Not vortex, but I can answer the Eyes questions:
it turns out that she shot him so that it took out part of his head. He explained it as some sort of injury acquired while repairing his car. (I think.) I also think it was lame.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We had the Whole Earth catalog. We had stack of them in the basement.
I think we used to go online with Compuserve. Yeah, that was it. I remember Dad checking out the FAA weather reports. That was - 21 years ago, maybe?

sumi, you're right, it was totally lame. But I am so totally ambivalent about Nora Gage. She's smoking hot, dangerous, smart, and interesting. But, she's a traitor. But I love her! I am torn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks sumi and Vortex! And agreed, LAME. Ah well.
We watched Eyes after watching this week's Grey's Anatomy last night, and Eyes suffered mightily by the juxtaposition. Enh, it's relatively entertaining.

ChiKat: Maybe not.
Anne Rice and Bujold and Farmer and other sciffies of the just-barely pre-cyberpunk era would meet up on Wednesday evenings in a chatroom. I would lurk, in amazement. It was awesome.
It could have been Genie. In fact, I think it was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am saddened by the reported lameness of Eyes 2 (haven't seen it yet). Last week was pretty fun. Grey's Anatomy isn't art, but it's charming. Is it Juliana's friend that plays the dorkish male intern? He's my Marshall -- I just don't get the appeal of Alias!Marshall -- I want to slap him and not indulge his misfitness. But George, oh, George. Sure, he's no Dr. Patrick Dempsey, or Dr. Isaiah Washington, but he's kinda dork!hot.

Exactly. I was very pleasantly surprised. But we'll see.
Who still has the first ep of Grey's? We missed it.
