Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Heh, Connie, I remember that. I'm so glad the latest move was more up to his standards.

(There is some discussion of Masters of Science Fiction in Boxed Set.)

Damn, I forgot to set the Tivo for that.

IOTVN, I've been watching L&O marathons, and it occurs to me that Hudson University must be the most dangerous campus in America. I'm beginning to think it's not a real school, but a massive sociological experiment of dysfunction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously -- whatever you do, don't send your kids to Hudson U!

I'm getting the pig!

Yay Swifty! Yay lisah! Definitely enjoy your drinks with dinner tonight.

I've been mainlining season 1 of Big Love on dvd today. Man, the things you miss not having pay channels. Good show.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Is Hudson U the one that's shot at Columbia or the one that's shot at NYU? I remembering noticing that they had a fake-Columbia school and a fake-NYU school, in addition to occasionally mentioning the real ones.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I taped Masters of science fiction, but I haven't watched it yet.

I don't think they shoot Hudson consistently at any one place, but it definitely has more of a Columbia feel to it.

Hudson U probably has a higher death rate than that little Maine town that Jessica Fletcher used to live in.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hudson U probably has a higher death rate than that little Maine town that Jessica Fletcher used to live in.

But probably not higher than Sunnydale.

OK, so I just discovered how my perspective on the world is maybe a little bit skewed. My mother was telling me that she was telling a coworker about Vampire People, because the coworker is a HUGE Firefly fan, with posters and stuff in her office, and my immediate reaction was, "How could she be a Firefly fan and never have heard of Allyson???" Oh, right. Because some people just like things and don't go online to talk about them. Weird.
