Oh, wow! It was just pointed out to me that the actress who plays River's teacher at the beginning of Serenity also plays Walt's mom on Lost. I knew she looked familiar!

Also, randomly from the front page of IMDB, today is the birthday of Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite, and their movie of the day is the musical version of Little Shop of Horrors! A good day for geekiness!
