Nathan Fillion successful TV series, Castle, made half a dozen references to Firefly over it's eight years. At least three Firefly stars made guest appearances on Castle.

Adam Baldwin: Det. Ethan Slaughter (3 episodes, 2012-2015)
Gina Torres: Penelope Foster (1 episode, 2013)
Jewel Staite: Erin Cherloff (1 episode, 2016)

What's up with Summer Glau? I thought she was great in the Terminator T.V. spinoff. Was it called, "Sarah Connor"?

Cafe Society, Woody Allen flick. He nails H-wood
and NYC high society in the 1930's perfectly.
It's a beautifully filmed movie and a nice story.
I would gladly watch it again. Best line is when
a Jew gangster goes to the chair and is converted
to Catholicism on death row. His mother laments:

"He a murderer and now he's a Christian. I don't
know which is worse." Woody Allen humor.

Bruce Willis was chosen for one of the main
characters but was replaced by Steve Corell
because the cast constantly complained
that Willis was hard to work with and constantly
forgot his lines. So Woody Allen fired him.

Awful show.

"Sarah Connor Chronicles"

Summer (age 36) had a baby girl in January 2015. Since then she has only done three episodes of television series in projects headed by her old Firefox fellow actors, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk.

Thanks for the update Paco. In the interesting timing category... James Cameron announced last night that Linda Hamilton would be returning in the next "Terminator" project (which will also include Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Is it true that when James Cameron divorced Linda Hamilton, she got his rights to the Terminator franchise and therefore got a nice paycheck each time they made a new movie/TV show?

What I'd like to know is where the story was headed after the season 1 cliffhanger.

The show started off well, before they had all sorts of people from the post-apocalyptic future traveling back in time. I mean, you may as well send back an army and chop embryo Skynet to bits and be done. But the notion of the liquid metal terminators not being quite with Skynet was interesting.

Wow. Age 60 and 70. Linda Hamilton hasn't made a movie in two decades. But if anyone can pull it off, it's James Cameron. But by conventional wisdom, Arnold's last two Terminator movies were not profitable.


Maybe it is going to be like Star Wars where the old guard plays second fiddle to the new actors.

The Age of Adeline, Blake Lively, Harrison Ford.

What a lovely movie, very good and I don't know
why. No action, no cussing, no sex, not a hint
of violence. I don't think there was even any
real anger. Just a story about woman who
stopped aging at 29 and is now over 100.

Blake Lively is so convincing in the part,
so gorgeous, yet so wise and sure of
herself, she carries the whole movie.
This is something very good that I
hope to see again and again. I was
really surprised.
