 Wow, its been a long time.  Sadly, I don't have much to say these days.  I guess all I had to talk about was Smallville, and I don't have that much more to say about that ( Read more... )

I've been surprised to find myself pretty content to set Smallville aside for the moment. I'm sure I'll come back to it, and I have watched a dozen or so episodes here and there since the finale, but I'm much more focused on Tom now, fan-wise, and anticipating what he might do next. I'm glad he's taking some time for himself, and he more than deserves it, but like you, I'm fighting back a rising tide of panic as each day passes without news of a new project. Still, Tom himself recently pointed out in an interview how fleeting success in the entertainment industry can be, and he seems to thrive on being crazy busy, so I keep telling myself he must be actively pursuing work ( ... )

Its so hard to figure out what motivates Tom, and what he wants.

Quoted for truth. I realize it's part of his appeal for me, but does he have to be SO mysterious?

I figure the fact that he wants his domain name has to mean something, right?

I'm clinging to that thought as well, and checking the site at least once a week to see if anything has changed.

Falling Skies just seems to have no real heart to it, and yet its full of maudlin sentimentality that rings hollow.I think that's a very astute comment, and it's a flaw that keeps me from fully investing in the characters emotionally. But it's already been renewed for S2, so I say yes to bringing Tom aboard! If they do, I promise to watch every episode to catch up ( ... )

Well, if anything changes with the domain name, I'm sure you'll be one of the first to know! And you'll tell us!!

As strange as this may sound, I think all shows should have characters that turn you on in some way. And Falling Skies? Nobody! And thats boring. That was another problem I had with The Killing too.

I will probably go on the trip, or some other trip. I get twitchy if I don't get away every few months. If I had the budget, and the work schedule? I'd be traveling all the time. I love it.

I know what you mean about carrying over bad feelings you have about a character to the actor. Its why I don't think I'll be watching any Allison Mack stuff anytime soon.

Oh, I totally agree! And I'll admit I've watched some bad shows for far too long because of the appeal of a single character.

Its why I don't think I'll be watching any Allison Mack stuff anytime soon.

Sadly, I feel the same way. And I used to adore Chloe.
