PREVIEW: The Girl of the Foxhole Dreams

Boy, do I get it now. I always felt it had a slightly negative connotation. Rabbits like to zig and zag as they run off confusing preditors-chasing rabbits down a hole means you too have to zig and zag getting dizzy -rabbits have a well developed inner ear balance and you become a dizzy fool falling down a hole running after your ambitions.

Many characters have unsettling dreams either psychic or PTSD-induced but this trope is never played straight outside a single occasion where it is strange enough to be remarked.

The Big Bang Theory: In an episode in the first season, Leonard and Sheldon and Raj and Wolowitz buy the original time machine, from the movie The Time Machine. After a commercial break, we see Sheldon in the machine, in a steamy jungle, as Morlocs close on him. He wakes up, in the apartment, screaming, in the time machine. Leonard comes out, they have a short discussion about getting rid of the machine, and Leonard calls in some movers Morlocs wearing jumpsuits that say "Hungry Morlocs" Sheldon awakens again, in his bed this time, and starts screaming, sitting upright rather stiffly as is his manner.

Sheldon also has a catapult nightmare about turning into Gollum — this was during an argument about a replica Ring and its ownership. Leonard once has a Sheldon-style rude awakening — he dreams that Sheldon really did reproduce asexually, like an amoeba. Cue Sheldon sitting upright in bed screaming.

Averted in Criminal Minds where Reid had a creepy nightmare but was very calm about it when he woke up.

But played straight with Rossi in another situation. A preview photo shows Ballard doing this in the upcoming Dollhouse episode "Needs". In the earlier episode "Divided We Stand", Trapper does this when Radar wakes him up in the middle of the night.

Considering Hawkeye's laughter immediately after, he probably just did it to screw with Radar. The "Eurosong" episode of Father Ted. Most of the times, though, she wakes up normally. Of course, considering who we're taking about , it's entirely possible she was trained to wake ready to fight. She also does so in the movie , first into another dream, finally into full waking. Whedon didn't want to use the dream within a dream cliche, but actress Summer Glau gave him two very good performances and he wanted to use them both.

Done all the time on Forever Knight , to the point that the poor main character can't seem to wake without it. Paul Slippery at the beginning of the third episode of Fortysomething in his second Dream Within a Dream awakening. He just jerks his head up and gasps the first time.

Tim screams hysterically, and then wakes up in bed crying: People on TV wake up from nightmares the same way immortals on Highlander wake up from being dead. This is a frequently Averted Trope on House.

Usually, we cut to an extreme close-up of the character dreaming and see their eyes snap open, sometimes to a shhff sound-effect.

Same for hallucinations, when we cut to other characters reacting to the "out of it" character. In both cases, the character is usually House himself. Jane does this in Jane the Virgin She does this every time she wakes up from one of her recurring Bad Dreams reliving the night when she found her husband Michael bleeding out on the floor. She also has nightmares of her son Mateo being kidnapped again after his kidnapping in the series 1 finale. Kate does this in the season 4 finale. The series averts this in the first season: Charlotte thrashes around and hurts herself, but does not sit bolt upright.

Happens constantly in the Chzo Mythos series. Happens about three times in 5 Days a Stranger, twice in 7 Days a Skeptic, and is scripted to happen twice in 6 Days, but it also happens if you die — your death inexplicably becomes a dream, and you just wake up quickly in your bed with a minor scare note. Happens to Thrall in the opening cutscene of Warcraft 3. Sims do this on rare occasions, usually when something traumatic has recently happened.

There exists at least one hack to trigger it on command.

Zero is prone to these in Mega Man X due to his Dark and Troubled Past and apparently sleeps with his capsule open to facilitate them. Used in one of the endings of Ao Oni: Shepard starts having these during Mass Effect 3.

Lamar starts off the fifth chapter of We Are The Wyrecats waking up from a flashback dream in this manner.

In Damaged , Emily has one in episode 3, "Recycling Day". In Justice League , "Fearful Symmetry", Supergirl wakes up from a nightmare in which she cruelly hunts down and kills a citizen, to find she burned holes in the ceiling with her heat vision.

The Simpsons , frequently. Subverted in the second Treehouse of Horror special, where Homer didn't catapult awake because he had a nightmare, but rather because Bart bit him. Also humorously played straight at the end of Bart's nightmare in the same special, not because anything generally scary happened, but to Bart it's a wonderful dream, until Homer kisses him, which causes him to wake up screaming long and loud complete with the camera zooming into his screaming black mouth.

