[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] silverLAB - your turn
[MikeMcCafferty] BTW -- thank you for the website spud, you're aces
* Spud blushes
[silverLAB] Do you think we will ever see a episode centered on eberts or at least find out more info about him?
[MikeMcCafferty] Um ... I think so!

* Helena offers a sneaky grin....and a fan to R2
[MikeMcCafferty] Craig and a new one Steve Binder
* Misbe mutters, about time..
[MikeMcCafferty] He wrote 2, neithe of which I was in
[MikeMcCafferty] When I met him at the party he pitched a bunch of stories and the only ones they did
[MikeMcCafferty] were the ones I wasn't in and he feels bad about hat
[MikeMcCafferty] that
[MikeMcCafferty] But in talking to them, they told me they just had an Eberts script accepted!
* Doretta78 gets the tape ready

[silverLAB] cool!:)
[Nebula] R2 =D
[MikeMcCafferty] it is indeed
[MikeMcCafferty] it is indeed
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] silverist - you're up
[silverist] Mike-we've heard what Vince and Paul would like to see happen in the show, what direction would you like to see-more comedy/conflict or ....?
[MikeMcCafferty] you know i like the comedy aspect the pilot originally had
[MikeMcCafferty] especially with the Agency and the ineptness of government and really off the wall things like Canadian Nationals
[MikeMcCafferty] I think when Matt left after the 3rd episode it took awhile for the show to find it's center again
[MikeMcCafferty] eventually it did
[MikeMcCafferty] but I wouldn't mind going back to that again
[MikeMcCafferty] it's a real balancing act to pull that off but when you do it's great
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] SciFiFan47 - your question
[SciFiFan47] Sorry if you've already answered this question but are you a science fiction fan? Besides Invisible Man of course.
* Helena hands Mike his Spock ears
[MikeMcCafferty] I am a HUGE scifi fan!!
[MikeMcCafferty] Thank you!
[MikeMcCafferty] This is sort of like a dream come true for me because ever since I was a little kid I've loved scifi
[MikeMcCafferty] Star Trek, which is on right now!
[MikeMcCafferty] Me and my friends were just remarking on the fact that this guy looks nothing like Jeff Hunter
* Helena notes: For very cute pictures of Mike in his "Trek get-up" visit his webpage
[MikeMcCafferty] what's that all about?
* quicksilvermad has been watching it all day
[MikeMcCafferty] Babylon 5
[MikeMcCafferty] Dune
[MikeMcCafferty] Battlestar Galactica
* Doretta78 wonders if it's more than ONE page
* IvyThePlant glances at her trek tv...
* silverist flashes the vulcan peace sign..
[MikeMcCafferty] So yeah, I'm a huge scifi fan
* Nebula makes little alien noises
[MikeMcCafferty] I'm the only real hard core sci fi fan of the cast so ... and among the writers too, interestingly enough
* Spud watched Generations on HBO
[Helena] Do you read as well as watch?
[MikeMcCafferty] but that's okay
[MikeMcCafferty] So whenever anyone has any questions about the scifi aspect of it, they come to me
* GinaS thinks Helena just snuck in a question :)
[MikeMcCafferty] I used to read alot more than I do now
[MikeMcCafferty] I used to embrace the literacy alot more
* Helena hangs her head in shame...she was only looking for clarification....
[MikeMcCafferty] I read Asimov
[MikeMcCafferty] Arthur C. Clark
[MikeMcCafferty] the Dune novels
* RevTrask says it's ok, hel
[MikeMcCafferty] a lot of the early scifi
* IvyThePlant hands helena the nerf staff of behaving
[MikeMcCafferty] I dunno I think I got stupid, I just stopped reading
[KAT-bboard-lurker] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] sahall77 - your turn
* GinaS pats Helena to let her know we understand
* MrsSpooky thinks Mike has great taste in sci fi
[Helena] maybe just busy :-)
[Nebula] no..not stupid mike
[sahall77] if you answered this before, i'm sorry. But how did you know this was the right show for you other than being a sci fi fan? Because we all think your perfect for the part and we love ya..
[R2] WE DO!!
[I-Mom] I'm sure it's hard to find the time with your busy schedule Mike.
[R2] WE LOVE EBERTS!!!
[R2] WOHO!
[R2] oh.sorry.
[Nebula] lol
[quicksilvermad] GEMS UNITE!!!
* Helena points to the topic line of the chat room
* Nebula gets the restraints ready for r2 ^_^
[KAT-bboard-lurker] LOL
* IvyThePlant securely velcros R2 to her chair...sit...stay
[MikeMcCafferty] the answer is .. um ..
* Jago-ji whispers "wonder GEMS powers, activate"
[MikeMcCafferty] It was the right show because it had a paycheck at the end of it primarily
[Doretta78] lol
[KatrynSedai] LOL mike
[Misbe] LOL
* Helena chuckles
[KAT-bboard-lurker] LOL!!!
[Doretta78] here here!
[quicksilvermad] hehe
[sahall77] THATWORKS FOR ME
* GinaS appreciates Mike's honesty
[Nebula] yeah!
* Misbe understands that!
[Spud] hehe, it's not the conrad song...
[MikeMcCafferty] secondarily it grabbed a mousy charactery type and beyond that it just .. I thought I had a good idea where they wanted to go with it
[MikeMcCafferty] luckily I was right!
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] sage26, go ahead, hon
[sage26] Here goes! Hey Mike! Thanks SO much for chatting with us! Ok, for my question, I'd like to ask where do you see yourself in 10 years? Either regarding the show or personal life.
[MikeMcCafferty] Gosh, digging ditches probably
[MikeMcCafferty] No that's not true ..
[Helena] sure Mike :-)
[KAT-bboard-lurker] LOL!!!
[MikeMcCafferty] If the show goes on for 10 years I'd love to be part of it
* Doretta78 [thuds]...ten years...
[MikeMcCafferty] and then probably, lounging here in Vegas for the rest of my life living off the royalties
* Misbe remembers a grave-digging scene...hmmmm
[Doretta78] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] and going to scifi conventions
[quicksilvermad] manual labor?
* Spud notes that he can't go digging ditches. she needs her job
[MikeMcCafferty] You know it's kind of funny with the grave digging
[KAT-bboard-lurker] and me taping every eppisode of it....
[MikeMcCafferty] here I am doing a tv show and I'm ... digging ditches .. so
[Nebula] LOL
