    - If you are mad that I'm bagging on her acting, fair enough. But surely we aren't defending the "Gitmo" speech as good writing? nm - ralph wiggum Oct 22, 17:14 7
      - I hardly remember the speech but Union is a dynamic actress. See: Life. -- nm - David Oct 22, 17:15 6

        I am quite happy that both John Cho and Jack Davenport are getting work. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 22, 17:18