He then says, "hmmm, that's funny. That usually ends the dream. Lampshaded on a commentary, where they ask if it's even possible to sit bolt upright. It is, but you'd have to be a little fitter than Homer. One of the funniest comes from "Moaning Lisa" in which Homer dreams that he and Bart turn into the characters from the video game "Super Slugfest" and Bart is about to beat him to death, Homer wakes up screaming then almost immediately falls back to sleep.

Played with in the episode "The Sweetest Apu". After Homer stumbled on Apu cheating on Manjula with the Squishee girl, he ends dreaming that Apu brings out the Squishee girl in the typical harem room environment, and then tells the eunuch Homer to avert his eyes before making love with the Squishee girl. Homer then bolts up and screams, then wonders what an "eunuch" is, consulting to the dictionary, and then screams again when he learns what the definition of an eunuch is.

The second scream is what wakes Marge up. Lampshaded at the end of nightmare in "Bart Sells His Soul": Sherri and Terri and their respective souls: Marge, I think I hate No wait, I find him informative and witty. Actually he sings pretty good and is a noble guy. Creo que odio a Michael Jackson! La verdad es que canta bien y es noble. Did we get captured again? That's what you think! Bill [in Dipper's mind]: Hey, wanna hear my impression of you in about three seconds? Certain people will react this way, most notably to dreams that feel real dreams where you are in your bed for instance.

Will often wake up kicking, punching, or screaming. Waking from a dream that there is a snake in your bed is a pretty strong justification for leaping from the bed and hitting the light switch. Some people actually feel pain from perceived injuries sustained during dreams , so a nightmare where one is experiencing some form of injury, the pain will jolt them awake, sort of like the polar opposite of a sexual dream. As mentioned, night terrors , also known as sleep terrors, also known as pavor nocturnus , are often a specific example of this.

While bolting upright doesn't always happen, it's a common occurrence and is usually accompanied by hysterical screaming and an inability to be comforted until the episode passes. That said, night terrors themselves are a very rare occurrence. I'm not a huge fan of his, though, so that doesn't make me upset. He's in some good movies, but he isn't one of those actors that I'd go to see a movie based solely around the fact that he's in it, you know?

She was the director's assistant and said otherwise. Needless to say, she was very disappointed. Still, I enjoy him in movies. I'll just remember not to say hi to him if I see him in person. I've been watching the show for a couple of years, my ex gf loved it and I used to make fun of her for watching it. I moved out, caught an episode with John Lithgow and was like yep, I'm hooked. Having said that, I think Batista has always been my favorite character.

I was actually thinking that last night watching Sundays episode I recorded. As far as "divas" go, the only outburst I saw was from Desmond Harrington Quinn during filming of episode 9.

Upcoming Events

We didn't wrap until 3: The director wasn't happy with a few of Desmond's lines and there was some delay due to the big action scene. After a dozen or so takes of a single line of his, he yelled something along the lines of "Come on! It's fucking 3 in the morning! We all want to go home. That was not a very fun day on set Jennifer Carpenter Deb - Very pretty but shorter than I imagined.

I never got to speak with her but she was very friendly with others. Hall - Very reserved, doesn't make unnecessary conversation, fairly stoic and quiet. I met him at craft services, said hi and asked how his day was going. He glanced up with a slight smile, said "Hi" and "Fine". I imagine he's used to fans flipping out around him so he's probably a little hesitant to talk to extras. I'm not sure if he's a method actor persae but he definitely had a lot of similarities to Dexter the few times I was around him.

Quinn - Always in character, focused on his lines and blocking, not too interested in conversation. Jason Gedrick Novikov - Super flirtatious. I first met him outside of the hair and makeup trailer on my first day and he came over, introduced himself, and said "I'm your boss" in a slightly suggestive way he's the manager of the Foxhole on the show. He always made a point to flirt with me a little on set. He has three young sons late teens, early 20's who he brought to set one day and it seemed the only reason was to let them see all of the topless dancers.

Ray Stevenson Sirko - All I can say is hot damn that man is sexy! We first met in the hair and makeup trailer when he came and sat in the chair next to me to get all done up. I had a hard time not staring. Or drooling for that matter God damn she is. She wasn't in any of the club scenes so I didn't get to meet her. I probably would've drooled all over her though so I think that's a good thing.

My cousins loved Chuck, so I see her as her blonde American character from that first, but Miranda is definitely a close second.

the foxhole court – Sprinkles of Dreams

Only once or twice during dinner they would feed the whole cast and crew inside the police offices which was actually the exit of the stripclub. We never met but whomever he was talking to was always laughing up a storm. Terrible location to build your strip club. No wonder they're always putting the squeeze on it. Holy shit, I watched Rome 5 years ago and never put it together that was Titus Pullo! I loved that character! Rome is still my favorite HBO series.

