I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

They're running the risk of offending Democratic voters. They really ought to spin things the Australians' way.

There was also that thing where we took part in the Vietnam War

I'm still lobbying for this to be called "The American War"...

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

Maybe I called in a few favours, sold a few firstborn.

And it was worth it.

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

ita, I thank you for selling your firstborn. Or whoever the fuck's firstborn you sold.

The world thanks you. You took one for the team.

Anyone just hear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue? 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' to the tune of 'John Brown's Body' was a classic!

I didn't hear it, but I used to love that show, and now it occurs to me I could actually listen to it over the internet, couldn't I? Does Radio Four stream everything? Could I listen to The Archers if I wanted?

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

OK now I know fear. I have read this weeks TV Week on Smidge's bainwave (may count as season 8 spoiler, definitely counts as shark warning)

The real fear is the Marti may think it *a good thing*

Um, the show doesn't need to be saved, and I've never gotten any reason to think any actor gets a say in anything other than quitting.

But I don't know what the meat of the article is.
