So... Imdb lists Nathan Fillion as playing Guy Gardner in all 8 episodes of this series, but he's not in this trailer at all. Gardner's look in the Superman movie seems wildly discordant with the feel of this series. Also, Hal Jordan states no other Lanterns are human. I wouldn't be surprised if Imdb is wrong but if it's not, I'm definitely intrigued!

(Though the adversarial relationship between trainer and trainee is a bit *sigh* to me. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the kind of warm relationship I'd prefer is not generally what TPTB assume appeals to the teenage boys and young men who are their desired demographic.)

Anyway, we shall see! Or I will, I don't know who else is interested. I feel Kyle Chandler has a significant following? Not coming until August, boo.

I thought Ncuti Gatwa was excellent in Sex Education, was pleased when he was cast as The Doctor, and was fabulous as him. (The stories were a little dicey, but he was good.)

He starred on the stage in The Importance of Being Earnest, which was recorded, and will be available on YouTube from March 12 to March 18. Next week! Starting Thursday! I've seen several pictures from the production, his outfits are dazzling and he looks like he's having a great time.

I'm not even sure if I've seen this play or not. I think I have, but only once several decades ago. I am determined to watch it and not find my reminder two days too late.

Anyway, fyi for fans of Ncuti or good theater.
