This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I forgot tonight was a repeat. I am bummed.

At least we got a preview for the next new one. On the downside, I left my TV on and got sucked into Alias for a bit when I heard Larry Sullivan's voice. Though I suppose it's worth putting up with some highly unlikely suburban satire for the chance to listen to him.

Mostly horrified reactions from various people, with someone asking if Ethan was stll out there and someone else saying "I hope not." Then they showed Charlie and Ethan facing off in the jungle and the latter grabbing the former by his neck.

Imdb has a news item today about Lost:

Touchstone Television is likely to move production of Lost out of Hawaii unless the state comes up with tax credits to keep it there, the Honolulu Star Bulletin reported Wednesday. "Nobody wants to move," Lost producer Jean Higgins told the newspaper, "but this is a business and we must consider options to cut expenses." She said that the series is currently losing $500,000 per episode. The Star Bulletin said that considerable savings could be achieved by moving production to other states on the mainland that have actively been courting producers. Ted Liu, director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, said that state officials "have had many discussions with ABC about these issues and possible solutions."

I hope they don't have to move, because how the hell could they make the beach look the same without a whole lotta faking?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hawaii should sell out to keep them! Do they want to be remembered by North Shore and the cancelled Hawaii instead?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

how the hell could they make the beach look the same without a whole lotta faking?

Do what NYPD Blue has been doing for 11 years, shoot on a backlot and schedule three episodes worth of exteriors for one week a month, which they shoot on location. It would mean more Cave scenes, I bet, but it could be done. Hope not, though, as I LOVE the scenery.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am thinking:

A) Move to Vancouver. Plus: green. Minus: no sun; too cold to prance around in bikinis.

B) Move to LA. Plus: warm and sunny. Minus: not green except in rare cases.

C) Stay there.
