Okay, my second thread. I was looking through each actor's profile on IMDB to see what other movies they starred in, and I noticed that Morena seems to have had a horrible streak of bad luck when it comes to her films. First Firefly was cancelled and Serenity had its share of struggles. Then there are also her episodes of Stargate which I heard were cancelled. I've also seen somewhere that one or two of her earlier films, pretty small to begin with, were cancelled. Anybody know why this is? I think this is a huge shame because she is a really beautiful nd talented actress, and I prefer her over any of they other knuckleheads in the movies anyday. She is definitely the Firefly character I'd most like to um, 'meet'.

Woh! Slow down there Fastmover. Morena should be viewed as a talented actress on this board and nothing more. Not as a naked midget for some sexually dysfunctional crack pot, not some golf hole to put your wrinkly little balls into, and certainly not a fantasy 'Meat' and greet. You sicko..........Woman are more than that. Now do the world a favor you pervert, superglue the erasure from a #2 pencil into your pecker-hole to ensure you never produce offspring.....Hurry!!!

I'm not sure if Morena's episodes of SG1 aired or not. I think they did, and the show just isn't being picked up for another season. But yes, she does seem to have some tough luck. Although really, she hasn't been in the game that long.

Oh, and


Most of us are welcoming and kind. We're glad you decided to join our board and look forward to seeing you around!

PR relax, you are way too serious. If you don't unclench your ass a little, shit may be forced to escape through your nipples. Think about that. I was kidding with fastmover. We are so different. You won't feed "the trolls", I on the other hand have a heart. If you ever find yourself hungry....I invite you to eat me. Your welcome.

Ahh... always there will be a troll, digging at people, swearing and generally trying to provoke a response. Next we'll see this one ignoring valid points while continuing to hog the thread.

It just happens to some actors you know. Take this guy Christopher Gorham, he’s a good actor but he’s been a part of so many shows two shows that Odyssey 5 and Jake 2.0.

Mal: What does that make us?
Zoe: Big Damn Heroes Sir!

Interesting that you bring this up when she was just on TV two weeks ago, guest staring on an episode of "How I Met Your Mother!"

I could be wrong, but my understanding was that Stargate wasn't canceled in the way Firefly was (yanked mid-season) so much as told that it will not get picked up for season eleven. I think that the rest of the season ten episode will air after its break, including Morena's.

After Firefly, she was casted in another Fox drama called "Still Life." I've seen a few excepts. It suffered from Chronic Bad Voice Over Syndrom, and Morena's character, though she played her well, was bor-ing. One of my livejournal friends saw the pilot as well and mentioned in to Morena at a con. She said Morena got this look in her eyes like, "no, not that!" so, I guess many its pre-airing cancelation might have been a good thing. Either way, six episodes were filmed, and as long as they were filmed, Morena was paid for them. So, that is always good.

Since then, she's had a good run of guest staring roles, uncluding reoccuring roles on the OC, Stargate, and Justic League (voice acting). She has filming a pilot for TNT (at least, I think that's the network) a medical drama show, with Treat Williams, the star of recently canceled "Everwood". If it gets picked up, we'll be seeing her back on TV as a regular very soon! I think its scheduled for... June 07?

Either way, I wouldn't say she's doing badly so much as doing... well, average.

And yes, I spend way too much time on IMDB.com and, and way too much of that time is spend seeing what out BDHs are up to.

HAHA Sorry if I offended anyone and thanks for the warm welcome! Inara was a beautiful character, and much of her character was based upon sexuality and seducing people, so I'm not that far off. ;) hehe

Good to hear that she's been in a few more shows lately, although it's too bad she can't get into something much bigger to really break out so far. I think what she and probably the rest of the FF cast could use is a film like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars that cast lesser-known actors with quality and really give them their chance in the spotlight.

You didn't offend anyone, FastMover... we all understand crushing a bit on one of the characters... I certainly do.

Welcome to the board.
I give new folks browncoats ( virtual ones!) like Mal's and say howdy. Usually there are some folks who come along behind me and give you something good to eat too. That may have happened where you posted before though, as I'm behind these days.

*hands FastMover a browncoat of his own*

As for being in a movie and being unknowns and getting a break: how about Serenity 2? I'd love that and I'd bet you would too.
