Buffistas

Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

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

The Earthsea discussion was here, right?

I wonder if the people who made the film of The Lord of the Rings had ended it with Frodo putting on the Ring and ruling happily ever after, and then claimed that that was what Tolkien "intended..." would people think they'd been "very, very honest to the books"?

I don't do single malt. Maybe tequila.

I have just officially frightened myself with the depths of my Trekkie geekery. I had the TV running in the background tuned to the SciFi channel, and moments ago identified which particular scene of "The Corbomite Maneuver" was airing, sight unseen, by overhearing the score. Help me?

Um. I'm not sure there is help for that. But, if it makes you feel even the slightest bit better, the TV is on in the other room, and I did identify that it must be tuned to the Sci-Fi channel, because I heard the electronic boinb-boing/thump-thump sound of the life signs monitor (with the red triangles that move up and down) above the beds in the sick bay. Now, that's not all that spectacular, I realize. But the TV's not loud enough for me to hear anything else.

Else I might have been closer to the place of geekery where you are. But, the specific scene? No. That's pretty rarified.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I just turned the channel to see Kirk and McCoy tryiing to have a quiet drink and keep getting interrupted, including Yeoman Rand coming in to insist on the captain eating something.

I sometimes forget about those little moments of "life on the ship" business.

I'm out of scotch and may not have time to get any tomorrow, since I'll probably be in the office. Tequila may have to do it for me, too.

Argh. This is so horrifying. And I'm told by Laura Shapiro that ... they call Ged "Jed" throughout the movie. Not Sparrowhawk. Jed. Because of course no one could have a name that starts with a hard G. Like Gary. Or Gil.

I now know what to get Ursula K. Leguin for Christmas: the head of whoever was behind this "adaptation."

Advance notice from London on Spooks 310 (no spoilers):

The Holy Shit Quotient was 11 -- one louder -- even though I kinda sorta knew it was coming.

Those utter, utter bastards -- and I mean that as a compliment.

t bounce I've been haunting the nova that is supr for a couple of days now. Is the torrent up?

I've been looking and I haven't seen it either, Suela.
