Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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

Ayup. Speaking role too. This show does have the best music. It must have cost them a mint to reacquire rights for DVDs.

Watching Adama do Santeria. Olmos is amazing. I can only remember him in these two roles, but he carries such an impressive laconic dignity. If you cast him as a poor gardener or something, it would make me sad right away, because it seems so wrong.

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

Do most shows opt for cheaper songs when released on DVD?

ION, Mission Impossible is on.

IStillON,

Imagine if you discovered one day that two of your three children were genetically not yours. Recriminations, marital troubles, perhaps a divorce, right? Now add a twist. What if you were these children’s mother? Suddenly the question becomes not “Who?” but rather “Huh?”

Yet that’s what happened to “Jane”. At the age of 52 when her children were full-grown, she and her children underwent genetic testing for a possible kidney transplant. Completely unexpectedly, two of her three children tested as genetically not hers. A mix-up of babies was ruled out, and she and her husband had not undergone in vitro fertilization, so it was absolute that her children were hers.

Jane, it turns out, is a human Chimera.

...

What happened to Jane is a much rarer. Rather than a simple exchange of blood, she and her fraternal twin merged in utero, leaving only one fetus. The cells in her body are a mosaic of genes from both of the original embryos. The cheek cells from which the genetic testing was done were from one of those embryos, but at least some of the cells in her ovaries came from the other.

Freaky.

Whoa.

Just whoa.

Jane, it turns out, is a human Chimera.
This is just one of the freakier things that genetics can do, IMO.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You know, we've talked about that chimera thing before.

It may have been in Bitches.

Interesting politics in tonight's Mission Impossible. They're foiling some scheme to produce false documentary films of US atrocities and Geneva Convention violations in Vietnam during the war.

I wish I could see Castillo's shoes. Tubb's clothes are dated, but if you ignore the shoes, presentable. Crocket is down and out laughable, and Castillo looks boring but decent--depending on the shoes. This omnipresent light shoe thing is just not attractive.

Not having been here at the time--how out there were the clothes? Did they set trends?

I'm not sure they set clothing trends, except in southern Florida, but they did spearhead the stubble look, ita. Every guy wanted to be Don Johnson and get a Melanie Griffith by looking like him.

In my eighth grade class, boys came to school in khakis and pink blazers with the sleeves rolled up. And this was in Connecticut.
