sumi, yeah, every week I really do intend to watch it, but then I get distracted. I usually remember to turn Survivor on halfway through, so I'll try to make a note to change channels afterwards this week.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.
'Serenity'
Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Finally got to "Dalek," which was much better. Except for the score.
And I remembered to watch "Supernatural." Which makes me happier because I don't expect it to be good. I was a bit sad that the boys are wearing less mascara these days, though. I learned that, as if they aren't evil enough, vampires always drive with their highbeams on. Jerks.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, they are evil.
(Perhaps that was to blind on-coming traffic for easier snacking?)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Not that Supernatural is always big with the sense-making anyway, but considering vampires in the Supernatural-verse are nigh-invulnerable with strength, speed and senses superior to a human and can multiply fairly easily, I find it hard to believe Daddy Winchester would actually believe them hunted to extinction.
And then Smallville was a lame Saw rip-off with too-little Chloe and a very non Clark/Supes threatening of Lionel by Clark. Bleh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Paramount is breathing life into its "Star Trek" franchise by setting "Mission: Impossible III" helmer J.J. Abrams to produce and direct the 11th "Trek" feature, aiming for a 2008 release.
I, personally, don't consider this an improvement over Rick Berman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do consider it an improvement. If he holds to form, it'll be only loosely tied to canon, but hella exciting.
And Trek could totally do with some excitement.

If this account of Abrams' involvement with the Superman movie is reliable, then it means the man has an utter contempt for canon.

You left out the funny part
Project, to be penned by Abrams and "MI3" scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will center on the early days of seminal "Trek" characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission.
I think I'm gonna write a blockbuster movie about a hero who goes around slaying undead franchises.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In my mind I'm going to a Sith Academy place with this. Which brings the slashier side of fandom around full circle, in its way.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That idea of Kirk and Spock at the academy has been floating around for a very long time, so you can't blame it on Abrams.
