This was a fun article, and I hope that Alan Tudyk's role is expanded (I would be happier seeing him on my TV set every week!). This morning I got to see Morena Baccarin on The View (just the last 5 minutes, if you go to watch it online) and it was great to see her getting attention from Whoopie (who loves sci-fi) and everyone!

I read that as "improving," i.e. getting better, and thought, "Oh, that's nice, Alan's helping the cast with their acting!"

Then comprehension gradually dawned.

Somewhat ironically I think it's missing a 'V' ;).

She seems lovely and it's always great to see stars of sci-fi that are also fans of sci-fi. The show's a bit of a slow burn for me at the moment but i'll watch the first 4 at the very least (Alan and Morena - how fan not watch ?).

I like the actors so much better than the show itself. But any reasonably watchable scifi on TV, is better than none.

I adore Elizabeth Mitchell in Lost. So it's great to see her so gainfully employed in V. I remember the original series too and how Faye grant turned me on to strong women. (See also Kate from Angel, Zoe from Firefly/Serenity, Faith from Buffy, Grace Jones in Conan....)

And it's nice to know that Elizabeth has an inner geek. I can't imagine who'd she'd play on Star Trek, but I can see her telling Cpt JT Kirk where to shove it.

It will be interesting to see if anymore Whedonverse peeps turn up in V as it progresses.

This just makes me love Elizabeth Mitchell even more. Any beautiful, kind, talented woman with geek cred is A-OK in my book!

I always knew Elizabeth Mitchell was awesome but I've always suspected there was a real, deeper reasoning behind the intense and sometimes manic love towards Juliet. This must be it.

It's like Kristen Bell, you wouldn't know she has such a hardcore following and is fairly nerdy herself just but looking at her Wikipedia page (though, Fanboys might make some suspect.)

I really like her, and now she got a LOT of extra cool points!

Wait, I'm still trying to wrap my mind to Morena Baccarin being a cute lizard girl person and now, you're telling me that Elizabeth Mitchell plays a tough FBI determined to bring her worlds crashing down.

Think I need a drink. So, how many cute lizard girls are there? Are you sure Joss didn't write this?

I just have to say that last night's 'V' (with 200% more Alan Tudyk!) was pretty awesome. I'm really enjoying this show even though the only characters I really care about are Inara and Wash (er, you know what I mean...lol).

Fascinating interview. If anyone's interested about the Hubble image she's talking about, just search for "Hubble Deep Field" – I found this video on YouTube. It really is inspiring stuff.
