Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Kind of OT, but DebetEsse, you were IB, right? What did you guys have to focus on for 20th century world history? (We did a lot on WW1, a bit on the events leading to WW2, and then a lot on the Cold War and Vietnam. We had The End of the European Era and Where the Domino Fell as our main texts senior year.)

Plei, I was not. I was in AP Euro and US, but that works differently (and my Euro teacher sucked a lot. It was her last year before she retired)

All those aesthetically perfect, alien faces with those impenetrably deep blank stares. Cree. Pee.

It is now.

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

UFO had the best costumes and set designs of any sci-fi show ever. They really gave a lot of thought to how people would look and dress in the future.

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

I can see where they might have been seminal in some anime artistic conventions.

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

They really gave a lot of thought to how people would look and dress in the future.

That's why I'm single. My childhood expectations as to what women of the future would be like were never met....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy shit! Purple haired UFO girl is Nick Drake's sister.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Laughing so hard right now. Did someone say UFO took place in the 1980s? When we evolved purple hair?

Now I am wondering if there's a species with purple hair.

Early 70s. And that character was an alien, I think.

Huh? I'm pretty sure it was set in 1980.

Happy Birthday, Debet Esse!

We won't talk about the amount of 20th century history I know because of Quantum Leap

This reminds me of that "B-Minus Time Traveler" skit on The Ben Stiller Show where Janeane Garofalo was a 20th century student whose poor grasp of history resulted in figures from the past completely screwing up their recorded memorable events after talking to her.

I want to see a new version of that with someone whose only "knowledge" of myths and ancient history is from watching Xena.
