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.

Oh, yes. Brown jumpers over white blousey dresses. They looked and sounded like something out of Anne of Green Gables.
t flails helplessly Arha is Eaten. She wears black, and lives in a room with a cot and a table, and before she is fifteen she starves three trespassers to death. This is so far from Harry Potter. Argh!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, in cheerier news, I'm watching Atlantis 15, and the McKay Sheppard show is in full effect.
The episode itself is kinda whatever, though.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Starting January 21, I think.

Personally, I think that any editing that cuts out the cameo is injudicious.
Darn tootin'.
And I love the Sheppard McKay show, so yay for them.
I have zero familiarity with Earthsea. Sounds like I still will even if I watch the mini. Interesting.

I expect so. I rather doubt they'll get into all the really interesting stuff, about the naming of names, the constraints on the use of magic, the importance of language, all the thousands of years of history behind the characters.
I'm really very nervous about this.

Jen, while the first two books are arguably for children, they read as mythical and pain-filled and somehow very true in the same way that The Hobbit did for me. I'd be hard pressed to suggest something more worthy of reading.

In many ways, more so. What the protagonists do, in pride or ignorance, is far beyond any error Bilbo would ever make.

That's a rec I will take, then. I'm surprised I'd never heard of it, actually. (Edited to remove babbling. Sometimes I use too many words.)
