'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

About the new two most recent Star Wars films:

Jess PMoon:.

Weren't all the characters named by a 3 year-old?

hayden:

I had assumed so. And that a 3-yr-old came up with the plots and characterizations. I figured that the actors were directed by Deep Blue, though, hot off of his win over Kasparov.

Sean K:

What on Earth do you find childlike about the name Count Dooku? Jar-Jar? Watto? Shmi? Sebulba? Naboo? Mace Windu?

Honestly, Jess...

Jess PMoon:

Mostly the choice and arrangement of the letters, Sean. Why?

kat perez, discussing favorite/unfavorite seasons:

See, the only thing I might have liked to have seen from S4 Angel was BRSD, cause evil and platform shoes truly are a match made in heaven.

Consider my kinsey not so much skewed as flat on its back with its knees akimbo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Nou in Satre:

I used to enjoy political metaphors, but they've been ruined for me by all the badfic.

"Wielding his enormous poll [sic], he quickly began to stuff her ballot box..."

Y'know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

ita, damnation! Got here first.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Some apropos oldies but goodies from the Buffy 3 thread at TT:

Tom W:

Remember, spoilers don't spoil people, people spoil people. Or something.

And then there was this:

"There is no emoticon to express how I feel"

I think part of the trouble is that we cover a wide variety of things with the single term 'spoiler'. From short episode summaries, through particular plot points to line for line transcripts.
For example (entirely fictional):

(i) (TV Guide Summary). "Buffy and the gang fight a Jello(tm) monster."
(ii) (more detail) "Willow's dessert-enhancing spell goes awry and Sunnydale is menaced by a terrifying Jello(tm) monster."
(iii) (particular plot point) "In tonight's episode Giles is slowly digested by a gelatinous cube. The special effects are particularly good and gross."
(iv) (vague pointers) "Significant cast changes are afoot after tonight's encounter with a malevolent instant pudding."
(v) (line for line) "Xander: And we're reconsidering Jello's status as a 'fun' dessert. Buffy: Kiss me, you fool."

We need a standardized ratings system for spoilers, and little icons to go next to them. And a puppy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
