Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I hope he and MR have scenes together.

Oh dear fuck. I think my ovaries just exploded.

Meh. I wasn't using them anyway.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I finally got to see Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars and what a thing of beauty. It kicked so many kinds of ass. Thank god I was spoiled or I would have been an even bigger mess at the end than I was.

On a completely shallow note: Damn, Braca was looking hot.

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.

Well, Enterprise also mucked up the Klingons in that "T&T" established that, yes, the Klingons used to look like TOS Klingons (one of the great throaway jokes in that ep - "We do not speak of it!"), and then Enterprise has to go and use the current Klingon makeup. Feh.

I read they're actually going to do an episode explaining that this season.

They've gotten better. Sort of. At least Berman's out of the day-to-day stuff.

Definitely. They recently did a couple episodes laying the groundwork for the Vulcan society and behavior we're familiar with rather than the pseudo-Vulcans we've seen on the show so far.

Although that part still kind of drives me nuts. But I suppose they're at least trying to explain why these things they've been calling "Vulcans" haven't resembled Vulcans at all.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Someone mentioned upthread that this season was going to be attempting to repair canon....even to the point of explaining Klingon physiology.

"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

Ah, so instead of "High School Is Hell" the theme of the season will be "We're sorry, Trekkies—PLEASE come back!"

I read they're actually going to do an episode explaining that this season.

Somehow, this pisses me off more. Probably because there's almost no way I can conceive of them doing this that isn't going to be half-(or quarter) assed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

So, due to a lot of you, I'm catching up on BSG. I resented and disliked the mini because of Firefly fallout. And also, the original show was part of my halcyon days of tv-watching, back before I HAD critical faculties. I mean, Starbuck pretty! Hey the helmets look like pharaoh's headdresses! Ooo, that brown velvet sure goes nice with Starbuck's shiny hair, Apollo's pretty eyes, and Boomer's--everything. I really loved the triumvirate of Starbuck, Apollo and Boomer. One scene (the ep with the Barillian Nomen--however you spell that) of a tandem quickdraw, one righty, one lefty, in the same breath--ooooo.

And this new remake was messing with all that (That the old show was crap was irrelevant, because a lot of tv back then was crap, and almost ALL sf tv was, so we took what we could get--uphill, both ways--and were grateful for it). I mean Apollo is now Lee? This is a hero's name? And my Kinsey may not be where it used to be, but I'm sorry, Boomer and Starbuck were yummy--girls now, nsm.

But you guys keep talking, and I tend to listen, and I love Eddie Olmos and Mary McDonnell, and well, curious. So I'm watching, and trying to catch up, and trying to give it a chance. And tonight I'm all into it, and I realize...

...Man, the music! They're ripping off Firefly's music! The Indian-influence stuff. Yeah, it suits, but still. Mad again now.

Still watching, though.
