RE Citizen Joe, which I've just now watched the beginning of: Who knew "seven years ago" translated to "1957"? *headdesk*

I'm not sure what you mean. Unless you are referring to "1967," the episode where they went back in time. That can be explained by Jack Recalling the events of the story as he wrote his reports. Apparently that is how most of the stories were transmitted to Joe. When Jack reviewed the incidents in his mind, Joe got the mental images because Jack was close enough to the transmitter for Joe to receive again.

The two aliens were

Ah yes! The very aliens who forced the peace treaty between the Klingons and the Federation, thus starting thier cold war.

And no, I didn't see Enterprise. I just wanted to make that comment.

Daniel: I was referring to the costuming/cultural vibe of all of the Joe scenes. I mean, Indiana, yeah, okay, but I felt like I was in a movie that was set sometime in the fifties rather than a scene from a TV show that was supposed to be set in the 90s. It felt like Mayberry or something. The vibe was very weird.

Katie: Oddly enough, it didn't phase me, because there are people that could be exactly like that stereotype going to not only a barbershop a block from my house, but ones like it in small towns all over Minnesota. The only thing that changes are the magazines on the rack and the calander on the wall. They still go bowling, they still have mostly-male clientele, and they still play poker every week. They interact with the real world, and even discuss it, but the place and the people could be right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

And? I stay away from their temporal distortion fields, for the most part.

Heh. Well, I defer to someone with actual midwestern experience, then.

Tis bittersweet, though, because I live a block from 1957.

BSG ep 13

Holy shit! Keeps getting better.

Did you see the Smallville promo?

They are threatening us with a Clark/anonymous blonde we've never seen before wedding.

OK, everybody stop squeeing about the latest BSG right now, 'cause I've downloaded all the episodes for digital storage (you know, before the torrents went away) and have made a firm resolution to watch the actual show along with everyone else getting the US broadcast... and I'm totally eating my arm now to prevent clicking on that file of ep 4 and keep watching until I find out what the hell's got everyone so freaked. DAMNIT.

Will-power... fading... arrrghh.

Vonnie, stay with me. I'm going with broadcast only. Plus, I'm gonna be behind something awful, since I'll be in NZ for at least 3 weeks.
