Another comment that demands an answer to the question, why is Michelle Forbes not the star she should be, shining in a show worth watching PRIME TIME?

Too intelligent I'd guess, or too beautiful with ethics is why they run from her is my guess.

[krisb130]

What is a 'star'? Seriously.

Perhaps she is the one who decides what she wants to play? And what is important for her.

[krisb130]

Oops, I forgot something. Form a European point of view, she is just at the beginning of her best years as an actress, that is: 40 - 65.

So, I wouldn't worry to much ;-) But what do I know about the US culture, nothing.

And: 'vanity and happiness are incompatible'. (That was lame, I know, sorry)

[AerowsX]

Nice to see I started a trend and now we know a little bit about each other, at least our hair color :)

Seriously, this did look like a great show. It is great to see all of the comments on this page, too.

Okay...so, subtext... What was going on here with Aleph and the "your birthday" thing?

[krisb130]

"your birthday" - sensual smile - "so sweet". How'd you call that? The body language and the changes in her voice?

Did you see the Black Day Blue Night scenes, here on my channel? Curious what you think of the interaction there.

[AerowsX]

And here we all are, wondering why this is not a show, when the half-baked shit on prime time rolls on.

Michelle sounds, looks, and in this particular clip, moves like gorgeous to me.

I have to ask, does she like women? Because it would devastate the lesbian population to find out such a lovely woman was straight.

Okay, not the population, but it would devastate this particular blond woman :).

[krisb130]

As long as she keeps playing gay (unintentionally and/or as subtext) I am fine with her living straight ;-)

*mumbles a blond-grey woman*

[GenniferGrievous]

Michelle's voice is knee-belting!!!!

[rhyfeddu]

Whoa! Holy... :D How did this not get picked up?? That was like a cyberpunk Emma Peel (not a bad combo...) Michelle Forbes kicking ass - that made my month, easy.

[sabrebIade]

Is the song playing made for the show?

Or is it done by a group?

I loved this maxiseries! I put it up there with Ellis's Authority. A shame the series didn't take off.

[romeopathe]

I"m just starting to get hook on the comic book series...I was so trill to see a TV show but I detrill quicker reading your comments guy...ololol...

[davidhyperion]

I heard there was a change in executives at the WB when GF got canned. The outgoing exec championed GF, the incoming killed GF to distance himself from his predecessor. So the show didn't get picked up

[Beerbottles123]

aparrently WB got pissed off when the pilot was leaked, thats why 'the suits' canned it

[davidhyperion]

It just kills me that the WB scrapped this project. Apparently when the producers spoke to Michelle about the long term view of the show, she predicted with deadly accuracy where her character was heading by the end of season 5. Humans on a parallel earth where GF was produced are totally loving this show . Lucky bastards.

[KeepThaT]

Geez, she sounds exactly as she does in Half-Life 2 as Judith Mossman!

[AerowsX]

Yes, I watched that too. That scene by the car...lol. Now that was flirty subtext if I've ever seen it. The only thing missing was a full body check with the eyes. In that one, I guess there was some deal where the char slept with the other woman's man, but given everything else about her, I would have thought she'd be accused of sleeping with someone else's woman.

[AerowsX]

Yes, that would work

But still... lol :)

[quequegs]

I agree Aerowsx, except I'm not blond. LOL I freaking loved this pilot and I can't imagine how they didn't pick it up as a show. MF was amazing and so cool.

[AerowsX]

I don't know how this show didn't get picked up. Michelle Forbes kicking ass makes my year.

[AerowsX]

Gorgeous. My blond female insides melt when she speaks. That is the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen.
