I've been reading the Superman Rebirth trades. The Tomasi Sueprman is really really good. I like Super-Dad a lot. Less excited by Action so far, but I kind of like the "evil or not evil?" Lex. When he throws himself at Doomsday to give Superman a few seconds to save people, I was honestly floored.

I like New Vegas. But the Mojave is too heavily populated for A) a post-apocalyptic game and 2) my PS3 to handle controlling all those goddam sprites. Crash, crash, crash. I still haven't done the last expansion pack, because every time I try to start that game it just fucking freezes.

Don't toy with them! Headshots is the only clean way to kill a super-mutant, by gum.

I dunno. I think it's just in keeping with the source material. Dorothy Gale didn't just land anywhere, after all. Her house landed on a witch and boom! the story got underway. Same thing for Johnny C, here.

I think it's just a case of without that, you don't really have a show. An hour of John Crichton floating in his Farscape pod in an empty section of space, trying to figure out how to stay alive in a temporary craft and get home would certainly be tension filled and interesting, but it wouldn't sustain a whole season,…

I think John's PTSD is a huge part of the character. It's a big part of why he doesn't fit in on Earth any longer, and why he takes suicidal chances over and over again in desperate efforts to win, or lose gracefully.

That scene made my heart leap into my throat, and kind of crystallized a lot of the things that were bothering me about the season at the time and brought them into focus as deliberate choices rather than writerly failings, and made me feel as though my faith in the show was right and true and good.

I agree with everything here, but… Aeryn in that Cher get-up. I mean, c'mon. I'm not made of stone, people.

I got so excited. I even said "Ben!" a little too loud in the theater when he showed up.

I'm not doing those behind the scenes summaries I did for Season 1-3, because that is just crazy to even think about, but … I kind of want to. I've been feeling the itch to rewatch Farscape lately, and this is as good a kick in the pants as any to do it.

It's Act 4 of a 5 act play, where they never really go the chance to do a proper fifth act - just sort of sum it up. So the rough beginning of the season, without Aeryn, really colored the rest of the episodes, I think, and season four kind of struggled a lot. At least until the end.

Alasdair, you're the best. Seriously. Thanks for doing this, and so sorry I missed it when it went up, and I'm so glad that I learned about it. I love this show so much, and I really enjoyed the reviews and the commentary space and all the fine folks here.

“Tell Susan and Liv that I love them. And I’ll contact you if I can.
Tell everyone.” “I will, son. You tell my grandkids about me.” “That’s a
no-brainer. They got to know who my hero is.”

Openness and honesty may occasionally lead to bad feelings, but it's still a better policy than playing your cards too close to your chest. Don't be noncommittal about drinks; just be honest that you have a family thing that day. You don't have to go full-on overboard and explain the anxiety that family things induce…

That's what I'm hoping. I'll register and hang around and see what happens - at least it will be possible to "recognize" everyone who does the same.

Solidarity, Reg.

I think that is probably part of why they consider us important enough to accommodate us when possible.

I'm not personally wedded to the backlog of my comments and associated upvotes (or downvotes) - I ported over to Disqus from my AVC account the last time things went totally bullshit. What I'm concerned about is the community itself and whether it can stay together, how kinja can facilitate that, and how it might…

I can't believe I missed it!

Cats and dogs, living together - mass hysteria!
