::stops by on two-year(ish) anniversary of last Farscape review::

I was just typing this up. And the reason I remembered it was because my elementary school Christmas play had a showstopping number entitled "Mary Said Yes to God One Day."

I believe it is based on the fact that they both have curly hair. Only way for that to happen is secret twins ;)

Well, I didn't say Emmy-worthy. But better than I remembered.

Watching the first season when it first aired I was definitely one of the people turned off by Leslie as female Michael Scott. However, rewatching the first season after the show had well-established itself (around season 4 or so), I found I could retroactively see traces of the character Leslie would become and it…

Patrick Stewart is using all of the correct facial expressions in that scene. So many subtle variations on "WTF."

Related note: I think one thing Voyager did better than TNG was give its female characters good material. It wasn't all about birthing mysterious alien light babies and getting seduced by ghosts that live in your dead grandomther's candle holder.

There was always something awkward about sex on TNG. It was somehow kind of…corporate? Like when sex came up on the show, it was like the characters were all people from your office in an HR training skit on relationships in the workplace.

Yeah, this article is making me realize that although I had thought that my youth-of-music peaked and died in middle school with grunge/alternative/etc., it actually had another run in my early twenties with this stuff. Hooray! There will be early-adulthood music nostalgia for me to bore my kids with someday after all!

Ouch, my youth…

Well, I might as well jump in and say that I like both of those too, but I like the third one best.

Wow. I'm pretty sure that in the course of writing this article you accidentally performed an experiment providing evidence that the uncanny valley effect is already present in small children. Like, seriously, that was scientifically neat, that he's not afraid of the horrifying bugs but he is of the humanoid-like ones.

He maybe did.

I think somehow Steve Holt ended up doing more good for GOB than vice-versa, not that GOB appreciated it enough.

Heck, even Frank and Charlie to some extent. (Remembering that in the "Sunny" world we have to use a very generous definiton of "good").

And, you know, "Mad Men" :)

Didn't Adult Swim air Inuyasha at one point?

I think it's 47 creators, with some shows having more than one creator. I'd count to double check, but I'm a girl so I'm bad at math. ::goes back to running linear mixed models on R in other window::

The creators know enough to identify just when to drop a fake word like “gobsmackingly” into their mordant spoofing.

He's actually a classically-trained Kyogen actor, playing a famous character from a genre series.
