Yes, it was interesting to see how they could be changed around, although 
the story idea strikes me as familiar.  I could almost swear I've seen 
something like this before, perhaps on STAR TREK (one of the television 
series).  Have these two ever written for television before?

>BTW, what's going on with Summerlee?  Anybody know?

Well, fans have been inundating Telescene and New Line Television with 
complaints about the dropping of Summerlee.

I have to admit that the forum 
(http://www.xenite.org/forums/fantasy_tv/the_lost_world/) is a lot more 
active than this mailing list, and the protest movement has been resulting 
in a lot of traffic.

Michael Sinelnikoff is flattered though perhaps a bit embarrassed (he won't 
say) by all the attention, but he's already taken another (short 
assignment) acting job since getting the official word this summer that he 
wasn't being picked up for the second season.  And a movie he worked on 
earlier this year, "The Velveteen Rabbit" (directed by Michael Landon, Jr., 
son of the famous television actor), will be released somewhere next year 
(I don't know if it will be in US theaters or just a Canadian release).

Michael plays the family chauffer in the movie, which will feature some CGI 
effects (a lot of movies are going to that).  I guess the story is a 
children's tale, but I don't know much about it.

Michael visited Dragoncon this summer and a friend of mine arranged for 
Michael to get a role in a stage skit early in the evening of the 
Masquerade.  Michael does a cold read very well, IMO (and I really had 
nothing to do with getting Michael the part -- it was all my friend's idea 
and doing, as I was too busy managing the Tolkien and Middle-earth track to 
work on favors for people).  After he finished, Michael came out to the 
audience and joined me and my friends and he said that Dragoncon was the 
largest live audience before which he'd ever perforned (there were probably 
between 4,000 and 6,000 people in the hall at the time, and I'm being 
conservative in my estimate).
