You're right: that list from The Numbers is not adjusted for inflation. The $7k budget listed for El Mariachi is the shooting budget Robert Rodriguez lists in his book "Rebel Without a Crew".
"So... almost everybody gets awakened to their memories of the "real" world by encountering their true love. Which means that Jack really was Kate's true love after all? But Kate wasn't Jack's."
If this is true, than Kate's true love is Aaron, 'cause delivering him is what awakened her memories. Which kinda makes sense, given that her motivation for returning to bring back Claire was more about doing right by the son than by the mother.
@omgwtflolbbqbye: I seem to recall that Dalton was approached for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but turned it down because he felt he was too young for the part.
@danataf2: I already deleted it from my DVR, but I believe he said something about not wanting to be around for everyone else's safety, in case Topher was wrong about the pulse not being able to reach him there.
@Darklighter: According to Merriam-Webster, an Ensemble is either the whole cast, or just the supporting cast. Anders seems to be counting any character that shows up more than once.
According to the (upcoming) 16th SAG Awards Rules and Regulations:
"A Television Ensemble shall be defined as those actors who have appeared in more than half the episodes originally aired during the Awards year and who meet one of the the following two requirements: employment under a Series Contract, as specified in sections 5, 6, 7 or 8 of the Screen Actors Guild Television Agreement or billing in the main series titles. In the event that an actor joins a series during the
fall season of the calendar year — the second of the two television seasons falling in the Awards period — the actor may be deemed eligible if the actor appeared in the majority of original episodes aired during the second season, provided that the actor also meets the other criteria given above. Determination of what constitutes a majority of original episodes shall be at the sole discretion of Screen Actors Guild Awards. Actors who do not meet the eligibility requirements, as part of the
ensemble announced as the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble, but who appeared in three or more episodes of that show in a calendar year are eligible to
receive a certificate."
The largest nominated ensemble I picked out from a quick skim is Desperate Housewives with 25 for 2008.
I'm guessing that every show runner has their own criteria.
@kalenoble: I vaguely recall either Brian Henson or David Kemper saying that Farscape: TNG was something they were considering for some nebulous point in the future.
