As for Murphey, over time I am beggining to think that maybe Kristen Bell could pull it off.
When I had made my orignal cast some years ago, I did not pick her because at the time I didn't think she could pull off the tough chick, but now I think maybe she could, not for any particular role she has done recently but she definitely has the cute petite blond look that I picture for Murphey.

Gary Oldman was my first choice also, based off of Zorg from Fifth Element, Dracula, and Serius Black.
Robert Kneeper was a distant second for lack of better choices that fit the look i have in my head.
John Glover does however have the look that I picture, so I could definitely agree with that choice too.

Quinto would be my second choice, Lee Pace is my first.
But if you've never seen Pushing Daisies you wouldn't understand.

Wow, this poll brings back memories. It's been months since I've been here.
Originally this poll was mine in another thread but then merged here, I wish someone would delete it and start a new one though, I think it's a little dated now. Surely by now all the Firefly fans have gotten over Nathan Fillion.

The way Fox News does.

I find that wikipedia is pretty good at giving a background of individual angels and demons.
We had a similar discussion about Archangels here.

No TT people. And that isn't the symbol for Pi, that is T.T.
It doesn't mean:
Tiny Tim
Titillating Taboos
Toxic Turtles
Trailer Trash
It means Touchy Topics.
STAY AWAY from them.
(actually you might want to stay away from all of those)

Author Craft / Re: Handicapping your characters.
« on: October 11, 2010, 03:55:54 PM »
I think handicapping characters that get too powerful too fast is pretty common practice.
Even characters that are semi-powerful need handicapping sometimes, it's just puts the odds against them and creates some intense drama.
Harry's burnt hand for example handicapped him a little.
In the show Heroes it happened big time because Sylar and Peter were getting way too powerful, so both were stripped down, but I think in Peter's case it may have been a little overkill.
I can probably think of a few more if I tried, but needless to say, handicapping isn't a bad solution, as opposed to making more powerful enemies. I find that if you make a too powerful enemy that it would be harder to trump him later.
For instance in Superman in my mind Doomsday was the end all most powerful nemesis, but of course later they came up with stronger foes but to me he was the one that mattered most.
In Supernatural, I am skeptical about there being a worse enemy than Lucifer, but he didn't really do all that much himself so it's do-able.
And furthermore, in many series there tends to be the "Outsiders" which go above and beyond the powers of good and evil that are the current top dawgs.
