I also really enjoyed the cast roundtable (the other extras didn't particularly excite me). It was interesting how much of the actors were in the characters.

I hadn't really thought about the Ziva/Illya parallels but they are there aren't they? That is interesting. There are similarities. I did like how they had that line in season 2 about Ducky looking like Illya when he was younger.

I aslo watched Bring Back Star Wars and I agree it was disappointing. I had heard rumours that the C3PO and R2D2 actors disliked each other but I had no idea it was that bad.

I was surprised about the A-Team too. That was surprising. Decker did show up and so did one of the other army guys I think.

It does sometimes take enjoyment away when you realise there wasn't the same camaderie you see onscreen behind the scenes but they must have been good actors.

It is interesting to see how the actors interact with each other when they aren't in character. It also shows that they must be quite friendly with each other that they can sit through a meal together, unlike other casts.

I suppose when they do a show for several years they have to play themselves more than if they were acting in a film. It has to be a comfortable part for them to play.

I hadn't thought of them either until DMc put the thought into my head.

I loved that line, even if it did start encouraging a a plot bunnie I thought had stopped bothering me.

Oh yes rhey all seem to like and and respect each other, mostly. And the fact that jokes and abnter played out on set too. It must be a nice atmosphere for them to work in.

Yes and of course as the character develops there will be more input I would imagine.

Hee hee he did say some interesting things.

I did too. And it hasn't stopped?

I would have that too. I agree Warwick Davies seems to have had a good experience but as you say he was a child at the time. Billy Dee Williams was a lovely man indeed.

I think he should have really. One wonders if he was out off by the fact Harrison is an A-List movie star and thus couldn't pull the same stunts he did with the other cast members? But $50,000 was ridiculous for an interview I have to say.

Indeed you would have thought ti would have shown up onscreen.

It does make watching the show slightly more enjoyable knowing that they don't appear to secretly hate each other. I liked the way the cast members were saying about stuff being added during rehearsals and DMc complaining that they would always say, "shall we just try one" when it came to his. I think he mentioned having nine page scenes though it never looks that much to me. Of course Ducky has a lot of monologues to say so it will probably make it more difficult for him to remember it all in one go.

And it hasn't stopped?

No it hasn't, it keeps whispering snippets of dialogue into my ear, whilst I'm away from my computer but then doesn't remind me of what they were when I'm actually sitting in front of it. It's a naughty plot bunnie. It also happens to be a crossover, so that makes it doubly worse.
