What is even happening?

Does knowing it's completely par for the course make it more or less offensive?

For me, neither. It's offensive. The only thing that made me give it a half second pause, was wondering if whoever wrote the title was stuck in gronk while trying to make a Tru Calling/Jewelry pun, and didn't realize, but I decided I can't buy that.

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

I don't remember if this has been posted before - a slideshow of frightened, screaming and/or crying children sitting on Santa's lap: [link]

Nothing says Christmas like innocent children shrieking with terror at a hulking red stranger dragging them onto his lap.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Donna and Leo were not there. (although it is possible they mentioned him in the dialogue, I don't have total recall).

No, they wouldn't say anything specific about Leo, because he's the VP candidate. The big mystery is who won the election, so if they'd said anything about Leo, they would have given it away. Leo's future is safely still a mystery. (And luckily, both Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits are tall mofos, because they had some indeterminate feet representing the president, and the president has clearly got Sasquatch-feet.)

Not looking forward to an episode where they kill off Leo, and then spend a whole hour agonizing about how they'd always known his health was an issue, and OMG we look like turds, there go our poll numbers. Poll numbers, shmoll numbers. Leo is too important to waste him in a drama about electability.

Maybe he can just be campaigning in Alaska this whole time?

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

If the flashforward happened this season, it's safest to white out the details. As much as they are, you know, details.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hmm, the Whedonesque page didn't show any comments for me. Probably better that way.(Though I was amused at Puppet Angel showing up next to the url.)

Love the crying over Santa pics! My favorite ones were with the twins both screaming and mirror-reaching for someone to get them off of the strange man's lap and the one with the smiling girl posing with the clearly-hungover Santa.

The best thing about Pandora, Gud, is that my company hasn't blocked them yet! I get internet radio! So far, it's Quincy Jones, S.O.S. Band, and the Isley Brothers, which I can totally get behind. And into.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today was going so well and THEN we had a call at 3 with a new client that pushed every freak out button that I have from our CLIENT FROM HELL. My whole body language in this meeting changed.

I have been reassured that we will not relive the client from hell, but I already got scared and it is hard for me to get unscared. I forsee this being a big rush rush rush and that gets old real fast and always causes problems.
