So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For Betsy:
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
I'm reading The Algebraist. I quite like it.

I know Columbo has been coming out, but I don't think any of the other shows that aired in the Sunday Mystery Movie block have (or, say, The Rockford Files).
Actually, Universal has also released first-season DVD's for "McCloud," "McMillan & Wife," and "Quincy, M.E." "Rockford," too.
What I'd love to have on DVD, though, is the old British sci-fi series "Blake's 7." I've heard it was the "Firefly" of its' day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What I'd love to have on DVD, though, is the old British sci-fi series "Blake's 7."
They've been available in the UK for a while now. [eta: Oops, just the first 3 seasons so far.]

Blake's 7 may still hold the record for HSQ.

This is interesting:
As part of its multi-pronged launch efforts for the new legal drama "Conviction," NBC is the first network to premiere a new series on the iTunes Music Store (www.itunes.com) before it airs on broadcast television.
You can read the rest here.

["Blake's 7" DVD's have] been available in the UK for a while now.
Yeah, but they're Region 2, and my DVD player's Region 1. (I'm sorry, I should've specified that before.) I know, it sux to be North American.
HSQ, Strega? On "Blake's 7"? How so?

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

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I was put onto Blake's 7 by someone, somewhere comparing the nerve Buffy showed with 'Passion' to the nerve Blake's 7 had throughout its series.
Also, Season 4 will be out (in the UK) in March.

BCatSK has one of the best establishing scenes ever.
What does an "establishing scene" mean? I understand the words seperately, but I'm not sure what they mean together.
I have no interest in writing screenplays or teleplays, but I'll probably buy that disk.
Oh, me too. I always love hearing people talk about things they understand and love and are engaged in, if it's their work or otherwise. I mean, even the commentators on the Olympic games make me see things that are more than just "oh, pretty", and "ouch, falling", and I'm way more into stories and the telling of them than sports and strange outfits.
His blurb, like his new show, is a work in progress.
Oh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.
Allyson, all the blurb talks are making the book look so real and so "there in a minute". It's awesome. The "little details" of the coming-true of dreams.
Tim said nice things about my writing in here, once, i think.
I'm honestly not a stalker, really and truly not any sort of any kind of stalker, OK? But, um, if you threadsuck you may find Tim saying:
Allyson is a damned entertaining writer, yeah? And I say that not as the subject of her article. Well, I mean, I do... but, er, you know what I mean. She's just really good at it.
