Geeking Out

I really FlashForward but I'm way behind on watching it because I like it watch it with Cam, who has been too busy to spend time with his old mom. I turned on the episode called The Gift last night and geeked out too much to watch it. This episode has a special guest star called Mark Famiglietti, who I've mentioned in this blog before I think.

I did a show called Young Americans almost ten years ago and he played a character called Scout. My friend Mark Andrew Beachy was his stand in and we all spent some time goofing off. The same television show also featured Kate Bosworth as Bella. Kate later went on to play Lois Lane in Superman Returns. She was also a pleasure to work with and I had a nice talk with her father about what it's like to be the parent of a child actor who is just moving up to the next level. But I digress.

Anyway, there Mark is in FlashForward, putting me one degree from FlashForward, which is a game I definitely like to play. Then I see Alex Kingston (Doctor Corday on ER) in the same episode, who played Professor River Song on Dr. Who, which made me squeal with delight because I love that show so much. (I love David Tennant as the Doctor. I don't even know if my heart is strong enough to watch him die to make way for the next Doctor soon. It preys on my mind. Ridiculous but true.)

I had to stop watching the episode at that point. I couldn't pay attention to the actual plot. Le sigh.
