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.

and being a city without a soul
I find Washington DC is often like this. Anyway, there's a certain freakish rootlessness, when the cultural winds shift at every election. We used to joke that 9pm was the best time to get a dinner reservation, because all the civil servants would be on their way to bed by then.
(Which is not to say there weren't film festivals, opera, free museums, and stuff like that; but compared to Baltimore, DC was an airport concourse.)

But with better museums.
Poking head to wish health and all good things to Jim and Penny, and congrats to Moonlit!
Australian officials are waxing euphoric over the apparently limitless budget Warner Bros. has given Superman Returns, which began production in the state of New South Wales last month. The state's treasurer, Dr. Andrew Refshauge, told the Australian Associated Press, "It's going to be one of the biggest film projects ever made in Australia -- bigger than the Matrix trilogy." He said that it will generate A$100 million (US$77 million) for the state's economy and create more than 10,000 jobs.
Yeah, let's go with that. Canberra wound up where it was because neither Sydney nor Melbourne was willing to let the other be the nation's capital, so there may have been cursing involved.
This is true about Washington, DC. Maybe we've established how you create a city with no soul. See also: Brasilia.
Hmph. DC has plenty of soul, these days. Though no voting rights. t /defensive resident

Yep, there's more than one parallel. I suspect that's at least partly deliberate, such as the model of defining a separate territory for it (though the ACT gets Parliamentary representation).

Um, I think it's called go-go.

Serenity release date and folk on the rim.
The official Serenity site (account required to view threads) is having a Q&A with Joss, and asking for questions from the fans. I asked if there's anything those not in the USA/Canada can do to convince Universal to do limited releases on 30 September 2005 for the hard-core Firefly fans in other countries.
There's a thread for people to show support.
