Sweet Child O’ Mine Notes and Trivia

Since they took away the new episode last night and replaced it with a repeat, let us make the best of it, shall we?

Sweet Child O’ Mine

Notes, Trivia, and Completely Biased Opinions

Gina Hecht plays Dr. Andrews, mother to the boy accused of murdering his coffee-shop boss. She looks familiar, doesn’t she? But where have you seen her before…?

EVERYWHERE, that’s where. Check our her IMDb profile. She has been in several movies (including one where she played God), but mostly she has been all over TV. I’m not sure if she would be happy to know this or not, but I remember her from when she guest starred on Star Trek:The Next Generation in the episode A Matter of Perspective. The worst part? That episode aired in 1990. That was SEVENTEEN years ago people. She still looks exactly the same. (Only without the alien makeup and prosthetics.)

Scanlon was totally flirting with Allison in this episode! And the part where she holds up the Chinese Restaurant page she tore out of the phone book and asks him if he wants to check it out with her? Do you think he thought it was a date-ish rendezvous? Maybe just a leeetle beeet?

The Oracle calculates Gina Hecht’s degree of separation from the Medium cast before she guest starred in this episode:

Patricia Arquette
Gina Hecht was in Edtv (1999) with Jay Leno

Jay Leno was in “Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The” (1992) {(2005-11-10)} with Patricia Arquette

Jake Weber
Jake Weber was in Love Thy Neighbor (2002/I) with Scott Wolf (I)

Scott Wolf (I) was in “Everwood” (2002) {Complex Guilt (#3.11)} with Gina Hecht

Miguel Sandoval
Miguel Sandoval (I) was in “District, The” (2000) {Imperfect Victims (#1.7)} with Gina Hecht

David Cubitt
David Cubitt was in “Outer Limits, The” (1995) {Dark Matters (#1.11)} with Gregory Smith (I)

Gregory Smith (I) was in “Everwood” (2002) {Complex Guilt (#3.11)} with Gina Hecht

Maria Lark
Maria Lark was in “Medium” (2005) {Doctor’s Orders (#2.12)} with James Eckhouse

James Eckhouse was in “Strong Medicine” (2000) {Zol Zein Gezint (#2.10)} with Gina Hecht

Sofia Vassilieva
Sofia Vassilieva was in “Medium” (2005) {Suspicions and Certainties (#1.2)} with John Mese

John Mese was in Pizza My Heart (2005) (TV) with Gina Hecht

Methinks The Oracle cheated with those last two, using other Medium episodes, but they are child actors who have not been in much yet so I am giving The Oracle a break.

So Allison had a son. We did not know that before this episode. I wonder what Patricia Arquette’s real life son Enzo looks like. At 17, he is even older than her TV dream son, who was 15.

Got any more trivia or comments on Sweet Child O’ Mine?
