On John Doe in Natter:

They are making the mistake of watching John Slow.

I think it should be called John D'oh!
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.

I hate John Doe. They are playing "Behind Blue Eyes," to drive home that no one knows what it's like to be the bad man, the sad man, the man that spews trivia all fucking day and doesn't know who he is and no one cares who he is because obviously no one is looking for my sorry no longer naked ass, behind blue eyes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX:
if you took a five kilogram anti-raccoon and tossed it into a reactor with a regular five kilo raccoon, the resulting annihilation of the two raccoons would provide about 20 trillion Kcal of energy, which is the equivalent to the caloric content of 100 billion twinkies, or of a single 6.5 billion pound twinkie.
That's one big twinkie.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Is that all something DX said? Or is there a difference between the quoted and non-quoted text?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX said the stuff about the raccoons and the kilocals of energy. I was a wiseass and added the thing from Ghostbusters.
Because twinkies are cool. Or Ghostbusters is.

Re Firefly's "hundreds of planets in the solar system" thing:
I think the conflicting stories on the astrophysics boil down to something like: "We don't know anything about astronomy. There are some planets. They are distributed in whatever way you would like to imagine that makes sense. Please watch our show."
....Aaargh! Who said this? Who said it? Damn. Sorry. Somebody smart.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Fay, it was TomW. Who is very smart and funny.

Um, not that I actively care, and not that the above is spoilery as such, but can people please get into the habit of white-fonting Firefly-related posts in here? Cheers.
