It is easy to forget what a great show it was with those terrible later seasons. We did a complete rewatch of the series not too long ago. About the only redeeming quality of the later seasons was admiring Scully. Holy grail of TV women right there.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Comcast couldn't find it when I searched, weirdly enough. It only picked up the re-airing of the original miniseries. I had to go directly to the listings to set the recording.

I remember the original V as being at best cheese-tastic, mainly due to the eyecandy factor. Stupid writing, stupid characters, et cetera.
(But I would have said the same thing about Battlestar Galactica, so I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It comes on at the same time as so much else! But it's really beyond time for me to give up on 90210. It's so crap, but I keep FFing through and looking anyway.
Consuela linked to a hug picspam on LJ from SG1 that inspired the most nostalgia in me. Man, I need to rewatch. I miss me some vintage Jack. Love him. It occurs to me that that's what Tony on NCIS could stand to be a bit more like, if they want kidding around and competent, even though they wrote him inconsistently for a laugh too, in the end.

I miss me some vintage Jack.
Me, too. I miss Jack in all his competent cranky awesomeness. I didn't like the tomfoolery they went for in the later seasons: to me, Jack's always been highly competent, and funny with an edge of bitter underneath.

it's that I don't understand how it got burnt during the blackout. I'd have thought it'd be one place nothing would crash into, since nothing would be flying over it. Errant Marine One?
As others said, National Airport is super close to downtown DC, so I'm guessing although the White House and Capitol and all that are in the No Fly Zone, if you had planes approaching for landing, and then everyone blacked out, it's entirely possible that they'd end up crashing into downtown DC.

Entirely possible, what with velocity and all.
It's amazing how quiet it is living less than 10 minutes from the airport in this age of no-fly. No more fumes or roaring.
