More on Hulu's $9.95/month charge. They also expect to up the commercials to the same amount as broadcast TV. I would hope they don't mean that for paying customers. I just don't see the attraction.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Virgin America would have to be pretty fucking amazing to outweigh a nonstop at a reasonable hour.
Honestly, they are that fucking amazing. I eternally regret making the same decision in favor of United for my business trip to Dulles.
I don't think they have free Wifi anymore (that was a holiday thing), but the plug at your seat and on-screen/delivered-to-your-seat-whenever ordering is reason enough for me to choose them.

For me, the non stop thing is pretty big, since I always do carry on luggage. I don't mind the early thing, because I'd rather get to my destination and have time to chill and recon meetings or whatever. It's hard to choose between Virgin and Jet Blue, because both are awesome. But Jet Blue has cashews! and Blue potato chips! and TV!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So it turns out I don't have any FB friends who like to post "funny" death wishes. This fills me with gratitude.
Also? Eating a peanut butter cookie pretty much undoes all the health benefits of eating a beet salad for lunch but boy is it YUM.

You know what I am confused about with Hulu is whether you will need a subscription to watch shows which are long off the air- Like, I have watched Party of Five and Alias Smith and Jones, and the original Battlestar Galactica.

But Virgin has TV and absinthe.

Sounds like someone may need to remind Virgin that just because you don't remember it the next morning doesn't mean it didn't happen...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
