I haven't decided yet. It doesn't exactly sound like something I'd be interested in, but I could also end up being pleasantly surprised.

Sorry, figured everybody had heard about it by now. The series airs on AMC starting this Thursday night and stars both Vincent Kartheiser (Angel's Connor) and Christina Hendricks (Firefly's YoSafBridge).

I'll be checking it out for the first few episodes at least. I caught a preview of it on AMC about a week ago and it looked interesting.

And with Christina, who wouldn't want to watch?

I like them both actually. Didn't always like Connor obviously but Vincent made me want to. I thought he was great in the role. Christina's great, too.

God, how I love it when people from seperate Jossverse's work together. The dork in me is on cloud nine!

You may not have liked Vincent on Angel but you should, no must check out the movie Mastermind's with Picard/Patrick Stewart playing a bad guy role and Vincent out smarting him at every turn. Until I saw a small part of Connor showing up on Angel as I was turning the tv channels I didn't know who he was, then I said "That's Max from Masterminds." You owe it to yourself to see that movie. It's quite obviously filmed in Vancouver but you forget that from the sheer pleasure of it (Stewart is hilarious in it, and quite un-Picard like)

I hadn't heard, but thanks for the info. I plan to watch now!

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

AURaptor: You're welcome!

Mistress Sahara: I liked Vincent, just didn't always like Connor. Don't think we were always supposed to though (Adam Baldwin's character called Connor a "raging psychopath" or something like that, and he wasn't wrong). It was Vincent's performance and the fact that the character was Angel's son that made me want to care, and by his last few eps. playing the very troubled character, I did.

I did actually catch the last third of the movie you mentioned once. I already knew him as Connor at that time, which was why I stopped to watch it while flipping channels. Not enough to know if I'd like it or not though. There are a couple other movies he did that I liked. All were watched after I knew him as Connor. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia and The Unsaid (played a Connor-like character opposite Linda Cardellini (of FREAKS & GEEKS, SCOOBY DOO movies & ER). I also kind of liked Another Day in Paradise.

I saw Masterminds too when I was a kid, and really enjoyed it. It's one reason I never viewed Connor as negatively as others, I think.

I always find it interesting how sometime people can confuse actors for their roles. Sometimes I've got the impression that people don't like Vincent because of his role as Connor. I think that if you dislike a character that much, then the actor is doing a good job.

Doesn't quite do the actor justice when people go in with expectations of him gotten from other shows, positively or negatively. I don't care one way or another what his character was like in Angel, I saw a talenyed actor with a future acreer. The only thing that deterred from that film was he needed to wash his hair. So stringy and oily.
