RIP
I was so sad to read today about Andy Hallett’s passing at 33 of heart failure. I loved him on Angel and he was so young, and so talented. RIP Lorne, you were the best sidekick a vampire with a soul ever had. I hope you are bellying up to a bar somewhere and dispensing sage advice while dressing snappily.
The sad news was tempered by reading about Aly Hannigan delivering a healthy baby girl. Congrats to Willow and Wesley. (I also love how absolutely doting he has looked in every picture with a hand on her belly. Awwww.) However, Satyana - really? What the hell ever happened to Elizabeth or Sue?
Not connected to the Whedonverse, also in the happy column was the two season pick up for FNL. YAY!!! The show had a creative resurgence this season, reminding me why I used to love it. Going to DirectTV and having the ability to let stories unfold slowly without worrying about imminent cancellation did wonders for them and I am very happy to see what happens now that they have two more years to do so. Too bad my Terminator can’t swing a deal like that. It has been awesome for the last several weeks, but each day I expect to read about its cancellation. Ditto for Chuck, sigh.
Actually this makes me think about how some shows with Whedonverse players are so entertaining and some are so meh. But I guess that is another post for another day. (Watch out Dollhouse, I’m coming for you!)
