"This is the true story (country twang, True Storrrrey!) of seven strangers, picked to live in a house and have their lives taped, and find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting REAL. The Real World!"
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OK, maybe I'll do the whole thing:
Where am I? / In the village. / What do you want? / We want information. / Who's side are you on? / That would be telling. We want information. Information. Information. / You won't get it! / By hook or by crook, we will. / Who are you? / The new number 2. / Who is number 1? / You are number 6. (or as it's been interpreted sometimes You are, number 6). / I am not a number, I am a FREE man! / Moohahahahahah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In New York City, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous...
Wait, you said "great," right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
"Here's how it is: Earth got used up, so we terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. Central Planets, them as formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Serenity. Got a good crew: fighters, pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher, and a bona fide companion. There's a doctor, too, his genius sister from some Alliance camp, so they're keeping a low profile. You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is."

What's the one that has "Get a ship and someone to crew it" and something about a gun?
Didn't Alias have Sydney giving a voiceover in the first season? I can't find the text of it anywhere.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The story you are about to see is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What was the one with the phrase "There are 8 million stories in the naked city. This is one of them."?
That would be "Naked City".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi. I just skipped 600 posts, and I'm not quite sure why we're quoting TV openings, but it's entertaining to read.
I just got new glasses and contacts. When I got the old ones, two years ago, my corrected vision was 20/15. My corrected vision two days ago with those old glasses was close to 20/40. This could explain why I've been complaining that studying for too long gives me a headache. Now I've got new glasses and can actually see stuff, which is very nice.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am the wild blue yonder. The front line in a never-ending battle between good... and not-so good. Together, with my stalwart sidekick, Arthur, and the magnanimous help of some other folks I know, we form the yin to villainy's malevolent yang. Destiny has chosen us. Wicked men! You face...The Tick!"
Hmm. Perhaps I'll watch that tonight...
