Clearly, these people need my casting skills.

So I'm reading the casting spoiler for the next season of Alias and all I can think is, 'Don't these motherfuckers have enough cast to work with? How about some storylines for the cast you've got? How about you give Weiss some action? Or, 'hey, you could bring back SARK!' Assholes.

I am much happier about the Lost casting spoiler.

The casting spoilers for Smallville and The O.C. just made me laugh like an eighty-year-old drunk woman in a retirement home, who just won a year's supply of dental adhesive.


Note: You see how I didn't mention the details of any of these spoilers? People should try that more often. And no, this does not mean I want storyline spoilers for Lost, but I don't give a fiddler's about the other three.

How about you give Weiss some action?

Totally agreed. I love Weiss...he is the dog of my dip. Well...him and Marshall. Marshall's just too cute.

Could not agree more.
Weiss and Marshall need more time on the show.

Re Alias: Wow, J.J. Abrams has got to be on something, it's the only explanation. I agree with your comments completely.

Guh. I hear you on the Weiss and Sark thing. However, if last season was Alias-Lite, next season will be Alias, v. Cotton Candy, from what I'm hearing. Not that I watch the show anymore. I'm vexed. I was a faithful regular from the very beginning and this is how they repay me? Shoving it on Thursday nights and casting THAT instead of bringing back Sark? They can eff off.

I watched three episodes of Alias last season. They all had Sark in them. I then kept waiting for someone to tell me he was back so I could pay attention. It never happened. Instead it was bloody zombies and stupid sisters and just idiotic nonsense. Fuck that noise.

I saw three episodes of Alias last season: the season premiere, and the final two, merely because of Lena Olin. Love Irina. Unfortunately I didn't keep tabs on the show at all and I missed the Sarkiness. Wanted to see Joel Grey, too because who doesn't love the Emcee? Alas, clever casting cannot disguise a show retooled and dumbed down to appeal to the same idiots who watch the Bachelor. And that 28 Days Later thing was SO much better with Cillian Murphy and I didn't even like that movie.

word is that Greg G. (Weiss) won't be back next season.

heard it via [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63, who's usually pretty up on spoilers and stuff. i'm still holding out hope, because they were saying the same thing last year, what with Greg's shooting his own show (which never made it past the pilot, i think).

i don't think JJ understands that we need some Weiss. and some Sark. and i wouldn't mind a few compromising positions as well, now that i think about it.

But with Garner pregnant, they need someone to be the lithe female who gets to kick ass. And maybe this will mean Mia Maestro will be gone (I'm not saying it's true, just wishful casting).

I am aware, of a couple of casting spoilers for Alias, but will spare you the details.

Why I still watch Alias, I'll never know. Probably some misbegotten sense of loyalty. Pfft.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2005-07-29 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Loyalty? AHHHHHHHHHHH! Gryffindor on the premises! Fumigate!

Oh dear Lord, that new Alias chick was on The Insider and she's completely devoid of presence and personality. Why do they have to keep introducing annoying new females on this show??

ADEBISI. Oh! Wait! This makes TWO Oz alums on Lost! I wonder if that's how Adebisi got the job. Huh.

Also, your link for the SV casting appears to be the same link as the Lost casting spoiler, sweetie.

That was my immediate thought. I will fix the SV link, but did you hear what they're planning? Wait. I will e-mail you.

The SV, OC, and Alias casting spoilers have me in that weird space between laughter and the uncontrollable urge to grab myself a bottle of tequila.

Alias has Irina, Sark, and Weiss, all of which don't have enough done with them as is. And, you know, there's always good characters that they could bring back like Will. The fact that they kill off interesting characters like Lauren and underuse the rest of them but continue to bring in new people? Kills me.

OTOH, I'm damn happy about the Lost spoiler.

Thanks for not mentioning details of the spoilers! But seriously, in Sark and Weiss they've got such fantastic characters, why are they wasting them?! Idiots!
