Will FOX Ruin The Sarah Connor Chronicles?

Now from the Meager Minds at Fox Television:

Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly has dictated that John Connor will have a new love interest in the form of soap actress Leven Rambin.

Executive producer Joss Friedman capitulated: "I said, 'Yeah, maybe we could have a girl come in around Episode 8 or 9.' ... We compromised at Episode 2."

Not that Fox execs have had much success in meddling with the creativity of their shows in the past. Does "Firefly" ring a bell?

Australia

I was looking at stuff online about Baz Luhrmann's upcomming film "Australia". www.australiamovie.com/ has links to the Apple collaborative site for film education. You can subscribe to their iTunes podcast that has short videos about making movies.

In the "Location" lesson were several shots of a distinctive mesa in the north west of Austraila, near Kununurra, WA. I thought, "I bet I can find that hill on Google Map or Google Earth."

Well, I think I did. Take a look at the pictures below and the Google links and see what you think. As I say in Google Maps:
The hill in the background of the cattle station in the movie "Australia", by Baz Luhrmann, found at www.apple.com/go/settoscreen. The distinctive "prow" on the southern tip of the hill, or mesa (as we call it in the US), is the telling feature.
