In Angel -

Polter-Cow, re the pagers in tonight's Angel : Maybe Ben and Joss were on them, and Ben would be writing, and it would go *beep-beep*, and Joss would say, "Give Illyria more speeches," and Ben would sigh in exasperation and write more speeches, and as he was done, it would go *beep-beep*, and Joss would say, "On second thought, cut down on the speechifying," and Ben would sign in exasperation, and *beep-beep* "Can you maybe change the order of the speeches?" and by the end of the night the entire script was just full of these *beep-beep*s.

Or maybe that's not how it happened at all.

(excessive whitefont added, probably quite unnecessarily, for a minor plot point in tonight's Angel.)

Ginger, in F2F, on shy Prom-goers running out of room to congregate -

The middle: it's the new corner.

Laura in Angel:

As much as I have enjoyed AA the last few eps it certainly would have upped the drama level to have her explode.

Gudanov: I suck in a epic way at dancing, but I suck with enthusiasm.

JohnSweden in Angel, spoilery.

I think the only thing sparing us from an "Illy-cupcake" watching soaps with Lorne scene is the whole running out of episodes thing.

AA doing her lizard-twitch (which I love) and cocking her head saying, "Why do they wail and moan so, has their kingdom been crushed under the relentless heel of dust-strewing history, scattering the bones of their immortality to the four winds, careless and endlessly mocking?"

"No, blueberrycakes, there's been a manicure disaster, and that hot trucker boy is already on his way over to the house, and did I mention shush?"

Definite spoilers for Angel 5.19, (title) * Time Bomb *

hayden: Why would they be able to do that? Why would Angel be swept up in her wake?

Jon B: Duh! The deflector dish created a localized tachyon field that caused a temporal fluxamacallit.

billytea's nominee for best typo, ever: For me, the One True Typo is that one from a law firm, where a senior partner assures the client that he will be handling their case, and firm associates will be assfisting him as necessary and at the company standard rates.

In LOTR, about new scenes in the ROTK Extended Edition:

Miracleman:

I wanna see the "Scooby-Doo ending"!

"Let's find out who Sauron REALLY is!"

*gasp* "It's Radagast the Brown!"

"And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling hobbits!"

MechaKrelboyne:

And then in ten years they can CGI in a younger, slimmer Radagast The Brown. And there can be the scene where Radagast shoots first.

Raquel:

And they'll digitally replace all the swords with walkie-talkies.

MechaKrelboyne:

Naw, they have to do that with all the weapons. Which I think would be cool. Dude, did you see Lurtz just shoot five walkie talkies through Boromir's chest? Hardcore. And when they brought up the siege weaponry and shot those giant walkie talkies with ther ropes on over the walls?

Aimee:

(Ya know, if they were being all that "responsible" for kids and shit in the rerelease of ET, they would have replaced the Reeses Pieces with banana chips.)

Emily, in F2F, on Unconditional Buffista Love:

You can wear jeans and a t-shirt with a big floppy teddy bear picked out in pink that says "I wuv you and so does George W., bless his non-serial-comma-using heart!" and your worth and excitingness will not change one iota, goddammit!

As ever, the Buffistas are a ready and willing font of information:

NovaChild:

I'm still not working on my homework. This is a bad thing.

Anybody know anything about Crow's polygon rasterizing algorithm?

(sigh)

Cass :

<Googles>

<breaks brain>

No, but now I am fascinated. NovaChild, I blame you if I go and learn something tonight instead of watching tv.

tommyrot :

It's, um... good. It rasterizes the fuck out of those polygons.

ita :

Is that the algorithm that came back from the dead to rasterise the algorithms that had vectorised its heuristics
