    You know what I miss during Thanksgiving? MST3K's Turkey Day celebration on Comedy Central. Somehow it just doesn't feel like the holiday without Joel/Mike and their Robot friends.

    *sigh*

    Beyond Sherwood Forest should be renamed I Was a Teenage Robin Hood. Nothing against that goofy guy from Sanctuary but he doesn't scream swashbuckling outlaw, more like Robin Hood's sappy kid brother. And does SyFy have to wedge dragons into everything?

    I'm still trying to see if I'm gonna watch the Robin Hood movie. I just finished the show Robin hood that the BBC did and I'm sure if I want to go through it again.

    I would be so into a good old fashioned sci-fi show with big space battles and heroic characters who don't have issues that we have to listen to them work out with the ship's psychologist every week.

    Morena Baccarin continues to look beautiful as you pointed out in the beginning but it seems to me that they are shooting her to look ever so slightly reptilian. I don't see this on the other V's but they seem to have given her skin a slightly greenish tinge in many scenes, especially the ones shot in the ship and they are accentuating her cheek bones to make them look more angular. It's subtle and I keep wondering if it is there, but I have seen it enough to believe it is real. The subtlety of it makes it really enjoyable for me. Something about this was mentioned a few weeks back - how they were going to show her as alien subtly rather than by eating a live rodent. Has anybody else noticed this?

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: She is definitely giving off a reptile vibe. The short hair emphasizes her long neck (I noticed the neck back when she was on SG1 so it's not a camera trick). She does that odd blinking thing that seems reptilian. In that photo at the top of the page she really looks lizard-like (and hot at the same time). Offhand I can't think of another actress who has the right combination of features to make Anna's look work.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: I think they deliberately picked a woman with a ballerina-type physical because she's able to pull off that creepily graceful reptilian aura. The way Baccarin plays the role reminds me of a snake...but it's in a good way. Sort of slithering and...sexy? *shrug*

    I do think they're tinting her green. Yep.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: I have noticed that also. Her mannerisms are also very diliberate every thing she does has a purpose. I really like the scene when she was practicing what she was going to say to the widow of the pilot. She looks like if you touched her she would feel very cold. Something else very interesting about her she seems to be the only one of the visitors who know how humans work, even Dale Maddox didn't seem to have the same same insight that Anna does. Her mind seems to work a couple steps ahead of all of the other visitors. It seems that her daughter also has this ability, and looks slightly reptilian.

    I love this show. I love that I can pause it every 30 seconds or so and say THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE THE AGENT WOULD TOTALLY LOSE HER JOB or whatever.