Thanks for pointing this out. I wouldn't say that. I didn't find him creepy since he wasn't that forward, he's just a very charming guy. His style is so good. Thanks for doing this AMA! I was technically an extra, although I received higher pay than the general extras such as the club patrons since I was cast in a specific-type role. I got time and a half after 10 hours, double time after 12 hours, and my day rate per hour after 15 hours. The longest day I ever worked was There was one day where I only worked 3 hours but other than that, it was always hours per day.

I was only able to watch the first 3 episodes of the series damn you Netflix Instant! It's an awesome show, you're lucky to have gotten to be on it and meet everyone. I guess you've probably already had plenty spoiled from being around some scenes, and certain characters not being present, but the more surprises left, the better.

I'm sure they were pretty strict about taking photos on set; but do you have anything else you can share? It was very strict. One extra even got banned from the show after selling a plot secret to a fan site. As strict as they were, toward the end of the day some of the crew gets stoned and lets us do things we're not really supposed to. Here are some pics on set:.

With the air conditioner in Dexter's "house". These are with some of the dancers and another waitress on the lot at around 2AM while on a break from shooting: Did this include Michael C. I can't imagine Dexter stoned He'd probably kill someone for a container of chees puffs. Does he seem like the type of guy that likes to be alone? Thanks for doing this AMA btw! Michael C was born to play Dexter imo lol. From the few times I was around him I think you could say that. He just seems very serious about his job and I think he's probably a little guarded being around a ton of extras that could easily be crazed superfans.

And no, I'm not breaking any rules since the season has already wrapped and I'm not giving away any spoilers. Yes they were very strict on that. We were only allowed to say that it was a stripclub called The Foxhole, what our role was, and that a good portion of the plot takes place there.

We weren't allowed to reveal anything specific or take pictures. Did you interact with Michael c hall at all? I'd bet he's almost as odd as the characters he's played. No killings took place in the stripclub that I'm aware of, so no. I would have loved to be an extra in the ice cream scene though. Where the people on set fun to be around or was it all very serious? Thanks for doing the AMA: It was a ton of fun! Morale was always super high and it was the most playful, nicest crew I had ever worked with.

I've been modeling on and off since I was a kid but really kicked things into high gear in when I moved to LA to pursue it. Aside from Dexter I've done quite a bit of extra work, I was in the season of Bones, am in the ads that will be coming out soon for Eva Longoria's new show Ready For Love, I've fronted a few smaller campaigns like Papaya and Nina Canacci.

I've also been in a few fashion shows, lookbooks, and have done some private work for a few well-known photographers not what you think, I promise. Dream all you want: That's what the internet's for, right? I've actually just left the entertainment industry to live a fuller life in Oregon and its one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I had a great time in the business but its so much more difficult than anyone gives you credit for. Not in Portland, I'm in the Eastern part of the state. Not exactly retired since I'm starting a business from scratch, but geez it feels good to have the city-load off my shoulders. Not unless you are a female with a passion for humane childbirth and willing to move to a very isolated rural town. Haha well there are plenty of great little towns out there, you just have to give them a chance: Best of luck in your search for a better life!

You seem like you have a really good head on your shoulders. I don't have anything to ask, but I just want you to know that I think you're awesome. Well, I hope your fuller life in Oregon is better for you than your life in the business. Best of luck to you, foxholewaitress. I grew up in California and had only visited the snow so this is my first time living in it. Between that and the fall color, I've seriously been missing out!

Now if I could just fatten up a bit I'd be a little less shivery! Model bodies don't do well in less than 60 degrees: Besides starring at Sirko, did you get to talk to him? What was he like on set? He was one of my favorite characters this season. The strippers in the club who are giving lapdances, etc; are they professional strippers or are they actors? Have always wondered this about tv shows that feature strippers, especially the ones who seem to be able to do pole dancing work.

They're models and actors. Most of us got the job through the same agency which is sort of a "hot babes" specialty agency. When they put out the casting call they asked for girls to play waitresses and dancers. The dancers don't have to do it professionally, they just need to make it look real.

Some of them did dance on the side but none of them were strippers primarily. Do you have an idea what happens in the end of the season? I really hope that bitch LaGuerta gets what she has coming. You call her a bitch but she's trying to catch the worst murderer ever and she's right in all of her suspicions. Sounds pretty decent to me. Seriously, though, I don't want her to die yet, because that last season would be boring as shit without her as an antagonist.
