From the pranksters at TeeVee.org, comes this article (buried in the brilliant parody of Salon is a link to faux newpaper The Television City Chronicle):

Protesters Assail Air Force Personnel Decision

Key paragraph:

In addition to being the home to the U.S. Space Command and NORAD, the base is the headquarters for a government team so secret that even its name is not public knowledge. But that secrecy hasn't prevented this loud, spirited group of housewives and thirtysomething single women from coming to the defense of Dr. Daniel Jackson, a reknowned civilian archaeologist who had lived in Colorado Springs for five years.

You know, they really can't pretend they don't get the slash-vibe now, can they?

Aren't half the current writers out? I know at least Drew Greenberg is...

Catching up -- Lana Lang is a redhead traditionally in the comics, not just in the v. bad Superman III.

Also, are y'all aware that Due South S1 episodes have been showing up on el nova del supr? I've got 4 through 10 now. Fraser's dad just came to town.

I watched the Huntress a lot. I really enjoyed it. AO'T trying to be tough and "mom" everybody made me smile.

Yeah, at least Namor had the advantage of being (a) super strong (b) nigh-invulnerable (c) capable of flight (d) a real arrogant prick.

Fanboy moment: Aquaman is super-strong too. And, as Thomash pointed out, a prick.

He cannot, however, fly.

I strenuously object to any aspersions cast on Aquaman in the event of an urban brawl. He can be very effective. He can...

...uh, he can...

...call the gators out of the sewer! Yeah! And, uh, he can, uh...

YOU LEAVE THE JUSTICE LEAGUE ALONE!

at least he's not plastic man

C'mon! Aquaman is strong but he's not in a class with Namor who is supposed to be just a shade below the Hulk and Thor, and could go toe-to-toe with the Thing.

Also, he's also only recently gotten to be an arrogrant prick. For the vast lifespan of his character he was a generic DC do-gooder.

Hmmm, it's kind of interesting how super strength is not that common in the DC-verse, compared to the Marvel-verse. Like, Superman sucked up Strength, and each DC character had to have a distinguishing power (Fast! Ultimate Weapon (green lantern)!). Whereas most Marvel characters have enhanced strength as a matter of course. I blame Kirby.

each DC character had to have a distinguishing power

(Looks at mental notes, and realizes that The Sexy is probably not what they're all thinking about for Dick's.)

(Remembers belatedly the flexibility and acrobatic skill.)

(Decides these are all part and parcel of sexy-comma-the.)

You know, being Batfamily fixated really warps a gal's DC perspective.

at least he's not plastic man

No kidding.

Okay, when did Tyr become chief stud in the Nietzschean Empire?
