I got distracted by something or other. Possibly I was nuking some samosas for late dinner.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hey-- was Nestor using his real voice or the fake-o accent?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, yeah, there are objective standards. But they don't always influence our emotional response to something.
True, that. It's difficult not to let your emotional response shade your objective analysis though. As you can see the flaws in the season 4 of FS and still love the show, I can see Stargate for what it is with all its flaws and limitation and love the show, and acknowledge the criticism of the show as valid. But with Buffy? I found it *really* difficult not to get defensive when people started trashing the latter seasons.
I watched about 35 minutes of Century City. It was laughably bad. Even Martouf in boyband wig couldn't save it. (I hear he died? Poor sod.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Martouf was pretty, though.
Real accent, Shawn. Still hot.

Did I mention Nestor was a FoaF who was at Harvard at the same time? Hot and smart, eh?

News to warm Matt's heart.
Thanks Shawn. They'll still each need to go through a period of suffering to win me back (maybe they could each date Angelina Jolie, or somesuch?), but at least there's a chance I could get back into their show now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Martouf was on Century City? I almost regret not taping it now.

Martouf was on Century City?
Aw, crap. I had no idea. Love him. Fannishly, even. I must be skimming too fast (I skim past Farscape stuff to avoid as much spoilage as possible ... it's in my Netflix cue).

You know, Century City really wasn't worth watching, for all the Ioans and Martoufs and Nestors in the world. The writing was so dull-witted and characters so clichéd, I got a shoulder cramp from all the cringing by the half-hour point. I felt awful for the cast, most of whom have done work that I've really enjoyed in the past.

But you know it ends, right? I got as far as finding out the the boy was Paymer's clone, and then Scrubs happened. Were there other plots? How did that resolve?
