An exceptionally cool poem: "Beach Climbing," by Elizabeth Barrette. Science fiction and poetry, the best things ever, combined into one! Lots more at the Strange Horizons site ( Read more... )

(Rick having a satellite fall on him, one of the others falling asleep on a glacier and dying of hypothermia, one hit by a freak lightning strike on an oil rig, etc.)

I love Canada.

I love Canada.

What?? All this time, I thought the show was based in Canada! I've been living a lie!

Didja know that 1 out of 8 Americans believe that Alaska is a foreign country? No, really, they did a survey.

Silly person! As if there would ever be a show on primetime network TV not based in the US. ;)

*headdesk* One in ten Americans can't find their own head without a map.

... every single man she's slept with has died not long after. She's not thrilled with the idea of committment. Her family was uninterested in showing affection, to say the least, so she has that demon to battle as well. Her heart is perhaps a bit broken. A valve is clogged, if you will.

This is so accurate! She was always 'clogged'. And Joel wasn't. Not is terms of relationship. That's what scared her most, that a person she despised so much because his issues about life, could succeed where she failed: accept love. From his parents, from his fiancee (until it last).
Maggie's heart was definitely broken and Joel fixed it, even without knowing. I always loved this episode, and you gave me one better reason! Thanks!

(LiveJournal just emailed this to me...only a week late...)

I hadn't thought about Maggie disliking Joel because he could accept love and she couldn't. That's very interesting!

This episode is still one of my favorites, because of the whole plane/heart thing. It's so perfect.

Yes, the plane/heart was perfect! Joel fixed her plane! yay!!!
