Lotsa spicy brains on show in here today. Me like.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So what TV show would be cricket, then?
(I still haven't managed to make it into The Wire. I get that it's good--I'm just not in love yet)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, that was a great show.

What are the distinguishing traits of cricket as opposed to other sports?
Don't they have tests that go on for days? So I'm thinking long form. It's a highly skilled sport but has odd rules, so a bit eccentric. Also an odd combination of Old British Empire culture being ruled by its ex-colonies.
I'm imagining a combination of The It Crowd and MI-5.

That kind of crossed my mind. Has he ever had a companion from southeast Asia?

They have matches that go on for days. Tests are series of matches. That's how hard core they roll. And they break for tea.
