    "A real physical transformation for the butch actress"

    I wasn't aware that she was butch? Or had a physically transformation ... lol. She looks nearly exactly the same as she did when she was young on the NZ Holiday travel show.

    C'mon, NOT butch? The star of Xena Warrior Princess? Next you'll be telling me she's going to star as Elisabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice. A physical transformation in terms of mannerism, I meant. Far less cocky and confident than she usually is. But yes, she's ageing quite well.

    I did find the PM's return a big waste of time really, it just served to weaken how funny he was last week, and seeing as Murray is usually the supplier of the best jokes, it's a shame seeing him have to play second fiddle to a "senior" character two weeks in a row. I wasn't a big fan of the song, but I loved the hair gel plotline, I thought it was nice to see a slightly new avenue of ideas and jokes open up to the usual. It wasn't a great episode, but there was a lot I liked about it.

    On a completely different note - and I don't wanna divert comments or anything, but not sure where else to mention it - have you seen Watchmen yet? Went to see it tonight, and loved it!

    Moments in the hair gel plot were responsible for the 1-star. But they should have done more with the idea of the Conchords becoming cool and successful.

    Re: Watchmen. No, I may see it this Sunday. Or perhaps the weekend after. Not much time for the cinema these days, but especially just now. But I WILL see it before April, defo. And a review will be forthcoming, 'cos there aren't enough Watchmen reviews in the world, I feel.
