Gothick, I've got a pot of tea on.  Won't you pop over?, and we can get caught up.

Just a question--are the "Senior Partner" demons supposed to look like ad execs in really bad Halloween costumes?  Or is that part meant to be ironic?

What, no grab of Lindsey?  Just kidding, and thank you for thinking of me. 

Re: the 3rd capture.  My daughter HAD to point out the silliness of Barnabas playing Crash Bandicoot.  "Gathering candies... and fruit," snort.

Is Newman showing up again next week?

You didn't watch the whole thing? [spoiler]Angel killed him.  I could've sworn he said in his other appearance that he was immortal, but I could be mistaken.

A poster on the televisionwithoutpity forums wrote that it's no coincidence that Angel murdered the lead actor in DS.  Note to self:  stop reading those boards.[/spoiler]

I'm afraid I have had all I can take of "Angel."

You and me both.  And fans can't understand why it's ending, sigh.

I can also see why MB dislikes David Fury.  Talk talk talk; I thought Angel's speech would never end.  Who does Angel think he is-- Buffy?

Ben!!!     

It's great to see you!

If you can stand one more review, this one's in L.A. Weekly:

HAMLET  This production couldn't possibly spring to life without re-casting Hamlet, played by artistic director Francesco Vitali. Aaron Mullen directs Vitali in an intimate Strasbergian style with churning emotions, while the star mangles Shakespeare's prose through a combination of indecipherable mumbles and an impenetrable Greek accent. Katy Brisbois' contemporary costumes feature lots of black silk shirts and cocktail dresses -- as though the fashion-model-pretty cast has just flown in from Sardi's.


I can't say I was surprised when Bette told me the Tamarind now has a sign outside proclaiming that Vitali is no longer associated with the theatre. 

Well, hopefully, in about 20,00000000000 years, I'll get the concept of glow.

Poor Patti.

Darren,

Don't know if you found a station, but as it turned out Friday's entire show was dedicated to the topic of the Iraqi prisoners scandal, with all callers and guests discussing Rumsfeld's testimony and the abuse scandal.  If Curtis' interview is rescheduled, hopefully the date will be announced.

BTW, that Ventura station where you can listen live (if there isn't an Lakers or Angels game) is http://www.kvta.com/.

jimbo,

You seem to have taken my word "obligation" and placed that into a quasi- legal context pertaining to your rules and regulations. Again my point was and is that it would have been appreciated if someone here took the initiative and definitively denied the possibility of this rumor to be true. This is an informal discussion board and I was merely exercising my right to state an opinion on what I would have liked to have happened. I do agree that posters are under no obligation to refute every rumor. I am saying that in this paricular situation and because of the seriousness and sensitive allegation, it would have been nice to have it refuted to us members.

Thank you for the clarification.  You originally stated that you felt that our members in the know had an obligation to address the rumor immediately if it was false.  It's my job to respond by explaining that it's forum policy that no one is under any obligation to refute any rumor.  If the way I said it sounded like legal mumbo jumbo, then I apologize.  I talk funny sometimes. 

I do have to say that I am offended by your statement of theory that I am attempting to manipulate this board to obtain information. ... That is simply not fair and totally uncalled for.

I didn't call you manipulative, and no offense was intended.  I said that it occurred to me that the practice could become that way; sorry if that wasn't clear.  In other words, I'm thinking that if DC's office were to officially rebut this last rumor, should it resurface before WB makes their announcement after the 17th would the absence of another official rebuttal lead fans to say, "They officially denied the last rumor but they didn't this time so it must be true"?  You said in an earlier post:

I had thought for a second that  the insiders here were very silent on this issue which may mean that the rumor(s) is true.

If you could think that for a moment, then I believe it's logical that someone else might also, particularly following one official denial.  But if there's never one to begin with, perhaps fewer fans will infer that silence equals confirmation.  I think an analogy would be blackmail; there's usually a possibility that the payee will have to keep playing along indefinitely.  Do you get what I'm saying?
