but I got invited out to hear Al Gore last night, and I forgot to set up the machine before I left. I loved Dead Like Me so I’m sure I’ll like this new show. I also wanted to record LIFE which has been getting good reviews.

I’ll be blogging about hearing America’s only remaining statesman and about EASTERN PROMISES when I get a little time today.
