It was only a couple of days ago when our son was watching the television adaptation of Training Day, that I happily pointed out the lead on the show was Chet from Weird Science, A movie we had shared with him hardly a week before when we were going through a John Hughs faze, as we sometimes do. Months before we also marathoned the Terminator, Alien, and Predator series' and remember one of us saying, "wow, Bill Paxton is in everything!" Not only does that seem to be the case but he is an important character actor in just about every film that we hold dear to our hearts from The Lords of Discipline to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. His unashamed lack of ego, ability to steal a scene, and humor will forever be a challenge to his peers. But sadly, for now, to one of the greatest and most prolific actors to ever grace our screens, to the actor that has been killed on screen by the ultimate trifecta of monsters (an Alien, Terminator, and Predator), to the one I've often bragged of sharing a day of birth with, it is with sad hearts we must bid Bill Paxton a Creepercast farewell. Yet, we refuse to believe his famous Alien quote here, since we strongly believe the game is never over, only just beginning.
