MSOL posted news about the same time I found out lol!

What a cute entry. I think it's hilarious that he refuses to just say everything is great. Filming The Shroud was tough and he's honest about it, and he's also honest that it came out well in his view. He has a nice writing style -- very literate, not that I would expect otherwise!

I hope he keeps it up every week!

Great blog, Michael is always so honest and open, I love that. Funny too. I have always admired the way he says what he thinks, not what he thinks he is supposed to say. I can't wait for the next one.

I love reading these blogs; nice to hear from Michael. However, I can't remember any of the actors who haven't talked about difficulties on the show at times. RDA mentioned difficult episodes in interviews, and critiqued his performance in S9, saying he was unsatisfied with it; AT has mentioned certain episodes that were difficult and didn't quite pan out as she thought; so has CJ. MW, JM and BW have all mentioned certain episodes that were very difficult to film - in which they wished things could have been done differently. About the only person I've ever heard saying everything is great is DSD (he just seems happy to have been there.)

Shanks is a riot! This guys should go into TV commentator or reviewer! Ebert--look out.

Thanks for flagging this. I love reading the behind the scenes stuff. Hope that Michael updates his blog often. It is always interesting to see the actors perspectives on an episode. I know that there's been eps, like Hathor, that all the actors hated but the fans loved.

Wow! Michael is a very, very popular guy! Well,we all knew that, of course, but still. Just look at all of those hits.TPTB over at TV guide must be pleased as punch.

I love how he writes, sounds just the way he talks. You can really hear him saying the words. It's a great blog, Michael is a natural. Are there no ends to this man's talents!! All that and in such an amazing package, sorry, still drooling over his appearance in 24.

I can't wait for his next blog.

Who knows! Another, funnier way of saying 'Holy crap!'. Maybe? It does grab your attention and I guess that is always a good thing. Mind you, I think his fans would read it whatever he had to say.It's a nice bonus that it is funny, informative and intelligently written.
