Oh, minus FIVE MILLION POINTS, Mr. DX. You are on pun notice.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

re the BSG movie from the Trib blog:
Admission is free, but those who want to see “Razor” at a movie theater must first register at the site battlestarevent.com. The site will not go live until Friday. Repeat: The site will not go live until Friday. Seat registrations will be given away first-come, first-serve.

Newark, though not in the town proper. We're only about an hour apart.
Heh, "Repeat: The site will not go live until Friday." They're expecting a crowd, eh?

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
It's a shame, because I could see flashes of potential in the bit I watched -- the bit where they didn't disguise the extreme height difference between Chenowith and Ned's actor but exaggerated it and had her pointedly leap up on a table to face him was self-aware television, the good way -- but no amount of that could make up for the buzz saw annoyance of that narration. That constant, constant, "We are so cute and self-affectedly fairytalish don't you LOVE US" narration.

Personally, I like twee. I think the narration is what makes the show stand out from others. In a way, I feel like I'm watching a silent movie with someone else reading the script. It complements the overbright colors, like a cartoon strip with thought bubbles.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The Digby part actually made me sniffle. They ran toward each other and... they should have held each other, wahhhh! And Digby knows not to touch his master. I don't know if that's adorable or sad. Both, I think.

This is me.
I love Jim Dale's narration so very, very much. He could say anything and it would make me swoon.
