When Stars Crossover

There's nothing to surprising about the number of Gilmore Girls "stars" have graduated from the show (ie, broken up with Rory) to their very own WB drama series. (See Tristan, Dean and now Jess) Of course, none of those guys can act their way out of a paper bag without accidentally inhaling the receipt, so maybe in that way it is a little surprising. But for a network's best show to also serve as it's entire talent pool is understandable. Far stranger is the talent pipeline running between Veronica Mars and HBO's new Mormon-ploitation drama, Big Love. I've been watching Big Love primarily because I just got HBO and feel I should make the most out of my monthly premiums. It's not that good, but for whatever reason, their casting director is looking to the UPN for their young actors. So far, not one, not two, but three major V.Mars players are now also on Big Love. Lily Kane appears on Big Love as one of the Mormon-spawn. Good on her, I think. Her V.Mars character was dead from the start, and we said goodbye to her flashbacks once her murder was solved. The girl needed work, and HBO, well, it's a respectable joint. Mac, the computer-bad-ass/switched-at-birth sweetheart, is pulling double-duty appearing on BL as an ultra-devout Morman pal of Lily. Then! Last week, Beaver Casablancas, the very little brother of Dick who just broke our dear Mac's heart, shows up on BL as the best and oldest friend of yet another Mormon-spawn. Only thing I'm saying, is that this pipeline better be one-way, because I don't think I can take Chloe Sevigny showing up in Neptune. Unless Logan or somebody was going to accidentally shoot her.
