Or "Mansquito" to the tune of "Maneater".
(I suspect it would be wicked easy to filk, but I fear the earworm) ...come on baby. Don't fear the earworm.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Or "Mansquito" to the tune of "Maneater".
you don't even have to change the lyrics much:
You only come out at night
lean and hungry type
Nothing to do
You've seen it all before

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
OMG, I am not sure I can resist a movie called "Ogre."

Found at the IMDB:
Hewlett-Packard has signed a deal with Sony Pictures to turn out DVDs from the studio's library whenever customers request them, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Thursday). The deal will allow consumers to order movies that ordinarily would not be stocked by dealers because they are too obscure or too old. HP indicated that it expects to sign similar deals with other studios. "We're hoping this provides another option to make available products that wouldn't necessarily garner widespread retail shelf space," Jason Spivak, head of strategic development at Sony Home Entertainment, told the Times.Added Doug Warner, head of HP's digital content business, "If studios can sell more catalog than previously, they can generate more money."
Hope for Farscape fans - for decent season 1 dvds - if this applies to tv as well as movies.

the show's return in April
Wait. What? I had to skip the latest Sarah Connor Chronicles talk, because I'm behind. Did I miss this news? April now? I'm going to a very whiny place right now. WTF, Sci-fi???

I must add to the Ianto love! Between the re-enactment of heads exploding to the subtle offering of an arm to Gwen to the oh so awesome telephone rant and telling Jack that he was "very fearsome" and a billion other adorable things this ep, he is so so very awesome this season so far. As was the whole ep. And then I cried at the end. Made me think of the Doctor as his turn as John Smith and the life and love he had to sacrifice to return to who he originally was. Not who he truly was, but originally. So fucking sad. And this Torchwood ep just reaffirmed how true and valid John Smith's life was, which was probably why the extra tears.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow. There are some wildly divergent opinions about Torchwood 2.02 elsewhere. Will need to rewatch as I evidently missed much of Ianto's snark with the irritating compression issues.
Suffice it to say, it pinged some of my buttons, but I need to suss out some of the excellent discussion elucidating some potential transatlantic mistranslation.

I did like Ianto's tie, though. That's not a spoiler, right? That Ianto had a cunning tie?
