I tried calling then and did get through. I thought she was FANTASTIC with Bonnie--who wasn't so good. Last night Miss Tyler was a screamer like Hal is. I spent most of the rest of the show calling people and suggesting that they vote for Lucy. I got five people committed to at least a dozen votes each. I'm betting they'll do a little more. Sadly, my cell phone doesn't get a signal from my house. So we were restricted to only one line. But I punched my fingers out hitting "talk" "redail" and "End" for two hours straight. Ouch.

In the LiveJournal BSG community, spoiler warnings are only required for Season 3 as of October 1. But that said, I don't believe that season 2 has aired everywhere internationally yet. I would say definitely post spoiler warnings for seasons 2 and 3. If anyone out there would prefer that they be included for season 1 as well, speak up now or forever hold your peace. > it's all *very* exciting and looks to be well worth the wait. fortunately > there's a *whole* lot more to this show than lucy, marvelous addition though > she be. very fine ensemble cast. Hear, hear. The show is worth it for the talents of Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell alone ... and that's not even addressing the utter hotness of the likes of Grace Park, Katee Sackhoff, and Jamie Bamber. ;) - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
