I suspect Kristen Bell and SMG are guilty of the same crimes: They're little, pretty, often blond, and relatively successful in a field where it's often difficult to pay the rent, never mind succeed. Oh, and they aren't shipping for the right ships.

The "All shall love me and despair" is the end of it, before she realizes she passes the test.

Thanks. That was the part of the movie I never did get, and assumed that I had to read the book, I was unlikely ever to do.

Well, they don't actually ship (that I know of). But they dare to give their opinions in interviews, as to what might happen next, or which pairing they'd enjoy.

I'd forgotten you weren't big on LotR. It seems to me you should be. Correct that, please. And while you're at it, correct your WRONG assessment of the BBS, who is clearly DEAD.

I too wonder if Brainiac will fall in love with Lana. I still love Lex, but I could barely watch even his scenes last season. Now? I must see how all this will go down with JM in the mix.

I had to quickly run away from the VM fandom. It got so crazy so quickly. Seemingly powered by the worst part of BTVS fandom.

His big thing used to be shrinking down cities and bottling them... maybe he could miniaturize Paris while Lana is visiting? Everybody wins!

Well, I'm not anti-LotR, and I've seen all the movies at least twice. I just never got into the books.

As for the BBS, I am so of the RIGHT, the RIGHTness of me just shines through. ALIVE!!! (You neener, you.) See, the BBS stuff reminds me of the fun times in the Bronze. Long ago, in a galaxy fandom far, far away. I even miss the shipper "wars" there -- I did so love the "BufFy N AnglE 4EVA!!!" posts, or at least the mocking of them.

BuffIe is fit!

I'm just sad that the original Zod rumors were untrue. Well, not that sad, as I'd be in a froth of One True Zodness and cranky with fans of the new Zod, but damn it, the thought of a million Kneel Before Zod related jokes was very entertaining.

Yes, I am aware that I need to get out more.

but damn it, the thought of a million Kneel Before Zod related jokes was very entertaining.

So, in Spoilers Hard to Avoid news (seriously, the local news website and TWO of the baby blogs I read spoiled me for it today), they're working JG's pregnancy into Alias. Sydney will be pregnant with blah blah blah Vaughn/NotVaughn's sprog.

I'll be over here, rolling my eyes and cursing Affleck's sperm.

This sort of thing never ends well.

Do you think that's why they're bringing on Rachel Nichols? I think I read something in the casting spoiler connected to her, about Sydney training a couple of other women. I remember at the time wondering how much of it was related to JG's pregnancy.
