Yes but its length is against Fred's desires.

He does not want topics to get this long because they slow the servers down.

I did not know that.
GW, Sigh, no, no, no - Nathan Fillion is not Michael. He's too puckish in looks.

Means he looks too mischievious, too prankish for Michael.
Michael has to inspire confidence immediately in people.
His goodness and his decency are openly apparent.

And part of the reason Fillion is so good as devil-may-care smuggler and cheeky author is because he IS a cheeky, devil-may-care rogue.
The moribund equine has been more than sufficiently flagellated.

Very true.  He might be good as the talk show host who keeps suing Harry.  I forget his name.

I think he would make a good Steed now that I think of it a cameo appearance

Sigh, no, Chandler you mean?  The Brit Warden that Harry calls Steed.  Because he probably looks a bit like Patrick MacNee.

Welcome to the forum, montrealdrew!!! :) I'll have to keep my eye on that when I eventually watch them (I've recorded every episode but haven't found the time to watch them yet.)

Btw, excellent point about Fillion's cheekiness, Snowleopard and Warden. I hadn't figured it out but that's exactly what makes him unqualified for Michael.

I don't know if he can act, but physically I can see it. :)

ETA:  And he even builds (well fixes) houses.  Perfect.
Everyone on this earth wants to feel like they matter.

Here's why I think Alan Rickman should play Nicodemus:

My Mistress' Eyes

You won't get a lot of argument from a lot of people on that suggestion.

Um...wow. That's awesome! I mean, I was already on the bandwagon but...wow.
