‘The sweet iced tea will never stop’
Video by Tyler Shields. Featuring Alessandra Torresani and Matt Dallas.
And Tyler Shields.
And on a somewhat related note, NBC is on the fence regarding canceling Caprica – the prequel to the brilliant Battlestar Galactica – where Torresani plays The First Cylon.
Because NBC is really good at canceling all the good shows.
These days, I’m really missing Brandon Tartikoff. He was incredible at giving low rated/great shows a chance.

And . . . Give Caprica another chance here. Vote!
