Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I will need to be up at 4 tomorrow, since my plane for DragonCon leaves at 5:20. I have to make two connections to get there at a reasonable hour.
