Yeah, between the SciFi series going on hiatus, The Insideand Carnivàle being cancelled, and Lost getting on my last good nerve with all the broken promises of its season finale, the herd will be thin enough for me to manage come Fall.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

If I only had a brain...
You still had a good nerve? Lucky bastard.

I'm still bitter about Joan of Arcadia and Dead Like Me

Never watched Joan, as Jaye Tyler was my quirky girl with a direct line to God, but I'm right there with you about Dead Like Me. Admittedly, it lost all just about all its sense of humor along with Bryan Fuller after the first season.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But it still had Mandy Patinkin!

Not a selling point for me - in everything Patinkin's been in where he wasn't paired with Andre the Giant he's made me want to smack the smugness out of his expression with a 2x4.
Ellen Muth and Jasmine Guy kept me invested right up to the end, though

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I mentioned in the movies thread that I went to a special screening of a Bruce Campbell movie connected to his book tour. Before the movie he talked about making it. It was produce by SciFi and I have already seen previews for it on the channel. the movie is called "the man with the screaming brain".
Anyway, he said all of SciFi's movies are filmed in Romania. No matter where they are set, that is where they are filmed. So, he took his script that was set in LA and rewrote it for Romania just so it wouldn't look as stupid as thier other movies do. The movie looks pretty stupid anyway, but Campbell's explanation was hilarious.

Thrive to spite them
Dad and I watched AVP this weekend, being broke I could only offer him a movie rental and dessert. He wanted to rent something called Alien 3000, but I talked him into Alien V Predator. Sunday when I was doing around listened to the commentary (there are two) with the director, Lance Henrikson,and whatshername the girl.
The director explained that it was filmed in Prague because it was so much cheaper. He gave cost for the sets in LA. Vancouver, a couple of other places and Prauge. Prauge cost $3 million which was a savings of like $15 million compared to LA (I think).
I also learned that the guy who played the main Predator is 7'1" tall and they couldnt' find anyone close to his height, so the other two Predator actors are only 6'something so in the full body shots they had to make it look like the other two were standing way behind the tall guy.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

That's insane. While there aren't a huge number of people who are over 7', they could have called up the roster of any NBA team and found a couple of guys off the end of the bench to do it. Greg Ostertag comes to mind, after his star turn in Eddie. Hell, they could have called me, and I would have lent them my 16 year old, who is 6'9".
