Yes, and as of this week, I think Sydney/Brisbane and Melbourne/Adelaide are on the same page.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

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.

Caroma, I'd disagree that the nature and actions of the man who represents what is arguably the most powerful country on the Earth, isn't my problem.
Exactly. Imagine, for a second, that the policy of your country was defined and dominated by a superpower across the ocean. Or, indeed, remember what you lot did last time that happened...

Strawberry disappointment.
They've just started advertising Firefly on the UK SciFi channel. I heard the music and it made me sad. But then again, we'll get the three missing episodes.

Sorry about spouting episode numbers at you, Julie, but they're what's on the tapes and I didn't have time to head off to an episode guide.
Re Firefly: our tapes were supposed to be heading off to Australia at some point (John H., to be precise), so perhaps we can work something out. Judging by my recent reliability at posting stuff, though, I'd better not promise anything.

Especially as that country seems increasingly keen to ignore many of the international institutions and treaties which are supposed to apply to all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Buffy, Angel & co are behind the board, not other stuff
Let me opine that just because I meet someone through a shared interest in a TV show or two (or the martial arts, or computers, or whatever) doesn't mean that it's not possible to have an intense and serious conversation about something else.
I don't understand the proposition that because it started with the Jossverse, everything should be taken lightly or flippantly.
A serious conversation is a serious conversation, period.

Yes. This board has def. evolved from being a lighthearted TV-based discussion board, through to being a much stronger and deeper community - it happened during our time at WX.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the inhabitants of the other country get arsey.
Can I mention, this is such a wonderfully Jim-ish thing to say? I completely unedrstand what he means when he says it, and it sums up an entire phase of imperial power, and I can't imagine trying to translate the expression to somebody else without pages and pages of explanation.

Skimming a bit, to say:
Moonlit! Be not afraid of the COMM, for 'tis a wondrous thing!
And Julie! Yay for being "in the pot". Er. I hope when you used that phrase it meant what it seemed like. :) Glad you're around.

Hello! I must be going.
