It is my understanding that Fritz Leiber did actually originate "The Big Time" as a play.
Googling around it seems that it was produced at the Babcock Theater in Salt Lake City back in 1982.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Oh, blessed Mother. I was out here in 1982.
Meep.
I think I am going to have a little cry now.

Lincoln's Dreams blew me away
Really? Huh. I read a bunch of her other stuff first, and only read Lincoln's Dreams last week for the first time, and was way unimpressed. Can't explain why, just really didn't like it much. It got better later on, but the beginning I very disliked for some reason.
t realizes is not in literary
Uh, that Lex sure is hot, now that he's not all sunburnt and peely. Mmm, Lex. And The OC ROCKS.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I liked Doomsday Book, but then, my first Connie Willis was Lincoln's Dreams, which is also about sucky fate, so not surprised. I was really surprised when I realized she also wrote farce!
I loved that Sam Beckett Goes Home set of episodes. I loved the look the older brother gave him, after he'd saved his life -- as if he knew it was Sam.

runs out to drool over Adam Brody pics

Lincoln's Dreams put into me an altered state, I liked it so much. I was like, hey where can I get more of that good Connie Willis crack.
Oh, good catch, Meara. Um, yummy Lana/Chloe sammich, what's with that bald guy, he's strangely appealing, what does OC stand for anyway? Optional Character [null-state]?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh! What about the end, where you realize that one of the POWs that wasn't saved was Al?
I swear to god, that show hit my crying button a lot.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, man, Dana. Me too.

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
Sighhhhh... t remembers when Scott Bakula was on a non-lame show
