Tried Farscape, couldn't stomach it. I think I got about halfway through the first season and just couldn't stand it. But tastes vary - as my mom says, "That's why they make vanilla and chocolate ice cream".

Tried to find it on video on the web but was unsuccessful, so here 'tis:

Something interesting that I don't think has been mentioned: when the shows originally aired there was a prologue that played introducing the world of the show; there was one narrated by Shepherd Book and one by Mal. They're not on the dvds but oddly ARE on the Netflix Streaming version…

Trivia/Easter egg - Han Solo appears in (I think) every episode of Firefly. There's a tiny "Han Solo frozen in Carbonite" toy that Whedon made sure was in the background in at least one shot in each episode.

Looks like a young Charles Muntz, the villain from "Up".

I don't remember exactly when it was that I realized that pretty much every single song by Christine McVie was an incredibly depressing tale of codependency, but for faux-upbeat, I nominate "Over My Head", which sounds like a lovely bouncy piece of fluff but which says, "You can take me to paradise, then again you can…

I agree…if I recall correctly, Cat sends Jaime off with a promise to find her girls, and he kind of takes that seriously, which I thought was the beginning of his "redemption". If she cuts his hand off, I just can't see how that would happen…

Here's a question that just came up in my conversation about this ep with my girlfriend: do we know for certain that Korra did in fact have this flashback, or might it be a flashback that only we as the audience saw? I.e., did it happen within the fiction, or could it just be a flashback for us?

Thank you - that felt TOTALLY cheesy and out of character for the show. WTF?

Kind of vexed me that in the audiobooks it's consistently pronounced like "Breye-EEN"

I've heard this said before, and I disagree - I think there's a difference between making a poor decision and making a good decision that has catastrophic repercussions. Martin does that a lot - have characters make decisions that are completely logical for the character, but that we as privileged readers know are…

Agreed - I thought it was just a setup for Arya's mantra that she would repeat to herself each night...

I don't know if it's because I first listened to it as a suggestible youth or what, but the little mini-suite on the back half of "Welcome to My Nightmare" still gives me delightful creeps - the whole "Years Ago/Steven/Awakening" combination. It's got a feel like a really messed-up seventies horror movie…I love it.

But…but…but the New York Times said only D&D-playing mouth-breathers watch this show! How can this be?

(Spoilers, but you already know this…) I may be off here, but I >think< that it wasn't much of a secret who and where the bastards were. The secret that Jon Arryn uncovered was that all the bastards had black hair, while Robert's "real" children did not, revealing that they were not in fact his. But I don't think the…

I've been listening to the Dan since the 70's but only recently really sat down and listened to Peg on a system that did it justice. The bass line (and the one on "Josie") made we want to grab random passers-by and yell "LISTEN to this!" in their faces.
