Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.

I couldn't believe it when I realized they were done at 3. How could something so good be so limited?
On another note, has anybody else seen Bionic Vet? I'm ridiculously hot for Noel Fitzpatrick. Though I imagine he's a fairly difficult character in his personal life...if he even has one. But, wow, he's a rockstar. That passion is impressive.
Finally made it to London late Friday night. I'll be wandering around doing touristy stuff until Thursday 02 Sept. My plane leaves at 15:20, so I figure I need to be at the airport not much after noon. I'm staying very near King's Cross and St. Pancras stations, about an hour away from Heathrow by Tube.
Internet access here is working much better than what I had in Oslo, so if anyone would like to meet F2F, send an e-mail to my profile address.
I just finished watching the run of Misfits because an Alisha-centric vid made me want to know more. 6 episodes later, I'm very pleased, and a hell of a season ender. I'm happy to see we'll be getting more in a few months, and that the initial run was met with critical acclaim.
They're not strictly likable characters, but I did want to follow all their stories, even the one I truly didn't like.
And great use of music. Episode 4 had the best.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed Misfits. I got into the repeat a couple of months ago, after it won the BAFTA for best drama. Great characters and performances and yes, great music.
Which was the storyline you didn't like, ita?
Yes, there's a Christmas special in the works (although somehow "Misfits" and "Christmas special" don't really go together - it'll be fun to see what they do with it) as well as another series. I just hope it doesn't do a Heroes and go all rubbish.
I liked all the storylines, it was that the characters weren't all likable. Except for the sprinter, I didn't wholly like any of them from start to finish. But they were all interesting.
Is this the worst looking comics store in America?
The answer, unfortunately, is no. I've seen worse. Much worse.
Heh! I think the only worse ones I've seen are those with a THICK layer of dust on all of that but maybe the newspaper pics don't show that.
I was involved with Friends of Lulu when they were just starting up. One of the topics of discussion was how comics stores could be more appealing to women (or why a lot of the existing stores were not). A crowded store like that wouldn't keep me away because I'm a confirmed comics/pop culture geek. But it might keep a lot of women from even investigating comics. A lot of comics stores have gotten hip to that in the last 15 years. But I guess there are some stragglers...
Pffft, I've seen a comic store that didn't even have shelves. Just long boxes and only some of those on tables.
Why is this in Unamerican?
Dude, thick layer of dust, plus housed in a leaky trailer that's up on blocks. That place isn't even close.
