Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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

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.

(However, let me take a minute to pimp Fay's Supernatural fan fic with, um, a messiah, I think.)
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]

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.

NCIS: LA recasts female lead. I feel bad for Louise Lombard.

I feel bad for Louise Lombard
Sorry for the actress losing a job, but I'm not surprised. I don't know if it was acting, directing, or writing, but the female lead made me antsy, she struck me as too desperate to be perceived as competent, with a bad case of "I must always remind them that I can do this even if I am a woman." I know that angle is considered an easy source of drama for writers, but I long for a female commander who doesn't feel compelled to apologzie/explain/account for her vagina and breasts.
I didn't like Jenny at first, it seemed a cheap plot twist to bring in Gibbs' old lover, but the conflict quickly when from "can A woman do this job" to "can THIS woman do this job".
I fondly remember Gina Torres being a police captain in a hostage negotiation unit--Standoff, was it?--and I never got the idea that her competence vis a vis her gender was ever a topic.

yeah, one of the few things that show ever got right.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I might have been interested in watching for Reiko Aylesworth.
Recent Lostie Reiko Aylesworth can forget about being part of The Forgotten, as the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced ABC drama is recasting not just her amateur detective but also the lead character played by British actor Rupert Penry-Jones.

Art Crawl!!!
No Rupert Penry-Jones?
There goes my incentive for watching that show.
