Hijinks Ensue: Dead Leaves on the Dirty Wind

The blog part asks if you'd want to see Firefly continue. This is a tricky question, as I believe one reason it's had such a life after cancellation is partly because it was cancelled. Not just geek word-of-mouth spreading about a treasure now lost and people still discovering it via DVDs and streaming ( Read more... )

Hijinks Ensue: Sherlocked and Loaded

And you absolutely have to read the alt-text.

I heard about this on Tumblr, which is the place where I found this video, from G4's Attack of the Show, in which John Barrowman is talking about shipping. He explains how Entertainment Weekly had a "favorite ship" online poll, but deleted suggestions for Stiles/Derek ( Read more... )

Hijinks Ensue: Know What I'm Saying, Holmes?

Commentary about the various and sundry versions of Sherlock Holmes in the media now, with a Very Special Mention of the Holmes-inspired House coming to an end. The last panel is absolute win if you're into House/Wilson.

Hijinks Ensue: The Unwashed Masses

This reminds me a lot of my midnight showing experience. Especially with the "unwashed masses" title. The funk was strong in that theater, but not as bad as some cons I've been to in years past. Soap. Water. Use them!

Our group of four (two in their early 40s, two in their early 20s) had a group of teens partially ( Read more... )

Sinfest: For the Next 7 Generations

I'm reminded of several recent cases of people sending links to actors, writers, etc., directing them to fanworks that are not theirs. I get squicky enough over such linking due to my Olde School Fandom Ways, but they're linking to stuff without bothering to ask the creator, who might not be comfortable with ( Read more... )

Two Lump: Cat definitions

Unshelved: "No, I want the truth. And I want to be right." Hmm. Wonder if she's writing fanfic?

Hijinks Ensue: Star-Crossed

My icon is so appropriate right now. Be sure to read the post that goes along with the toon.

Two Lumps: Cat owners with Christmas ornaments will totally relate.

Hijinks Ensue: Who Can Save Terra Nova From Itself?

I haven't watched Terra Nova, but that doesn't stop this from being funny. "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" is a must for the middle panels.

NPR: 'A Fish In Your Ear': What Gets Lost In Translation

That's the title of a book NPR is discussing, but there's no reference to what the title is referring to, which is, of couse, Babel fish. If any of you think that's just the name of the translation service Yahoo! Babel Fish, you need to further your education. You can do so just by reading the ( Read more... )

Decaf Just to Recaf Pt. 1 and Decaf Just to Recaf Pt. 2. "I'm going cold fidgeting, twitching turkey."

Yeah, been there several years ago. I wonder if my co-workers at the time are still having nightmares.

Hijinks Ensue: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! From a slightly different perspective.

Gutters: The perfect way to fund more episodes of Firefly.

Was it Firefly Day and I didn't get the memo, only the toons? I thought it was Canada Day. For Independence Day, Science Channel will be doing a Firefly marathon. Yes, I've seen them all. Yes, I ( Read more... )
