David's character's name has been released -- Horace Vanglider.

Then there's the time Quentin and Amanda were crossing the bridge and she falls in.  But I wouldn't call that catastrophic - more like a relief. 

True, but, on a similar note, any scene of those two in "happier" times would qualify as catastrophic. 

Doubt you'll see him in any of the promos.

My understanding is that he plays Jennifer Morrison's father, and her character has been described as Affleck's girlfriend, though apparently over the course of the film his interests turn to Christina Applegate.

For anyone keeping score, Jennifer Morrison also appeared with David in Intersection. She played Richard Gere and Sharon Stone's daughter. There's an online interview where she comments that David has played her father before. Actually, he played her mother's boyfriend who has a special way with pancakes. 

Sort of getting off topic here, but since there's been so much talk about Sky . . . Geoffrey Scott also appeared on Dynasty, and he's featured in the eps that are currently airing (at this very moment on the East Coast) on SoapNet.

If anyone visits the KPFA web site to listen to the archived broadcast, you'll see that they list a Sinclair Lewis play instead of Pack of Lies. This is a mistake. Ignore it. Click the link anyway, and you'll hear Pack of Lies.

The "Barnabas" character is secondary and not very  sympathetic. That suits me just fine.....but most fans of the show wouldn't be too thrilled, would they? 

I think the decision to reject this book says a lot about fan fiction vs. "official" novelizations. Fan fic writers/audiences are much more eager to embrace and explore these sorts of stories that foreground a secondary character (please don't slap me, Willie fans). The stuff that's produced commercially has to appeal to a broader base, so you're not going to see many of the "twists" associated with fan fic. What Hinton is up to here is what fans would expect and most likely embrace from a fan fic writer, but the very same people might scream and yell over what she did if it were sanctioned novelization, perhaps because it somehow represents an assault on the DS canon that a piece of fan fic wouldn't present because it doesn't carry the blessings of DCP.

89.3 KPCC in Southern California will broadcast the LA Theatre Works production of Herman Wouk's Caine Mutiny Court-Martial starring David Selby as Lt. Commander Queeg on Saturday, October 23, at 10:00pm local time.

This broadcast will be available via online simulcast. An archived version will be available for a week following the broadcast. For listening links, visit David's official site and check out the Airdates page.

Which leaves me wondering.....why on earth didn't any of us know about this already? 

There had been a news item floating around online some time ago that Hinton would be writing the next DS novel, but nothing more was said about it, and talk turned to Lara Parker's efforts to write her second novel.

Guess Hinton didn't abandon the project after all.
