Day 5 - A crossover pairing you think would work



Buffy Summers/Dean Winchester

I guess I should say the more mature version of Buffy - after she is brought back and rediscovers the desire to live. At that point, both Buffy and Dean have an understanding of the supernatural, and a desire to keep their family safe. They are both overprotective older siblings, and they get the concept of everything taking a backseat to preventing the apocalypse. It's hard to have a relationship when only one partner comprehends the importance of certain priorities. In addition, they could each be a shelter for the other. When the Scoobies start expecting perfection or Sam is being difficult. Both of them understand responsibility and being in charge. While they have different strengths and weaknesses, they could have an equal relationship.

MGM: When the Lion Roars



This documentary was hosted by Patrick Stewart and it covers the rise and fall of MGM. MGM's slogan was "more stars than there are in Heaven" - and it would be hard to argue considering the names which graced this company. Just a few? Norma Shearer, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Jimmy Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and I could go on and on and on.

From such a humble beginning to the heights of power to a tragic end - MGM brought some of Hollywood's most enduring classics to the screen and gave us names which will never fade. I have an ongoing love of the Golden and Silver age of Hollywood, and there are few modern actors that can carry the same blend of charisma and talent these folks did. Despite its problems, scandals, and short-sightedness, MGM gave us moments and movies no one wants to try and recreate.

Patrick Stewart handles the role of narrator with a respect and love for the subject. He gives the story a wonderful and compelling framework.
