Box Set starts out comparing series, again:

Katie M:

Actually, Farscape managed to hang on to a pretty good arc/standalone balance right up to the end, I think.

Consuela:

Pretty much, more so than Angel, I think. But the characters remember, and the characterization evolves over time (unlike, for instance, Stargate *g*).

Katie M:

Hey! Daniel's hair is much shorter than it used to be.

Consuela:

Thank god, or I'd never know what season it was.

... actually, even that doesn't help that much, just gives me a rough estimate of "early" or "late". ::shrugs::

Clearly the makeup & costuming people need to learn the fun of changing hairstyles to match the character's emotional states, like on Farscape. S2 Crazy!Hair, S4 Glamour Eyebrows, and so forth.

JenP:

Yuh-huh. And Jack's is much grayer. They totally evolve. Sheesh.

Katie M:

And Jack had that really hot period, S3-5!

To be fair, there has been some character development, particularly when it comes to Daniel. (Jack too, but as Jack's character development is at least somewhat tied to a decrease in IQ, I try to ignore it as much as possible.)

Emily:

And Teal'c's face slowly loses that I-smell-something-foul look.

Katie M:

Yes! Which CJ must have been incredibly grateful for.

ita :

Indeed.

Sue, in Natter:

Context? You must be joking.

Is anyone else picturing Gus in a milkmaid outfit right now?

Allyson, about Angel's constant reinvention:

Vampire broods, cracks a weak smile, gets heart ripped out, flips the fuck out, learns the true meaning of christmas, rinse, repeat.

In Natter, I pitch it, and ita knocks it out of the park...

ita: Wow. Just heard that a cousin found out her fiancé was otherwise engaged. Like, engaged to get married next week. Perhaps he intended to be divorced from his 2004 bride in time to marry my cousin next May. No one's sure.

Why do people do things like that?

DX: Short-term memory loss?

ita: He'll be lucky if that's all that's lost.

Yet another "makes perfect sense for Buffistas, less so for the rest of the universe", from Natter:

DXMachina: Bob pre-dates Batman, carrot-wise, anyway.

Natter:

ita:

which now works, thanks to a D-link card -- the Linksys just didn't have enough granularity of settings, so I never managed to make it work with the same brand of hub

msbelle:

you misspelled blah blah blah blah blah.

Kiba Rika in Minearverse:

Give me Rainbow Brite, Captain N, something *magical* for goodness sake. If I want real life, I'll go live.

Ginger: she won't ask questions when she doesn't understand something, because she thinks that makes her look stupid.

Astarte: Stupider than expecting a psychic connection between computer and printer?

Bitch solidarity:

Beverly:

Dear Deena's Doctor,

Please stop being a poopyhead, or we will come to your house, shave your cat, and teach your puppy to open the refrigerator. Thanks.

Sincerely,

The Bitches

beth b:

If i go smack your doctor with a clue stick - you are allowed to tell her the pain is all in her head.

eta the Empress' two cents (Imperial) to it:

Hey! Deena's doctor! YOU ARE AN EFFER!!

I hope yer boobs fall off.

And land on your head.

Jesse: It wouldn't surprise me if Lush stuff smelled like food to an ant -- it's a lot of natural food-type ingredients, right?

DXMachina: Heh.

Head ant: C'mon you guys. I can smell it. It's just over that rise of porcelain there.

Drone: Ummm, apples. I'm soooo hungry.

Head ant: None of that now, we need to bring this back to the colony.

Drone; Aww, just a lick... Ewww. It tastes like soap.
