Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, for fuck's sake, cable TV. What is with the car ads?

Okay, I get that revenue is good. But the minivan ad in this week's Royal Pains was on the level of the Degree anti-perspirant shilling in Eureka a couple years back. He stood there and demoed the shit.

USA Network Prepping 'Burn Notice' Prequel

The prequel is being developed as an original movie, not a series, and will focus on Sam Axe’s (Campbell) military past. I loved Campbell’s reaction to the news as reported by audience members. "What do I have to say about that? I have to say that USA finally got their shit together."

Oooh! I wonder who will play a young Sam Axe? If they can license footage from the Evil Dead movies, I will send a donation.

From what I hear it will be Campbell himself, on his last mission before he retires.

Heh. John Rogers on Hardison's Who preferences:

He's an Eccleston fan and kind of likes Matt Smith because of the Troughton similarities. And Amy Pond, well ... Rose who?

Why is it that the espionage inaccuracies in Covert Affairs bother me so much more than in something like Burn Notice?

Because Michael Weston is just that cool?
