Does anyone UK-ish know if OMWF is on Sky tomorrow night? There were clips of it in an ad I just saw, but Sky are liable to do the wrong-diddly-misinformation dance.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I believe that they're having a Buffy fest on Thursday evening, from the ads I've seen so far. But on Sky.com there's no indication that this is so. Huh.

Sky can be so bloody difficult at times. I wanted to make a friend of mine watch OMWF because she refuses to watch Buffy as, according to her it's "shit". I thought that might be a good ep to ease her in. She's a fan of musicals, plus it's oh so good.

The Radio Times- normally right- says there's Buffy at 8:00 and 9:50 tonight (Thursday 2nd Jan). From the descriptions I think it's Bargaining (both parts) and OMWF. They're showing 'Buffy Meets Blackwood' after that. If I remember it right from last time around, that probably isn't worth bothering with.

Buffy Meets Blackwood?

Blackwood - he thinks he's Will Smith. He's wrong.

Another Brit matter: just saw Tabula Rasa on the BBC. Am I right in thinking there were some major cuts, including of whatever it was Spike said in the Magic Box to make Giles so exasperated?

And will the version of OMWF on Sky1 tonight be better than the BBC?

I worry about these things, you know. I really do.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

OK I'm getting a bad feeling

Channel Nein Australia appeard to have picked a regular time for Farscape.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Umm, he called Giles an Englishman.

GILES: Yes, we'll get back our memories and everything will be right as rain.

SPIKE: (disgusted) Oh listen to Mary Poppins! Got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so -- (hearing himself) Bloody hell. (testing) Sodding blimy shagging knickers bullocks -- oh no. (horrified) I'm English.

GILES: Welcome to the nancy tribe.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

It's bad enough when cuts are made to the broadcast version of episodes but it's disgusting when those cuts subsequently appear on a video or DVD version.

I was watching "Innocence" again the other day when I finally noticed the glaring anomaly in the end credit cast list. In it they have "Teacher - James Lurie" (later credited as 'Mr Miller'), who appeared in at least 3 episodes (including this one). However, he does not appear in this episode. Obviously he and his scene, were in the episode but the version we have cuts it out entirely. Moreover, the only reason it was cut was to allow the broadcaster responsible more ad time. That really makes my blood boil.
