Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

were they able to wrap it up in 13 eps?

Yes. That's why they continued to make the show after it was cancelled.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm thinking... the illegal and dangerous practice of riding your spaceship real close behind a bigger ship, and having sex while the quantum slipstream pulls you into hyperspace. It makes the orgasm seem to last forever.

I'm kind of surprised this wasn't a Farscape episode.

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

Good on them.

Sisto's partner is way cool. It's possible that it's way obvious what I just saw her do that prompts me to post that she's cool, but she was cool before that too.

Our wings are not tired.

Awesome, thanks! (about Kidnapped)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have discovered the hilarity of Axe Cop, a comic written by a 5-year-old and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother. It's pretty awesome. Here are some sample lines:

So the new team went to the land of volcanoes and fought the gang of dinosaurs with their axe and flute.

So Telescope Cop and Uni-Baby went back to their secret lab and ate apples. Then they grew apple hands that could shoot apples.

"I got a unicorn horn from getting so smart."

"I need to go to the Weapon Store first."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That reminds me of Matt Groening's Will & Abe cartoons.

I need apple hands that shoot apples.

And a Midnight Bomber Who Bombs At Midnight.

Okay, banana Alpen muffins in oven. Glad I finally got off my arse on that one. Not sure what my excuse was.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

We have churched and lunched and done some homework. Now mac is in front of a movie and I need to get the house ready for the painter and get to the grocery store.

Because books.

What's the "Alpen" part, ita?

Alpen is a British muesli, Amy. Apart from Sainsbury own-brand, it's the only sort I like. Which is annoying, because it's a pain to get. So I shouldn't be wasting it on muffins, but too late! Now one just has to cool down enough for me to eat it.

I feel like I wasted an opportunity to use up yoghurt or sour cream, though. But it was damned quick and unmessy.

On final episode of Kidnapped. Definitely interesting.
