meanderings
I read somewhere (it may have been TVTropes - which I will *not* link to) that JJ Abrams had said at some point that his shows are all in the same universe. Now I can see perfectly how that works with LOST and Fringe, which mostly comes down to a very clear mental image of Walter Bishop working for/with the DHARMA initiative (just don't ask, k?).
What I'm wondering is... does that apply to *all* his work?
The Alternate Reality Star Trek of the movie last year, I can see that fitting in, just 200 or so years down the line... but what I'm stuck on is Felicity. Of which I've seen one and a half episodes.
(look, it has Keri Russell. It's... Keri Russell. Incidentally, this is all because of Waitress. Which is awesome, and has KR in, and Nathan Fillion (bonus!).
On the subject of random tv shows.... anyone seen Human Target? It's pretty cool. Basically it's about this private security guy who gets hired to protect people, blah blah, and saves the day a lot in various implausible situations. Also, the three main characters are played by Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley.
Yes, JEH was what got me interested. On the other hand, I got over my Fringe-related problem with Mark Valley. Now I can look at him without glaring.
The other thing about Human Target is... the guest stars. I've seen five episodes so far, and they've had... Tricia Helfer, Alessandro Juliani and Donnelly Rhodes from BSG, Sean Maher from Firefly and William Mapother from LOST. When you add MV and JEH to that (Fringe and Watchmen respectively)... it does make one think that the casting people are going out of their way to cast sci-fi actors.
Anyway. It is late, and I'm tired, thus I am going to bed before any more random thoughts occur to me.
