I'm surprised. I did think he was very good and > I liked him. As a character I could have seen him again. No! Not the same actor at all! I didn't mean to imply that it was. There just seemed to me to be a similarity in the way they were walk-on characters, vaguely comic, who featured moderately prominently in the episode, but weren't actually heroes or villains, friends or relatives. I wouldn't have minded seeing Rubio again, too (but I could always do without Falafel). > (Xena goes back to the cave to care for Gabby (to cr this is now classic > hurt-comfort territory).

IMDB Movie of the Day Breathing lush, color-saturated life into the modern fairy tale genre, The Price of Milk charms the audience with quirky wit and fresh perspective. It tells the story of Rob (Karl Urban) and Lucinda (Danielle Cormack), a young couple living blissfully together on a simple but comfortable farm amongst the rolling hills of New Zealand, along with Rob's 117 dairy cows and their dog Nigel - an agoraphobic who runs around covered by a large cardboard box. When Rob proposes, it appears that their joy is complete, though Lucinda's chats with her friend Drosophila (Willa O'Neill) make her wonder how to keep the spark in their relationship after marriage. Perfection starts to unravel when Lucinda's tests of their love are combined with the paranoia caused by the warning of a mysterious old Maori woman (Rangi Motu) to "keep warm". Their idyllic pairing disintegrates when Lucinda trades Rob's cows for the return of their stolen quilt, an action which opens the flood gates for aspects once foreign to their relationship - mistrust, deception and betrayal. Both Rob and Lucinda are separately left to their own devices when forces beyond their control strip away all the complications that have distracted each of them from reaching a better understanding of what they want from and for each other, and especially for themselves. Overcoming the false intentions of those around them will take the peculiar combination of children's footwear, a stunning red wedding sari, a Maori golf team and a bulletproof patchwork quilt, all teaching them how very simple it is to keep each other warm. Be sure to catch the opening credits, which have to be amongst the most original in recent memory; one gets the distinct feeling that the pair sleeping under the quilt during those credits might just have dreamt the rest of the film.
