Ya know, I just watched that Sony S10 promo again, and I really like the cameraderie I saw amongst the actors on set. I think they REALLY need to give Ben and Claudia some interplay (regardless of their history in Farscape - they brought them together again on a new show anyway, so they might as well go all the way with it and take advantage of the fact those two are fast friends and have great working chemistry)

All in all, looks like there's some good team fun to look forward to, apparently - I'll keep hoping, at least!

I agree. The preview made me feel a bit more optimistic about the possibilities in S10. But I too had a problem with

It makes me wonder if he's really like that all the time, or if he just does it because he thinks all the fans of the show are 18-year-old males who will eat it up.

It certainly reinforces for me what Sky and you and others have been saying, that it's a good thing for season ten that he's not the only cook in the kitchen.

You know I have just had another quick look at the season 10 promo vid with Sam and the vending machine. Did you all notice how Sam just swaggered out of that room at the end. Amanda is just a class actor isn't she. She doesn't quit acting - not for a second!!

LOL I know, I saw that too, I loved it. She's just totally cool. You could tell she had a lot of fun with it, too. As she seems to with everything she does. Class act all the way.

Oh my goodness. That reminds me of a story. When I was in second year university going through the hard-core acting stream courses, there was one particular professor (a british actor, turned teacher) who was just vicious sometimes. He was most often right, but he was really mean about it (made a few people cry, in the early years as I recall). We had to audition each year over and over again to continue with the program, and he was at the head of the panel, so I think a lot of us were just terrified of him in general! Think... Simon from American Idol, sort of. LOL

Anyhow, I remember watching as one of the other women in my class (girls, i suppose, we were all quite young in that class), was performing part of a monologue she'd been working on. And the professor (who I won't name) leaned forward in his chair and said (slightly paraphrased):

"Pardon me for interrupting your brilliant masterb*****. I was just wondering. During which arrogant little interlude did you decide that a character - a person who has nothing of your physical backstory or history, may or may not have any of your personal angst or experience for that matter - would move in body so as to resemble your gait in any way? Please, enlighten us how you came to *decide* that this person walked or gestured exactly the way you do. And if you made no such conscious decision about her physicality, then my automatic question to you would be WHY THE HELL NOT?"

I remember BLANCHING. I couldn't BELIEVE he'd said that to her, but on the other hand - it was a lesson I don't think any of us ever forgot. To this day.

Everything, right down to each breath taken and the tiniest movement of a finger needed to be planned and reasoned out, according to his methodology. I remember him often saying: "Your body is your tool and I expect you to master it. I expect you to understand it. I expect you to take pride in it. Complete control of one's toolset is required to achieve any sort of proficiency in any field..." (Scary man, very scary - and I was in the directing stream so I only saw him once a week!! lol)
