Brimstone....

I watched the pilot episode of Brimstone again yesterday.

My goodness I love that show. It's got a nice style - somewhere between Homicide: Life on the Streets and Buffy and Milton, all swirled together like ice cream.

Better, the Pilot has two of my favourite actors of all time in it: Peter Woodward and John Glover. Both those men really float my boat.

Does anyone else remember the Nick Mancuso TV show Matrix? I don't remember quite clearly enough to be sure of the details, but Brimstone is almost exactly the same premise, except in Matrix the protagonist didn't kill in revenge for the rape of his wife - he was a professional hit man. And, yeah, I just looked, according to IMDb, Carrie-Anne Moss was in it too. How cool: starting a career of being in shows called Matrix. I hadn't even known she was Canadian.

Matrix didn't have John Glover, but you can't have everything. It did have Nick Mancuso. Trade-off.

Another cool connection: I sort-of know the woman who wrote that review on Matrix there on IMDb. A friend of friends. Small world.
