Whoa. Good myth.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
a mash-up of She Spies, Robert Heinlein, Xena, and America's Next Top Model, the way it is being described to me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I believe Daniel watched it, but I don't know when he will be able to confirm that, as he is currently acting as a mattress (Now! With Snoring Sound Effects) for the Harvey cat.

I couldn't make it through an episode of JoAT. And yet I still watched Cleopatra, so my standards were pretty low.

'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"
