I loved that rant.
Holli:
There was a sequel to the Vatican? Like, Vatican II: Catholic Boogaloo or something?
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

The final CD in the set of seven that I ordered arrived yesterday, being Robert Palmer's Greatest Hits (Vol 1). I expect to spend today grooving to some mellow stylings. Then I might put on some music.

P.M.M. in the Firefly thread:
Yerp. Mal got to say much with little, and make me wish he'd had more screen time. Inara got to have sex, off screen, and then platitude softly in the afterglow, and make me think of napping. Actually, if she could do a full-on impression of dead, carefully scripted by Tim for maximum Never Come Backitude, I'd be happy.

If I only had a brain...
Madrigal, in Firefly (very nonspoilery):
Well, originally I was going to say "pussy power" instead of "power of the snatch" but then the first phrase made it seem like I was implying she was really an android powered by internal cats and then in some cliffhanger episode her head would fall off and tons of tiny tabbies would spurt from her neck and attack the crew, and then I was when ep aired everyone would bitch about me being a spoiler and I'd lose all my cred.

It's a remora, dimwit.
(Oh, and um, that last phrase, just cut off some words to make it make sense. Y'see, um, English is not spoken in my head, so these things happen sometimes.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Holli: Yup. Being all immutable and all, the laws of physics are unlikely to change when your back is turned. Unlike the laws of grammar, which are a bunch of slippery little bastards.
Victor: I don't trust the laws of grammar. They're shifty and I wouldn't want to live near 'em.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Askye in PPO:
I don't know where it started but I wish it would DIE! I hate Spuffy. Hate it. Not just because I don't like romantic Spike/Buffy but it just sounds like a demented cat.

Madrigal, in Firefly, nonspoilery:
I like the theme song, but it's rewritten itself in my head to the tune of the "Facts of Life" theme song, sort of, "They took your land, they take your sea, they take 'em both, and now you got, Serenity, Serenity."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
FayJay in Angel (and although I've white fonted it, it's pretty non-spoilery because she hasn't seen any episodes from this season):
Oooh, he's always been of the kink, our boy Wes. It's that whole public school education - dressing up younger lads as girls, spankings, canings, all that good healthy stuff that made The Empire great.
