I really, really liked Space: Above and Beyond.

Wasn't Space: Above and Beyond a Chris Carter show, or am I misremembering?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I miss Peter Jennings.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Saying "regular programming" seemed a much more succinct way of phrasing it.
Oh, good point.
It's a strong memory for me, because, there is a big difference between murky, violent TV show with young Canadian himbos and bright, humane TV show with less-young American man occasionally wearing a dress. And being so Nice. Niceness is underappreciated. It was a We've secretly replaced their regular coffee with Folger's crystals type of deal. I was glad to notice.
In conclusion, let's all make out.
Good idea!

Close - it was Morgan and Wong. Their leaving is when the wheels started coming off the X-Files (Millenium didn't last long enough to get to that point, though the last (third?) season certainly showed it was in the offing).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I watched the coverage pretty steadily, and by the end I had acquired such a mental bond with Peter Jennings that I just sobbed when he died. When I felt like I had to get away, I escaped to HGTV and the Food Network, which thankfully had not cobbled together "how to repair your home after a terrorist attack" and "tasty treats for first responders." I just remember having this terrible need to ::do:: something, and having nothing I could do. I also spent a lot of time on the NY Times website, which did an astonishingly good job of updating. I wish I had found the Buffistas by then, because the one online group I was a member of turned into a snarling mess of people saying that the U.S. deserved to be bombed.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Trudy & Kara!!!
And, thank you to all my Buffistas who have enriched my life during good times and held my invisible hand during bad times.
Strangely, I agree with both of these comments:
1. The aftermath of that day was the basis for our becoming a community
2. I think in my mind we became a community after TT went pay and we were all alone (relatively) in the wilds of WX.
I've been part of the board since TT, but I lurked long. I delurked on occassion and then went back to lurking some more. To some degree, because of RL demands, I still do, but it was five years ago that I started posting regularly and started to feel more a part of the community rather than just a watcher.
