No shit. I think I won't tell Beau this because narratively it feels like they are fixing a problem. Well they certainly have a better actor.

John Noble tweeted that they've started shooting the final episode of Fringe, and... "We still don't know how the series ends. Joel is keeping us in suspense til the very end. Nerve wracking."

FWIW, I really do enjoy Dark Matters on the Science Channel -- not just because John Noble as the narrator is so clearly enjoying himself, but the recreations of science history are decently put together and correctly talk about ethical investigations. They've covered the Tuskegee syphilis study, and the Stanford prison experiment, for instance.

One more thing about Teen Wolf fandom. Apparently there's some hubbub that this [link] was pretending to be the real MTV twitter, but...did anyone read the tweets? I must have gone back a month, and it consistently reads like a bouncing teen fangirl. Which I don't mean in a bad way, but why would anyone (especially experienced in fandom) think that's real, or even pretending to be real?

I'm confuse...does MTV really talk like:

OMG! Melissa Ponzio (Scotts mom) has a twitter and I'm just now noticing this?! Everyone follow @MelissaPonzio1!!

@IanBohen you didn't answer any of my questions...and I really wanted a poster :(

Yoinks.

Why do the kill ALL the black people on Vampire Diaries? WTF?

If you're seeing anything racial in TVD, you're going too far.

Or, ya know, I was told by someone on a site less civil than this one. Serves me right.

It was interesting to see my argument turned back on me (Everyone dies in this show!), but I still believe it's a very different life expectancy scenario than Supernatural. TVD has a core cluster of people who are still in the story, but Bonnie's often shipped out to another town, or crying herself to sleep because magic reasons.

Everybody dies except the large chunk of people who will not under any circumstances die (at least not permanently), Many of whom I would love to get rid of, personally.

It seems so obvious to me that all the black characters except Bonnie (and maybe Bonnie's mother's adopted-ish son, I forget what happened to him, he might have just left Mystic Falls like a sane person) get killed off, and quickly. I don't understand how other people don't see it.

I am still hoping that Bonnie's father who hates magic might survive and be interesting, but that is a weak hope and would only be a small gesture at this point, even if it happens.

Farscape the entire series is available on Amazon today for $40.99.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!1!

Oh well, when I paid twice that a couple years ago it seemed like a bargain.

I'm tempted, but one of the customer reviews bothers me enough that I probably won't buy. Partial quote:

1. The bit rate is about 2/3 of the ADV discs. I expected this to be lower since A&E is squeezing about twice the number of episodes onto a disc - ADV put two episodes while this set piles on four per disc. The only way to do this is to compress the programs more. Quality-wise, the image is still remarkably good, and I didn't hear any differences in the audio quality.

2. Unlike the ADV discs, these are not progressive scan encoded - the video is interlaced. Some players don't handle interlaced video properly when they try to convert it to progressive scan output, and jittering can appear in motion. This drops the image quality on players that are outputting a progressive video.

3. For some reason, A&E didn't bother using the original source material, and instead, used their broadcast edits. At the beginning of each episode, they have the "Dolby Surround Where Available" bug in the lower right corner, which is unacceptable to me. This just makes it look like they recorded it off TV.

If you're not a big stickler for quality, then this set is for you - the price is just amazing, and most people won't care about the lower bitrate or encoding method. Videophiles, however, should probably steer clear and stick with the ADV sets, or wait until a new set is released with higher quality.
