Oh boy. Another show for them to can. Beware watching shows on Fox. They ax them before they make it out the gate. There's many a headless show from Fox's pile. And if the show airs on a Friday night, don't even pretend to have an interest - it's dead. I hate Fox. I was QUITE shocked to learn one of my fav new shows "Bones" got picked up for a second season. But, I won't hold my breath on that even after what happened with "Tru Calling". Grrrrrrrrr Can you tell I hate Fox? How many AMAZING shows have they axed with under two seasons. Hell, under 5 eps? *sulks in corner* > Also Sherri Rappaort is back on CSI as a lab tech. A) Back? D'OH! People who watch these shows, give the rest of us better heads up. ;) lol B) Which CSI? I don't watch any of them. Crossing Jordan and Bones are the only autopsy shows for me. :) C) Can we get a heads up the week she's on? Anyone? :) Would love to catch it. I am a collector of all video Xena. If they were on Xena, I want it. ;) lol >Hudson on CSI as a biting dentist, Ha ha ha. I loved that. >Melinda Clark as a dominatrix on CSI, Didn't she do three eps? Sadly, I only got to see one. >Katherine Morrison on Cold Case, Er. Katherine Morris, but she only had two eps on Xena, so you're forgiven. ;) Unless you watch Cold Case.....(which was a little dull this year, despite having two brilliantly directed eps by the ever talented and amazing Roxann Dawson - who got her first season ender this year on Cold Case and first premiere ep on Crossing Jordan - GO GRRL!) Thanks for the heads up Cheryl. My eyes will be on Gina for sure! If only to imagine her as the lead in the series I'm writing........ *off in dream land* Julie XT Ruffell Screenplay writer of AWAKENINGS AWAKENINGS OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.roachsrealm.com/awakenings XENA TORRES SITE: http://www.bitchofrome.com "Save me from the dreaded hopping bracelet." - Croft AWAKENINGS ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

"Boston Legal" gets to win for Trek people. I turned on the ep with Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) only to learn Rene (Odo) was a lead along with William Shatner. ha ha ha Though, it still comes in a FAR second from "Gargoyles" which starred and guest starred no less than seven Star Trek actors who leant their voices to one of the best cartoons (indeed, series) ever. :) Julie XT Ruffell Screenplay writer of AWAKENINGS AWAKENINGS OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.roachsrealm.com/awakenings XENA TORRES SITE: http://www.bitchofrome.com "Save me from the dreaded hopping bracelet." - Croft AWAKENINGS ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Man, this series sounds LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. Sad Mulder and Scully attempt anyone? And I don't just say that because I've been watching X-Files DVDs for the last month and a half (god gods, NINE seasons - so many DVDs) > i am SO glad "xena" torres is getting (sorry xt, couldn't resist the pun > - i believe gina torres is really a xena type) more roles. ROTFLMAO! You know, when Gina FIRST guest starred on Xena, I got a few emails with nudges on that one. ;) What are the odds, huh? lol Nikki Stafford was actually the first to comment. :D >i was so frustrated watching her in firefly, which i saw for the first time last year. because compared to the other stars, even though she got second billing, it's as if she wasn't there with >the dialogue she was given. and evidenced therewith in her acting. Thank you. I agree completely. I turned on Firefly (even though I don't care for Whedon) for Gina, but ended up watching it for River. Even though I don't care for Whedon series, he tends to have a character or two I can really get in to (Faith on Buffy, with Dawn as a follow up, and Fred on Angel, though I never watched the series - but Fred ALMOST made me watch it a few times). Thankfully, Gina and Zoe were wicked cool in the Firefly movie. The movie was a MUCH better medium for the series which I felt really lagged. >unlike cleopatra 2525, where to me she was THE outstanding actor, I miss Cleo. I LOVED Gina in that, for sure, for sure. Course, I loved Vicky Pratt too. And I like Jennifer Sky. Can't help it. Though I prefer her as Amarice. But, Sarge was my fav. ;) >made me wonder (yes i'm about to say this word out loud...oh my : 0 ) that there might have been > a bit of racism running on the show firefly - ? I don't think so. She wouldn't have showed up on Angel after the end of Firefly other words. Sadly, I think this is just a case of Whedon never quite getting what he's GOT. Everyone keeps telling me to read and watch his stuff, and EVERY SINGLE TIME, I just see SOOOOOOOOO much WASTED potential. He has some true moments of brilliance, but then he wanders off god knows where and leaves all the cool stuff sitting on the side and you're damned lucky if it's glanced at again. Look at Faith or Dawn on Buffy. Faith was tossed aside pretty quick and then butchered in the last season of Buffy. That was one AMAZING(!) character, and Eliza was nothing short of brilliant in the role. So wasted.... (shakes head). And DAWN! OYE! You build up a character for TWO YEARS (way back in "Graduation Day") have this WICKED cool idea, and deliver it really well (much as I love Faith, I give best season to season five of Buffy with season three running up - it needed MORE FAITH! MORE!), and then you run two years with NOTHING. Again, wasted character. That annoys me more than bad writing or characters. That I would just turn off. But wasted....ARG! It doesn't surprise me in the least that Gina was wasted in Firefly. Course, I am a little ticked that she was also wasted on Alias in the end. They brought back lovely, lovely, Anna and then got rid of Gina. That was INSANE. Why? Why would you do that? Why lose the pairing of Jen and Gina? Why? Jen was good, but, she's NOT Gina. Come on now.... > so i hope she really has some good show time on this one to act well, > show her power and abilities. Mine. My show. Gina, come make my show. I promise NEVER to waste your talents. Not ever. Leading role, top billing, everything - yours. ;) And Adrienne Wilkinson as the co-star. Adrienne, I won't waste your talents either. Come on, what do you say? ;) Julie XT Ruffell Screenplay writer of AWAKENINGS AWAKENINGS OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.roachsrealm.com/awakenings XENA TORRES SITE: http://www.bitchofrome.com "Save me from the dreaded hopping bracelet." - Croft AWAKENINGS ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
