I had nothing to do this weekend and as a result went and hired a stack of movies, One of which was "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson. So I settle in because I haven't seen the movie yet and all of a sudden who pops up? Galen as a snivelling British officer who has the backbone of a Jellyfish. Damn I was hacked off, sometimes reality and fantasy can get blurred!

Still, I was glad to see Peter in that movie. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif
If you ever get a chance to see the Brimstone pilot, check it out.
Peter is in that as well, and plays the baddie.

To me, he perfectly portrays the conflict at the core of a mage, and is a basically good person whose tech is causing him to have more temptations and bouts with control than most other human beings will ever experience. I think Peter did a damn fine job as Galen. /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif

Ah, yes, Brimstone, . . . another good series that got cancelled [pulls angry/sad face]! I've always really liked Peter Horton as an actor, he's really good, and he proved that fact so convincingly during the short run of Brimstone. It was kind of what a Spawn television series would look like, and a good one at that, not like that silly movie. Brimstone made quite the impression on me and I suppose therefore I remembered the pilot as well as I do, and remembered Peter Woodward having starred in the pilot after I read his biography, after he left a fairly big impression on me as an talented actor having watched and loved Crusade. Mmmmmm, . . . funny that both actors have the same name! /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

he came second to me, Matheson is first, and i'm glad he's currently in Angel, and (to me anyways) it's sad to see Jason Carter in the Chevy Avalanche commercials, He's too good for that.

Too bad his tagline - "Expect me when you see me" was ripped off from Doctor Who.

Never saw even one episode of Dr. Who, but what does it matter anyway, as long as the line fits in with the character of Galen in Crusade?
How about "In the fullness of time...." I'm sure somebody else, somewhere has said that before. No big deal. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

No, as noted above, it was a deliberate nod to The Lord of the Rings. The Human Technomages seem fond of quoting the book, especially lines spoken by or about Gandalf - which makes sense, when you think about it. (Elric paraphrases the line about not meddling in the affairs of wizards, "for they are subtle and quick to anger" in S2.) Presumably this is also where Doctor Who got the line. There is a difference between "quoting" and "ripping off".
I believe both the original Tolkein lines also appeared in the film version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Joe
