Thanks.
Something else my niece stumbled upon.
Am I the only one that wasn't aware of this?

Actress Claudia Christian, who plays Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5, has been suggested as a potential candidate; Weber says "She’s much shorter than Honor, but so are most women, and I think she could handle the physicality... I think it’s more important to have someone who can portray Honor’s character and command style than it is to have someone who is six feet two inches tall." Weber's concern is that the director would push Christian to re-create Ivanova's character while playing Honor and "Ivanova’s command style is totally different from Honor’s."[6]


I did, indeed, say that. Please note, however, that it was quite some few years ago, and I fear Claudia (as myself) has aged in the interim. In other words, I'm afraid we need someone younger than Claudia for the role, especially if they're thinking about multiple movies over a period of several years.

Now, I can think of quite a few other Honorverse females Claudia might well fit . . . .

David

I just wrote a moderately long reply to this thread that said all that...but yours got in first!

So I guess I will defer to you, just because of timing, y'know.

BTW, I'm retired now, since a bit after HonorCon. So I know why I'm awake. What are YOU doing up? Silly me - writing, I hope.

Best wishes to Sharon. My spouse is laid up for a few weeks with a more minor but "can't walk" recoup, so I feel for...both of you.

BTW, I always pictured Ms Christian more as either Sonja Hemphil or Thedosia Kusak.

I've been working on Hell's Foundations and it does not look (alas) as if I am going to be attending early service later today after all, since I've now been up for about 21 hours straight.

Actually, you've hit upon one of the people I really think Claudia could do well: Theodosia. I also think she could have fun playing Cathy Montaigne (who is, like Elizabeth, somewhat older than Honor). For that matter, as a nod to RoseandHeather, we could always think about her for Estelle Matusko, yes . . . ? :twisted:

Now, back to business. By which I mean hooking up Allen Higgins. Allen + Leslie: yes or no?

Leslie Montreau, or Leslie Yestremensky? :D


:roll: Which one do you think, Stinker?? :lol:

And yes, microchipping is amazing. I advocate it to anyone with any pet, ever. It's quite literally a lifesaver.


Loftily raising nose into air...
Well I don't know because there is also Leslie Myerson--a Manticoran citizen and a petty officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy.

Holding the rank of Chief Petty Officer, she served as a helmswoman aboard the yard tug HMS Quay, assigned to the space station HMSS Vulcan. :lol:

To my corner? :cry:

Besides, Leslie Yestremensky or Leslie Myers will do just fine as a warm-up date for Allen. He's sure to be rusty you know...clumsily bumping noses while kissing.
Speaking of kisses, his are probably a bit too wet and messy...nothing that girls hate more...other than the desperate, anxious, choke me with your tongue 'cause this is the first kiss I've had in a prolong eon! :lol:

I didn't forego the traditional in favor of the online Cupid University! :o
By the way, that school is not accredited! :D

...It probably says something about my feelings for Allen Higgins that I 1) do not care and 2) for some reason find that prospect oddly attractive.

But given that I can't get dropped into the Honorverse and snog the man myself, it looks like the Leslies will have to take care of it for me... :( :mrgreen:

:lol: I am certain rose that you somehow got nicked by one of your own arrows. :lol:

You are using the newer issue arrows, with accompanying directions on the shaft to not remove protective caps until intended use?

Warning!
As a senior Cupid, I reserve the right to change my attitude concerning certain pairings after the movie release.

If certain things transpire like Claudia Christain waking up one day as Theodosia Kuzak, she's going to be much too beautiful for just any Tom and Harry Dick err Dick and Harry! :oops:
