Long time, no post...
1) Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating today.
2) It is cold here. Cold and snowy with forecasts of more to come. I expect that the weather will make the news over the next few weeks. It may even push coverage of the Royal wedding to the backburner *shock* *horror* Talking of The Wedding, is it making headlines where you are or is it just the British press going doolally over it?
3) Merlin! I'm not sure how many of you are still watching but the season is drawing to a close and it's been a mixed bag once again. They've screwed up Morgana so badly that I can't quite enjoy the rest of the show. If one thing Smallville did right, it was Lex Luthor. Yes, even with Clexana. He was never a one dimensional, cardboard cutout of a villain, which is what Morgana has become.
Where is the girl from season 1 who spoke out against Uther's tyranny? I can't believe she would want the Crown only to inflict the same pain on Cmaelot's citizens that she tried to protect them from. I can't believe she wouldn't care about Gwen and Arthur. I would much rather they had portrayed her descent in a very different way. Like Lex, I wanted her to want to save the world her own way and find herself knee deep in crap. Oh well.
3) Smallville. Chloe returns soon. We have a flashback scene in the 11th episode and she's been confirmed for 12, 13 and 15. I also assume she's in 14. And that it seems is that. That's all of Allison's five episodes accounted for if we include the premiere. I have no idea what to expect but from these writers, I'm not expecting to be happy with whatever they choose to do. I only hope she gets some focus and leaves happy.
Random tidbit I discovered when reading an old Allison interview, she mentions that a lot of her dad's family are journalists (uncle, granfather) :D
4) Allison Mack is appearing in another off Broadway play called Apple Cove from Feb through to March. I'm ridiculously pleased that she's getting regular stage work and I hope she makes it to Broadway soon. If you want to follow Women's Project, the theater presenting the show on Twitter, here's where they're at ...@WomensProject
If any of you are going to watch her in action, let me know so I can envy you properly.
