| Maybe the disappoint in Aliens, and more specifically, Scott's role as Gary, is because Gary wasn't as strong a character as the character Luke was.
Luke's character had a strong presence -- a man's man. His look, his attitude, his mannerisms; being single and dateable/catchable. People could definately and almost instantly connect with Luke -- male or female.
Gary's character isn't as strong a presence -- he's a family man, responsible for a wife and kids (teenager even); seems uncertain about his life and family. It's more difficult to connect with Gary. I'm not even sure that a man/husband/father, could instantly identify with Gary.
There are a lot of people who would like to think that Scott has a lot of "Luke" in him personally. I happen to think that Scott is neither Luke or Gary. With all that has been written and shown about Scott, personally, his persona isn't either character that we've seen for the past 8 years. Saw IV proved that for sure.
I'm not sure there's anything out there on television right now that Scott could "fit" into. Nothing comes to mind at the top of my head. We may be looking at him to try another pilot, or just be stuck for a while with watching him in one or two movies a year. It will be insteresting to see what pops up for him around May.
When do the studios start filming pilots for new Fall shows this year?? May/June??
I've told myself from the beginning, Gary is no Luke. I'm going to give the show a chance -- just sit back and relax, knowing it's not GG. With that, I can live with the demise a lot better then the way that GG left us. __________________ avi by Cappuccino
