Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How many people (roughly) win the green card lottery a year?

According to this website, they make 55,000 available through the lottery each year. (Also from the site, if your country sent over 50,000 immigrants to the US in the last five years, no lottery for you.)

Which explains why the Brits can't take part in the lottery because they just keep on coming anyway.

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

Why did I not hear more people squealing about The Magic Bullet when it aired in the US?

Whoops, whitefonted for Angus: People didn't like it. I thought it was great, though, so we can have a Magic Bullet fandom of two. So creepy!

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

I think I disliked it because nothing happened, but I was so mesmerised by GT that I didn't realise until the end that it had all been covered in the preview.

To every idea a shelf...

I enjoyed it, but more for the humour than the creep factor. Angel and Connor singing "Oh Jasmine..."? There are no words. Too funny. And I'm glad the plot is moving along faster.

I need to rewatch before I form a proper opinion. I watched it with a friend who loves Buffy but thinks Angel is stupid and hasn't watched it since early Season 3, so she was making sarcastic comments the whole time. They were accurate and funny sarcastic comments, but it got me in a critical, silly mood and made me watch in that kind of ironic, distanced way instead of getting absorbed in the story.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I really wigged with Lorne signing "Freddy's Dead" because it was both humorously appropriate, but creepy to see Lorne celebrating that they were going to kill someone who was a friend.

Edited for whitefonting.

Um...I think you're discussing an episode we haven't seen in Melbourne and Adelaide yet (we get it on Thursday this week), so do you mind white-fonting?

Done. Sorry, Angus.

No problems Katie, I don't expect you guys to keep up with the vagaries of Aussie TV programming!

Yes, sorry Angus. Got a little trigger happy with the posting!
