Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

OK, so it may show my investment that all the other stuff on Alias doesn't make me weepy, but Keira dying made me bawl?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really don't understand why the tv people get so specific about locations, if they aren't going to shoot on location, or even try that hard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Honestly, I have no idea why Point Pleasant needs to be in New Jersey. From the description, I can't see a reason why it can't be Point Pleasant, CA.

Yeah, aside from the "New Jersey" signs, one or two mentions of it, and the fact that the gas station was full service, making this New Jersey made no sense at all. (That whitefont is really not a spoiler at all.)

Trust my rage

Re: Alias. So Ice 5 is basically Illyria in injectable form .

Yeah, sarameg, I thought that was actually really well done. I bought that sort of instant emotional intimacy between her and Vaughn, which made her death actually mean something .

Also? The eybal crystallization reminded me of the Fred-to-Illyria transformation.

Jesse, I KNOW! Like Alias. DC Metro !=LA metro!

Just stage them in LA and leave it. So much easier. And besides, their weird schedule and job hopping would blend perfectly with Hollywood (apologies to all LAistas.)

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

Are you cracking wise about our banks???

Dear lord, where is my pizza?


sarameg - Jan 19, 2005 5:10:34 pm PST #8316 of 10002

I think I'm very susceptible to that scenario. I'm not bad, I'm just stuck and ahhhhhrg DEAD

The Fred thing didn't occur to me. But oh yeah. Did I mention I sobbed to the point of puffy face the next morning on that? Cause I did.

I think Jen and I are sharing the same brain tonight.

Your pizza is being delivered to your neighbor. No, I just mean, they could say bank but...OK. Yeah. Got me. But STILL! DC is conservative (timewise).
