h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You didn't include Teri.

You know, I'm really glad I only just saw this post! The show only finished in the UK last night and you'd've blown the end of the last episode for me!

(I love a happy ending... )

Jamey (like that) didn't.

Nina was better than Teri cos even though she was evil she was not pathetic and useless. (discuss)

Kim kicks ass. Or throws hot in face, whichever is easiest.

Everyone seems to spell Pointy Chin Lady's name differently, it's very odd. Anyway, what didn't she do? Commit suicide? Well, we know that now, but I didn't as I toiled away at this literary epic (and I suspect even the writers thought she'd committed suicide until the time came to script episode 24).

Teri was rather feeble, although being saddled with the world's biggest cardigan and the phenomenally lame amnesia subplot did her no favours.

How surprising that the nubile blonde teenage daughter survived to see the second series (and do a few more photoshoots for the lad mags)...

She looked so much older in pictures, almost didn't recognise. (anyone know how old she is really?)

Assuming you mean the actress playing Kim Bauer, according to the IMDB she isn't even 20 till November this year. I suppose you can do a lot with slap and lighting and photoshop...

But still older than the character.
And very very pretty.

(you got a problem with 19 yr olds?)

If only.

Quite the opposite in fact (all other things being equal, obviously)!

Do we know how old Kim was supposed to be?
For some reason I though I heard 15 somewhere, but it's definitely between 15 and 18.

If I ever knew I've forgotten it now. For some reason I'm thinking 17 though.

It's the same with all these shows, yer akcherl teenagers can't legally work the long hours the shoots demand so they hire people in their twenties who look young (eg Charisma Carpenter who was about 25 when she started in BtVS playing a 17 year old. Xander and Willow are both my age, for heaven's sake!)

And don't even look at Dawson's Creek (no, really, don't, they just sit around and moan all the time)



(but I love Willow!)

Never felt tempted to!



(Who doesn't? Our IT guy at work has her as his PC wallpaper)

It's almost a test for whether people (especially guys) have their heads screwed on right.
Ask them if they prefer Willow or Buffy, if they say Buffy then kill them. (if they vote for Cordelia then they obviously just like pain)

I seem to recall he's a Willowy type. I myself was drawn to Cordy back when she had long hair, but then again I'm deeply shallow (if such a thing is possible).

Um, but she's evil.
Or would be considered evil in most shows (ones that lack the more obvious evilness that is provided by the vampires/demons/etc).

Still better than Buffy though. Saw her last night in Scream 2 as 'girl who gets killed for no immediately apparent reason'. Also an annoying Ken doll of a boy who I wanted to call Quinn.

Ah, bad girls. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... (May explain my levels of singleness, which is high and steady, and desperation, which has been rising of late.)

I saw that too. I was sorry when the geek got offed, for obvious reasons of empathy. SMG's part was... interesting. Not much more than a long cameo really, but close/different enough to her more famous role to be amusing.

Was the Quinn guy the boyfriend? The one who was in Sliders... oh, I see where you're coming from now. To be honest, after he sang the Partridge family song in the refeectory I wanted to stab him myself, so his bothered me not one whit.

I thought the killer was going to turn out to be the cameraman. The killer's 'secret ID' vanishing out of the movie for so long was a bit of a cheat, but I started getting suspicious about Jackie out of Roseanne near the end so I'll claim half-marks for that. Okay movie, passed the time... but then I wasn't too impressed by the first one either.

Something to do while babysitting (hey, I got paid to watch TV while children were in bed).

I liked Randy! He was the only person that I actually cared whether they died or not. (okay, I would have been surprised if Sidney had died, but not very worried)

Cordy's not very bad, just bitchy, would have fitted in well with all the nasty, dyed-blonde sorority girls in that film. One of whom looked like Nell from Ally McBeal, but coulodn't have been. I watch so much rubbish.

*after looking up on imdb*

Wow, it actually was her! I am good! Aged 24 at the tinme, which is actually acceptable, but means she's younger than I thought. I really don't like her.

Babysitting = being paid to watch TV? Hmm, might have been a nice sideline for me when I was younger, had I not been effectively disbarred on gender grounds (cos I'm a bloke, obviously, despite slanderous rumours to the contrary ).

I liked Randy, and the David Arquette character... cos he was just a well-meaning unfashionable dope of a character. I wonder if he died in the original version but got written back in at some point? Cos his survival did seem a bit implausible.

Ah, Portia de Rossi. If only her eyebrows matched her hair colour (meow).

I don't know if you've realised this, but it's very hard to dye your eyebrows, and people with yellow eyebrows do look like they've had an accident involving some sort of alchemy.

Nope, if I had to choose I'd fancy Ling. Because she has sound effects. And life should have sound effects.

Do you think the reason that David Arquette survived had something to do with Courtney Cox?

(babysitting is alright until the kids wake up)

Surely therefore the trick is to ensure they don't? ('...broken arm... bump on the noggin... my diagnosis is - bad babysitting!')

Never tried dying anything, least of all myself. (Or indeed dying full stop.) Clearly P de R (daft name for an Australian, wot) is in the sway of the insidious international cult of blondeness.

Stopped watching Ally McBeal two years ago. Um, if I had to rank the cast in order of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ness at the top of the lsit it'd have to be... um... was her name Georgia? Her, or Ally's flatmate.
