:eek: That…that’s brilliant! I wanna change mine, I wanna change mine!

FWIW, I don’t think I could watch Lucy Lawless and not think of Xena, especially in a role so close to Xena.

Dang. Let’s try that again.

No no no! _Serenity_ must be a massive hit and the next two films in the trilogy must be greenlighted immediately!

That would be fantastic.

I think Joss would be a good choice for a WW movie. He’d be able to infuse the character with the subtle campiness that it needs to have (post-Crisis, most writers have taken Wondy wayyyyy too seriously, and she’s suffered as a result).
