She seemed a bit too much of a stereotypical cookie-cutter `tough chick' character to me. Wears black, rides a motorcycle, attitude, cheesy dialog. So much of the character herself (not her story) seemed like the writers just took the easy route and used a `right out of the box' character instead of writing their own tough character who seemed like they fit on HL. People have mentioned before how bad they thought the actress herself was. When I was watching the episode a week or so ago I noticed that there's something odd about her dialog. The audio, not the words. I'm not sure what it is though. I know dialog often has to be redone in a studio because of noise and such during the filming. There's something about her dialog that reminded me of that, but in this case it was almost all her lines. Did anyone else notice anything about her sounding odd, or is it just the way the actress did the lines? =}{= (heidi@bronze.lcs.mit.edu) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 17:55:06 -0000 From: "a.j.mosby" <a.j.mosby@btinternet.com> Subject: OT: Movie Clear-out. As some of you may know I decided that packing for HLWW6, helping set-up HLWW7, editing Impact and Verbatim simply wasn't enough work for me, so I'm moving out of my house in the next month too! This means that I have to clear a LOT of memorabilia etc. Some of that stuff is going up on eBay. For example: Blake's 7: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7503871795 Watchmen: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6166195369 But I also have some other items that I'd thought I'd mention here to give people a chance. There's no Highlander stuff (HLWW will be running their own auction soon and I don't want to conflict with that) but there's some good stuff.
