Trivia is the Best.

I saw Role Models tonight. Kick. Arse. Paul Rudd is the man. There's some Renaissance Fair type stuff in the movie, and I told Reva that I'd rather go to a comic convention than a Renaissance Fair. She'd do the opposite. But she said that she would have gone to a comic convention during the time that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on the air. Who wouldn't? That reminded me that Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow, and is now Lily on the best show on television right now, is pregnant. Good Buffy fans know that she's married in real life to Alexis Denisof, who played Wesley, Faith's Watcher. (So far -- coolest blog entry ever.) This was shocking to all because the best show on television just wrapped up a storyline where Lily and Marshall decide to postpone having kids. Now we have to wonder how the show will handle Alyson's pregnancy.

We debated whether it was better to ignore the pregnancy (like Debra Messing on Will and Grace -- although this example never came up in our conversation tonight -- yesh, everything else so far did), or better to write it in. Adding a baby doesn't always work, because as Reva noted, ignoring the baby during the show just makes the characters seem like bad parents -- like Rachel on Friends. Which made us all agree that how Friends dealt with Lisa Kudrow's real life pregnancy, by making Phoebe be a surrogate to her brother with triplets so that she would have to give away the kids on the show at the end, was perfection. (This is just the best blog entry I've ever written.)

And that of course, made me think of George Harrison's I Got My Mind Set On You music video from way back when. Why? Little known fact #1: There are actually 2 versions of the video. And little known fact #2: Alexis Denisof is in one of the versions.

You see, this stuff -- this awesomeness -- this I know. The law? Despite evidence to the contrary... not so much.

Version 1 (with Wesley):



Version 2 (without Wesley):
