I was looking for a clip.

[RandomThoughts]

From the Showtime production of 'Long Days Journey Into Night"
There is a scene with Kevin Spacey and Lemon from the Showtime version that is really good

I found this clip instead, have not seen many shows with this actor in his youth, and found it interesting.

He is the guy that played the cynical Cylon Cavil, and the assistant in Quantum Leap.

And much can be learned from either of those roles, there is a scene from the Cylon that is similar to that scene.




That is how I think of the feeling of being "in the Zone".

There is a comment from BSG, where that same character speaks of his dislike of his human eyes, how he wants to see the sun with machine eyes, and feel the radiation of a supernova as he should in his original form, I think that speech is very similar to the speech in that play.


Brother Cavil: In all your travels, have you ever seen a star go supernova?
Ellen Tigh: No.
Brother Cavil: No? Well, I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air.
Ellen Tigh: The five of us designed you to be as human as possible.
Brother Cavil: I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!


And I am due,
Beer and travel money,
And many experiences.


Some are scared by such thoughts in films, and even judge it with much ire, I think it is a natural desire to go home again, and don't see it the same way.

2. Yea, he is a talented actor, still like the Kevin Spacey scene with Jack Lemon better.

But that could be becuase that is where I first saw that play.

He was really good in BSG, and in many other shows like Quantum Leap also.
