Buffistas

Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

See, Wolfram, there could have been kids movies about anything else, and STILL all we'd have seen was SciFi. My dad's a SciFi buff, had a sub to Analog until the early 90s, and back issues floating all over the house. (When I was 12, I went on a binge and read about a decade and a half's worth of them in a week or two.) TV meant Star Wars reruns, Blake's 7, or Dr Who. There was no escaping it.

(My mother's mainly a non-fiction reader, which means most of my early fiction reading? Also Sci-fi. I think I hit the RAH stack at about 10/11.)

I imagine that the psychological effect Dune has on me is what ADD must be like.

Loved the books, though. When I was a freshman in high school, my mom's boyfriend gave me a bunch of books for my birthday that I probably wouldn't have found for ages otherwise: Dune, Zelazny, and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Good times.

I'm the only scifi fan in my immediate family. Which supports my theory that as a baby I was beamed through a wormhole from an alternate universe.

Going back to a much earlier question...

When is this mystery new show to air?

It looks like it will be March-ish.

March-ish.

My view of the season half-way point is now skewed all to hell with new shows starting in January. Is this going to be a "mid-season replacement?"

All is well that ends in pizza.

Is there an Attention Surplus Disorder?

I could have used one to finish Dune.

Oh March, huh? I had it in my head for January, so I would have been sad. Well, not really. Still. March-ish. Good to know.

Is this going to be a "mid-season replacement?"

It is indeed.

Though now that Fox is on this weird new year-round programming schedule, they should really stop calling things that. They should call it "New Spring Programming" or something.

ETA:

I had it in my head for January

So did I. I don't know why.

If I only had a brain...

Is there an Attention Surplus Disorder?

I think it's called Geek Adolescence.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well January would be better, plus birthday gift to the Capricorns on the right half of the sign. March is forever away. Luckily I am enjoying much of this season's TV, so I will survive.
