Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Someone remind me that engaging in arguments on faith and abortion or worse - both - on the intenets is a bad, bad, bad idea and leads to the pulling of hair and rending of clothes in the name of a losing battle.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Don't do it, Aims! Think of your clothes and/or hair!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Somewhere, a computer is making Windows noises. Like the kind of noises you get with downloads and errors and stuff. I can't tell if it's mine. This is worrying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

DON'T DO IT, AIMEE!!!

It's totally that Tebow guy's fault. And CBS'. And this chick who called a friend of mine a band-wagon jumping liberal bigot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey Dana, did you know that McG is doing a reboot of La Femme Nikita?

Yeah, that hit Livejournal this morning. The general response is "Really? You think that's a good idea?"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

LFN is sort of like Die Hard. It was a perfect new pop culture template and you could redo it multiple times. BtVS is sort of like that too - everything from Charmed to Danny Phantom (cartoon) modeled themselves closely on it.

But LFN had some great knockoffs in HK (the Black Cat movies) and Japan too.

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

I think the question is if they're remaking the TV series or if they're making another series off the movie. Either way, they initially seem a little dark for the CW, but they have been wringing a fair amount of angst out of the Winchester brothers. Interspersed with a lot of buffoonery and some good comedy, though, which doesn't have a place in either Nikita universe.
