Does anybody mind if I pass out?

All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Ant'N'Dec slash? You sick, sick puppy.

Well, yeah. I'd offer her my Teletubby slash but I don't think it would help.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The I Love the '80s program on VH-1 was coming disturbingly close to slashing He-Man. (The thing was, as they showed more and more clips from the show, it seemed more and more plausible, but I just cannot accept that cartoon characters I watched when I was 3 have sex lives.)

Unamericans- next Thursday (Gods, Goddesses and Sky1 willing) those Brits who have cable, sky or digital will be able to see the first episode of season 7. How do you feel about discussion after the show, either that night or the morning after (says she who has to go to bed early)? Spoiler fonted in here, ordinary text in here, or should it be spoiler fonted and in Previously?

Well, the spoiler rule - here and in Previously - is that the Australians are the marker of what is spoilery or not. So I guess it's really up to them. I'm not bothered yet because I've seen the first few eps, though at this rate you'll have caught up with me fairly soon (especially as my second batch of tapes has so far failed to arrive....). In which case, I'd prefer not to have whitefonted discussion here, but that's just me.

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

Ant'N'Dec slash? You sick, sick puppy.

There's nothing sick about noticing the slashiness of Ant'n'Dec. They're slashier than anything else I can think of. Except the Clex.

But I still haven't read any of it. Go me.

I'm OK with whitefonted discussion here.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I second Angus' "OK". It will be at least another month -- but probably closer to a couple -- before Australia starts getting Buffy season 7. Any discussion of previous seasons is welcomed, though. :)

Speaking of which, the Jossentaries for "Hush" and "Restless" are both fascinating listens. Not as funny as "Innocence" but equally entertaining and informative.

Doug Petrie and Jane Espenson seem to have taken note of the quality/substance of Joss' commentaries and hence their commentaries for "This Year's Girl" and "Superstar" respectively, are well worth a listen.

Nice work taunting the DVD-deprived Americans, jimi!

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

There's a big "what does a soul mean?" debate happening in the Buffy thread right now.

I suspect watching Buffy and Angel on the American schedule, having a region-free DVD and using BitTorrent to grab Farscape eps ahead of time should be a big "Evil now!" marker, shouldn't it?
