Another screen cap from an ep, but also why Weiss/Vaughn exists.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That does make me wonder if I'd forgive Vartan upon hearing that he was rebounding with Greg Grunberg.

Actually, Alias is the only show I don't care if I get max spoiled on. Mainly because it's just got so much happening that I forget 90% of what I've heard by the time the episode airs. I still get major HSQ, but I have some idea of what's going on at the same time. Which, since I missed all of season 1, some of season 2 and some of season 3, I kind of need it to keep up to speed. If there's too many blanks left in my mind after watching an episode, I ask my boss what happened because he's been watching it all since the beginning. I really should get the DVDs and end my torture.

I've loved the DVDs. They have basically prompted my Alias love.

When I got really far behind, I just kept thinking, "Pretty people. Things go boom!"

I think that even when I'm not behind.

yeah, when the episodes are bad (hello, lauren, I'm looking at your plot and your existance), then that's all that saves it for me.

On DVDs, you can fastforward through Lauren. PLUS bloopers. And the bloopers are GREAT.

The DVDs are the next thing on my netflix list.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I enjoy Alias, but Vartan leaves me cold. I think it's because I started watching at the end of S2, and he's so damned *annoying* in S3. Bleah.

I like Weiss, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, come on. Surely we can trust dating advice from a guy whose books include "Get girls with hypnotism" and "How to pick up exotic dancers".

It's wrong that my first thought was 'Jughandles!', right?

Yeah, you don't want to sit too close to the stage for the Nutcracker, though. The pretty goes away when you can see their tendons.

My Get Fuzzy desk calendar today has the following exchange:

Rob: "We're going to see "The Nutcracker."
Bucky: If you're taking us to the vet, just say "the vet"!

My DH had front-row seats for this ballet, and was really deeply disturbed by getting to see the dancers dance offstage, collapse in the wings, sweat, towel off, have a cigarette, scratch themselves, etc. Sort of ruined the theater magic I guess.

I just received a Christmas gift that may get me struck by lightning: a Lego set called "Vampire's Crypt" and a DVD of "Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter." Which appears to be a musical and a kung-fu action movie. It's brilliant.
