I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Gah! Was reading Stargate whitefont and it turned into Spooks whitefont!

I haven't gone seeking Atlantis slash yet, but Brighid's Sheppard/McKay story turned me into happy mush.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

In an attempt at procrastination:

Profile of Paul McGillon, who plays Dr. Beckett (Although I still think of him as the cutie-patootie husband from "Small Potatoes".)

1. The show took America by storm? O-kay. Whatever you say, Bob.

2. Huh. So his Scottish accent is genuine-ish. I remember people railing at his "bad Scottish accent" after the pilot. Guess it's sort of like Glen Quinn and his Irish accent.

3. "It's 12-hour days mostly, and that's brilliant as it lets you do other things." What other things?? Either the dude is on crack or my work ethics have really taken a dive recently. If you sleep 7 hours of the remaining 12 hours of the day, that leaves you with only 5 hours for commuting/eating/TV-watching!

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

Maybe the 12 hour days let him have 3 or 4 day weekends?

Huh. I have discovered that Azureus is deleting the torrents. But since it seems to be making a copy of the torrents before downloading, and deleting that copy, what do I care? I want the file I opened off!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yeah, I was going to mention that. It's just weird. the only solution I found was to either toss the original once Azureus copies it, or to save the original to the Azureus directory so it doesn't have to.

Either way? Too many clicks. Unless I run the file from the download box, I guess.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Atlantis is all set to have a second season announced due to the strength of the first five episodes -- an unheard of happening in U.S. television.

That's rare, but not unheard of, right? I mean it doesn't sound as if they'd yet made it official at the time of reporting, so the same could be said of Desperate Housewives and Lost after their initial ratings for the first 5 episodes. ABC execs would be certifiable not to give either second seasons.

Did we know that Steven DeKnight is working on Smallville this year?

I wonder if that explains the very Nightmares like aspects of this episode.

Also, Chloe looks older and I can't think of why. . . is it her hair? Or the outfit?

And was that Tones on Tail playing under that ad for the WB's showing of The Wizard of Oz? "No More Tales to Tell". . . or am I confusing Tones on Tail for a later Daniel Ash/David J project? (Or do I mean Tones on Tale? I really can't remember.)

Actually I meant Love and Rockets. They were the ones with "No new tale to tell" -- meanwhile, Tone on Tail = "Go" to me. And what is it with the Luthers and their penchant for white suits ?

Okay, Chloe, I think it was the outfit -- different outfit and she no longer looks older than she is.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Did we know that Steven DeKnight is working on Smallville this year?

It's been commented on, particularly since he doesn't seem to be doing his ME-heritage proud. His most-recent episode was the witch-possession one, I believe, which most of us didn't care for.

Don't know about the Luthors and their white suits but Lex's nightmare was very much a callback to the psychic elderly lady's vision from way back in season 1.

All in all, I thought the episode was okay. Though I think there was too much major stuff happening as side-plots without any real explanation. Lionel's release and Jason breaking up with Lana. While I suppose the latter can kind of be explained by Jason's nightmare at the beginning of the episode, it still felt very sudden and head-scratchy.

Also, I'm getting annoyed with them flip-flopping with Lex. He used to be very ambiguous now it just seems like sloppy writing. In one episode he seems to be evil incarnate and the next he's all super noble.

Oh, I knew that Lex's nightmare was that future vision.

I didn't see who was in the limo that picked up Lionel -- was it Jason's mother ?
