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

Oh, yay. We're in luck.

Last spring, Fox decided not enough people were watching Playing It Straight on free TV. Nine months later, it wants to see how many people are willing to watch the canceled reality series as a pay-per-view download.

All eight episodes of Playing It Straight, including the five unaired installments, will be available for $1.99 a pop, or $9.99 for the whole season, at Fox.com starting Monday.

"This is an experiment," Fox spokesman Scott Grogin said Friday. "We're going to see what the response is. There was a fairly vocal fan base for Playing It Straight. This is simply an opportunity to test the system."

Watch that back, Theo. They can be bitches.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bwahahaha!

Also, the Edwardian era ends.

I'm a spoiling fool.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Being lazy this morning. I'm still in my pajamas. Soon I will shower and dress, and then head to Fell's Point to spend money at the mystery bookstore.

I am almost done with all the Vorkosigan books, and I just want to start from the beginning. And I want to buy them all. I have Issues.

Heh. I've recently started gobbling these books down, and so I think has meara. Just finished Ethan of Athos, which isn't Miles, but in the same timeline. ita's right though - it was the figuring out what the hell to read and in what order that kept me away for so long.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

OK, that show and everything about was vile and despicable. I want this PPV venture to die on the vine.

And yet? The idea of being able to get missed episodes and even an entire season of a show without having to count on a DVD release sometime in the future - doesn't suck. Now I'm all torn and shit.

I'm not! (Sorry, I just don't get to say that very often)
