Awesome!

Today I have been running around buying a tripod, sorting out travel for tomorrow morning to Newport for my storytelling gig and the evening for Birmingham to be up at UK Games Expo for the weekend. I forgot to buy some extra DV tapes, so I'm going to have to go out early tomorrow morning to buy some before heading to Newport. Today I still ( Read more... )

So it seems to me that there is a point in the life-span of any "cult" show that things... change. I'm not necessarily talking about jumping the shark, but certainly a slight deviation which may still be good - but sometimes a little strange or uncharacteristic.
