I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

Our wings are not tired.

Every day we are grateful for all that Gudanov does for us, but today we can also celebrate his birthday. Happy birthday, Gud! I hope everyone is good to you today and spoils you in the manner you deserve. May this be a wonderful year for you.

Happy Birthday, Gud! I wouldn't be able to type that here but for you. Thank you!

Hello, all. It was an experience to meet many of you in SF ;) Thank you for including me at a very emotional time.

As the aforementioned "J", I do want to clarify that I don't hate Spike. Heck, by the end of season 2, he was a stand-up guy.

Happy birthday, Gud! I'm very grateful you're here.

Hey Jake! Really enjoyed meeting you and erin at the Memorial. You looked very dapper and turned out.

Glad to hear you're warming up to Spike. Though you're absolutely allowed to dislike any character at all - that's what leads to the discussions.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Speaking of Tilly...

Are we discussing Discovery anywhere? I have feelings.

Hi, Jake! Welcome. I was, sadly, not in SF, but I did see pictures, and I concur with David. On all points, actually.

Always fun to hear about someone watching Buffy for the first time! It's been a minute.

OK, folks, I am all routine-mammoed up, and I dropped Birdie off at the vet for some testing, AND I got some blood drawn. It's been a whirlwind of medical offices this morning. Now to eat some food and do some work.

Where do we talk about Trek? Boxed Set?


JenP - May 28, 2024 8:49:20 am PDT #778 of 3468

That'd be my guess.

Hi Jake! It was a delight to meet you in SF. And yes, we have all had a variety of feels concerning Spike. Even naming a thread here Spike's Bitches. (it has a history too)

Medical~ma, JenP. Good girl doing all the healthcare things.

It has been Double Monday for work today, so despite my retired status I have been solving issues all day. Sigh.
