Okay, Newsweek has totally geeked out.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
flea, is there even an answer to that?
I never saw Dead like me -- keep meaning to watch it.
There are shows I like, and shows I didn't. There are a bunch that people have loved here - that I think I should love , but I don't. Wonderfalls and Pushing Dasies - n I could never sell them . Even though I know why I loved pushing Daisies was the language. And I kinda liked Jayne, even though I am not a slacker. I think it was the skeptic seeing something more
My parents joined a church when I was about 15. I went for awhile. And by the time my parents left -- there were a number of people that did things like pray about decorating decisions. My parents new church was a good place. And it was easy to see that it was a good place, even if I had no belief. That is my long winded way of saying I hope you find a church that you can love.

I liked the first season of Dead Like Me but I stone adored the second season where we got a lot more of the not-George cast. Loved Wonderfalls, but loved Pushing Daisies even completely more.
Currently I'm starting on the second season of Breaking Bad which is just blowing me away. I'm a lot more educated about addiction issues now, and I can see how they're working that into the series.

And what about Arrested Development?

OMFG, AD is my sister's SPN. We are at loggerheads. She might win, because everyone says that starting with the Charlize episodes is the worst ever, and her SPN issues are more insurmountable. But we face off regularly on the "well, I won't watch your show because you won't watch mine" front. And still send each other crap about them.

Well, that is true. But mostly I was asking Beth about AD because I loaned her the DVDs.

I tried the Newsweek thing and nothing happened. Is it Firefox? Or the fact that I'm on a Mac?

I tried it in IE7 on a PC and it worked for me. Dunno.
This would be a cruel cliffhanger for Annie, if anyone cared.

AHA! I had to turn off the "start to search when typing" function. Now I see it. Hee.

Our wings are not tired.
AD is my all time favorite comedy, but the Charlize eps are the weakest point of the series. It's also not a "background" show where you can have it on, glance occasionally, and get pulled in by the occasional zingers. You need to pay attention to it since it's so heavy on the callbacks and development. But, it's probably not for everyone.
Has anyone heard of a British show from the early 1990s called "Waiting for God"? Charlie gave me the series for my birthday and I've never hoid of it.
