I laughed out loud at the Alias evil genius line.
Also, we had 1/2 inch of snow and there are children *stranded* at their schools. Apparently the solution to the snow is "wait until it gets above freezing."
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Ooh. Say more about Alias, please? I'm trying to figure out if I should tape Point Pleasant and watch Alias, or the other way around. And I have to decide really soon, because I have class, and I'll need to set the VCR. (I will probably miss the first few minutes, too, of whichever one I end up just watching.) Help me make my decision, please?

Well, it's been extra funny, weird, and snarky in the first 25 minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alibelle, rumour has it that PP sucks, so I'd prioritise with the bad reviews.

Nonian, where do you live? That sounds amazingly like my hometown (Las Cruces, NM.) Sure, the state had snowplows. In the mountains. It made more sense to just wait until it melted, since often that was by 2 pm.
When my officemate was whining about the 1-3 inches we got today and I was calling him a wuss, I didn't share that such would have shut down the entire state in NM. Except the mountains. We had snow days over a mere inch of snow.

Yeah, that cracked me up, too, Nonian. That and the whole thing at the beginning with Weiss reminding the guy what his code phrase was .
And, I like the Scot doctor's accent .
Oh, oh, and Jack with "It did. It stopped. "

Well, i live outside Chapel Hill, NC right now. I promised myself when I moved here I wouldn't bitch about snow/southern driving, but hearing the hype over no snow is too much.

Heh. NC isn't much better (I went to college in G'boro.) It was mostly ice storms while I was there (I thankfully missed the great blizzard of '96 on the east coast.)
