Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm watching the emmies and wondering which thread is most appropriate for mentioning that Allyson Hannigan looks fabulous and her rack is ENORMOUS in that dress.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

She does look fabulous. Way better than her costar.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

ND, do you have any ships from Matrix?

Hm. Ships.

Agamemnon. White Star. Black Star. Polaris. Cerebus. Aegean. Clarkstown. Excalibur. Hyperion. Lexington. Prometheus.

I could go on. Babylon 5 has many, many spaceships named.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I am starting to have many jitters about doing independent research this year. I woke up in a panic about it in the night. I need a good forum where people discuss dissertations, research etc, if anyone knows of any, so that I can jitter in the direction of some fellow sufferers. I am going to be bold and put adverts in relevant magazine soon. I am. I am, I am, I... Probably.

ND, your commitment to naming your hard drives is impressive. I name my wheelchairs after appropriate characters from science fiction, but that's not difficult. My powerchair was Marvin (he was an entirely paranoid android) and my current manual chair is Luna. I forget the rest. As for cars, I've had a Delta Flyer and a Defiant (it was not), and my current storage-miracle-on-wheels is a little Tardis.

OK, so I'm about 1/3 of the way through watching the original BSG, and episode 9 had me wondering. Apollo crash lands on a planet that seems perfectly good, but the fleet keeps going on to "Earth", a planet they don't even know exists. If the council was ready to stay put on the mining planet with the Vegas thing where the locals ate the humans, why wouldn't they want to settle down on this other planet? I guess I'm looking for logic in a TV show. Silly me, I should know better.

omnis, it's because the original was pseudo-Mormon pseudo-scripture, and all other waypoints on the way to the Promised Land were temptations from the Dark One.

No, I'm not 100% kidding. (I'm being very meanly snarky, though.)

The point is to follow the scripture of the Lords of Kobol, not just to settle for 2nd best. It's not supported in the *show*, of course.

ah. Right. That's why logic is out the window.

Logic? In Battlestar Galactica? Hahaha...

I love it anyway, though.

Our wings are not tired.

Logic deteriorates as time goes on in BSG, but there was much to love.
