I just about fell off the bed when Lucy Lawless showed up in this episode, as the New Zealand Prime Minister's long-suffering assistant, Paula. I'm choking from laughter, it's hilarious. Keep an eye out for it on HBO -- I'm not sure what the episode title is, but it has something to do with hair gel I'm sure. (And there's a special bonus Gary Numan musical parody in the middle ... oh the brilliance.) - -- =============================================== 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.

Now for anyone who thought FIN was a bad ending to a series you should see the L Word's last episode. Xena's end was brilliant compared to this episode. Rob and company at least tried to give the fans an epic ending - he gave his characters a proper send off - Xena redeemed and Gabrielle inheriting her mantle as the new Warrior Princess. The L Word went off with a muddled episode and an unsolved mystery. The fans should chase the producer down with torches and pitchforks. Flight of the Concords was much better. The has a very odd sense of humor but a gentle charm. Lucy played a good nature if slightly loopy emissary from New Zealand's tourist board. I liked her look - she played down the glamour and looks like real civil servant. Lucy has now made her appearance on Angel of Death as Eve's sympathetic if larcenous neighbor. Again Lucy has given up glamour and is appropriately shabby as a retired prostitute - a southern prostitute no less. I look forward to more appearances. I'm hoping she becomes Eve's sidekick and doesn't come to a violent bloody end. Lucy has a real flair for character roles. She seems to enjoy them and she makes them very memorable. Hopefully she will do more of them. Cheryl ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
