Oh well. Meredith, yes, I saw the promo yesterday watching Xena on Oxygen, and for Pete's sake, I thought I would never watch X-Files until now. Lucy Lawless really does convey such power on the screen. I'm gonna watch it. Lilli ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

SS / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / my favorite line in the column is that cleopatra was described as "tawny." my favorite link from the site so far (Enjoying "Antony and Cleopatra", by William Shakespeare) includes this droll, and highly xenaic, bit with some marvelous throwaway lines: Cleopatra was fluent in 9 languages, and had already had a personal army which was loyal to her during the infighting that preceded the Roman conquest of Egypt. She managed to get herself smuggled into Julius Caesar's presence hidden inside a rug, and impressed him with her ability. There are legends (I've not been able to find the source, and it may be scurrilous propaganda) of the sexual escapades by which she won the affection of Caesar's officers. Be this as it may, Caesar thought she would be a good ally, killed her rivals, and placed her on the Pharaoh's throne. He made her one of his mistresses, took her to Rome, which created a scandal. After his assassination, she fled back to Egypt. When Mark Antony arrived in Egypt, Cleopatra put on a spectacle and won his affection. He left his wife Fulvia behind, and she made trouble, eventually allying with his brother against Caesar. Both lost, and Fulvia got sick and died soon after - perhaps poisoned. the new yorker URL: enjoy. md ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

It seemed to me to be as simple as in New Zealand they do it one way, and in America they do it a completely different way. Lucy has never really been involved in an American genre show, so this was an education for her. I don't think she was oppressed, but just didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with anyone. Seems reasonable to me. ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" -- mahatma gandhi ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
