All shows can't have the awesomeness seen here because not every actor is so amazing. You're lucky if you get like, one truly fantastic actor per show, is my way of thinking. This show just happened to hit the jackpot.

You know, this question has continued to bother me. I've always felt like it has to do with the director more than anything else, because you just can't count on a bunch of actors to have that continuous sort of quality, to work together that well, no matter how good they are.

Did you watch that Katee Sackhoff interview at the Bagdad theatre in Oregon? At one point she says that BSG was the most collaborative show she had ever been on, and that the director gave the actors incredible freedom with their characters. I wonder if that is the clincher-- you hire a bunch of brilliant actors, but then you need a director who knows how to collaborate with them. I would guess that there was a lot of that going on in Lost (I would really like to find out if that's so, now).

Speaking of that interview... did you get to the EJO toilet story????

Oh and PS: Not to pick on Grace Park, I've always kind of felt that Jamie and Tahmoh--especially Tahmoh--were kind of weak, too. What do you think?
