No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I stumbled onto one when I was reading Eureka fanfic (don't judge me!) that was a crossover where Penelope was Jack's sister and she was married to Morgan. Jack was, of course, involved with Nathan.

Darn you all to heck.

Toaster!

I've been delighted that the uneasy-making stuff that's been popping up this season has actually been relevant. It makes one start to trust writers a little more.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Jack was, of course, involved with Nathan.

And somewhere, Ed Quinn is still shouting "Oh my GOD!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've somehow missed the Criminal Minds fan fic ... actually, I've missed a LOT of fan fic. (However, let me take a minute to pimp Fay's Supernatural fan fic with, um, a messiah, I think.)

Yeah, there have been several episodes where I was a little nervous for the show, but it has seemed to do well. I love Bones. It's fun and easy to watch and I really like the characters.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"the history of a TV series, like the history of a nation or an art movement, falls into four periods -- primitive, classic, baroque and decadent."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is a fun article, Tom. It made me relive every stage of my affair with X-Files, from discovery, to love, to bitterness and betrayal.

Oh, you mean Wee John the Messiah? Hilarious! It's about Dean and Castiel (the angel) having a kid and raising it together. They're delightful [link]

Yes, Wee John (he has wings!)

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

Penelope is Derek's god-given solace. Not every chick gets to be that to a stand-up take-down sort of guy.
