<chortle>  'Pace' indeed.  No, I agree with you, which is why I'm 
so... strident *cough* and/or determined about Jason being cast.

Not only do most people unfamiliar with his work (i.e., people who
didn't see B5) react to seeing his picture with, well, lots of
exclamation points :), but the B5 fans are flat-out enthusiastic with
the idea.

(Wish there was more crossover in the fandom, though; and wish B5 was 
more easily accessible by a larger audience.  Blast Skiffy, anyway.)

Yeah -- those two characters have had such a big impact on fandom, I 
can't imagine that they wouldn't have just as much appeal as film 
characters as well.  It's that 'crush' element, y'see....
