Nothing about R Kelly surprises me anymore, now that I've had to deal with his lack of prosecution.
I went shopping today, and showed up just after they closed. How IRRITATING. Especially since I can't get back until next weekend.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

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.

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

Okay, I am watching the weirdest R. Kelly video on TV right now. he is singing some lame story and acting out every part.
Is it about Jesus saving him? Or the girls who like semen?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
their survival instincts are not all that good. Attempted chicknapping by another female penguin? Noooooooo!!! Scary predator bird attacking the chicks? Eh, whatever. But then, I knew that from Winged Migration.)
I had the same reaction, Jess, and now I am wondering about something. Maybe Billytea or someone else can answer it. I can't believe I am going to whitefont it, but it is a spoiler under our policy. According to Morgan, the seal killed both the female penguin it caught, and the femaie penguin's chick, who wouldn't get fed. I always thought penguins would look after orphaned penguins. Am I wrong?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My impression was that the females can only store enough food for their own chick. But I could be wrong.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. A lot of the eggs didn't hatch, and a lot of other chicks died, so there must be some adult females that came back to no baby. There were also, presumably, chicks whose mothers died. I thought these got "paired" up. I could be wrong though.
I need to go watch Winged Migration, or see if I can buy the Life of birds on Ebay, I think.

Oh, right, I didn't think of that.
Probably just melodramatic voiceover, then.
Life in the Freezer has more penguins than Life of Birds, as far as 10-part BBC-produced Attenborough-narrated nature programs go, but I'm not sure Freezer was ever released for region 1.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It was, as far as I could make out through my shock and horror, about a guy who is cheating with some chick, but then it turns out her husband is cheating on her--with a guy, then he (R. Kelley) calls home and a guy answers HIS phone, so he drives home in a rage. His girl is in the shower and tells her the guy who answered the phone was her brother. He is all happy and they start having sex, but just as she's about to have a climax (which is how is is put in the song "She said, "I am about to climax.'"), he gets a cramp in his leg and stops and gets out of bed and finds a rubber and is horrified.
I am not making this up.

I've never heard of it. Maybe I will have to see if it was released for Region 1 and add it to Netflix if so.

I don't think I know that song. I don't think I'm sad that I don't know that song.

I just checked bbcamericashop.com, and it looks like it's only been released in the UK.
It's a great series, though. Some of the footage for March of the Penguins was actually licensed from it.
