Student ,'Touched'
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.

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.
A quick question for any UK-istas. My roomie is looking at teaching in England, and she is talking to a school in Aylesbury. Her contact tells her it is about an hour train ride from London, and she's trying to find any information she can about the area, if it's rural or suburban, whether there's a good point between there and London for her to find a flat, etc. She's googling and says it's like a black hole. Anyone know anything about it?
ETA: You can probably disregard. I just tried for myself and offhand, it looks like there's plenty. Maybe she was doing something wrong.
I just had to share this for the benefit of the non-Aussie UnAms and the Ams on the board. Is this bloke the best voice-over man in the business, or wot!?
Word of warning: "The Horrible Truth" and "Lewd" are not work friendly links but funny as hell. They are real fake promos written, recorded, and broadcast during the This Sporting Life with Roy and H.G. show on Triple J radio.
For the Aussies, ASH is now appearing on Monarch of the Glen. Now we have Giles and the Doctor. Woo!
Anyone else watching Get Up, Stand Up? Second week in a row it's left me with tears in my eyes that are a mixture of joy, sadness, frustration, and anger.

on a unrelated side-note: that's twice I've just seen references to the new Dr Who, so I think the ABC is getting ready to start screening it shortly.
