I hugely enjoyed both those primers Katie.
Vomit, indeed.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Best place to start the show is, well, first season, though it's a bit hit or miss until a bit after halfway through the season.
Hum. Start with the first of four, you say? You're probably right. (I won't be in Boxed Set for a while, because I'm trying to go unspoiled for Stargate while I use SkyOne's repeats to catch up. And I've saved my pennies for West Wing DVDs, to catch up with that. It... may be a while before I get to do Farscape the way it should be done. Unless SkyOne or SciFi is unexpectedly kind to me.)
'Suela's primer makes it sound good, though (despite the bodily fluids thing) and with good web resources I might manage to make half-sense of it. Hum. *considers*

I've just finished Season 3 of Farscape, and I agree, it's so arc-y that you really do need to watch from the beginning--it gets better and better as it goes, really (at least so far), but I was hooked from the start.

You've been warned about season 4, right Angus?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'd just like to say that Carnivale keeps on getting better and better. Parts of the second night (hard to say what episode it was, since the ABC seem to be showing two a night) were a bit eh but then it got better as that night wore on and now I am absolutely loving every second of it. Can't wait for the second season to get made and for the 1st season DVDs to get a release over here. oh and I'm in love with moonlit

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Can't wait for the second season to get made
The second season has already begun airing over here, so it's available for illicit consumption if you're into that sort of thing.

If I only had a brain...
Hee! The London News cuts Prince Harry into quivering shreds. (What is the London News? A tabloid? A political sheet?)
Prince Harry is sensationally stupid. Seriously, the lad is practically retarded, so it’s appropriate to cut him some slack. It’s a small miracle every time he finds his mouth with his cigarette, so the fact that he would put on a Nazi armband and not think – at any point – that this might possibly be a really really wrong thing to do, is perfectly understandable.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
No, it (it being the London News Review, btw) is a magazine which grew out of the (awesome) Friday Thing, which was a weekly email sent by a bunch of journos in London. It was the '00s version of Private Eye back when the Eye was acerbic, funny, antiestablishment and essential (ie 1965). I've yet to meet anyone who actually buys the LNR, but they're good people.

I'd just like to say that Carnivale keeps on getting better and better.
We just watched eps 4 and 5 last night. Dark stuff. And damn, it all looks so good. Who knew dust storms could look that good?
