I am quite amused by your mention of Tam Lin, that is a book I actually just picked up and I cannot tell you how glad I am to have my own copy. I had read it years ago and loved it.
Injustice and Nothing Sacred are shows I have never even heard of! I don't think I even saw the last few season of The X-Files. I have heard how bad they were though. Silly Chris Carter. It will be interesting to see how the movie turns out.
That sounds like a damn interesting band!
Your answer on number 4 is downright fascinating, it pretty much mirrors the answer I would have given!
And I am so so amused that OMWF does it for you, that is (hands down) my very favorite thing ever. And leave it to you to have the really heavy shit be on your list as well! *G*
Thank you for answering, that was very interesting!

If I'd known, I'd have hunted up my spare - it's one of the few books I have more than one copy of, specifically so that I can give it away. I really just love it a LOT.
Nothing Sacred centered around a young parish priest in a big, crumbling Chicago (I think) church in the midst of a multiracial and very poor neighborhood. Everyone in it had serious issues and spent a lot of time questioning their choices - much like a lot of folks I know and love :-). Plus as a former Catholic I really resonated with even the day-to-day details of what the church staff went through.
In Justice was about something called, I think, the National Justice Project. Staffed by a combination of lawyers and law-enforcement types, it investigated innocence claims by Death Row inhabitants. It's the first - and, to date, the only - show I've ever seen for which I had automatic nonremovable slash goggles for the leads (Jason O'Mara and Kyle McLachlan, as the

Five more questions, if you want them: 1. If you could change one thing in history (before the present time) by changing one lifetime (born earlier, later, had flu, whatever) what would it be? 2. Would you describe the ideal tv show for you? 3. What actor would play you in a movie about your life? 4. Where do you want to travel that you haven't been yet? 5. Where would you like to live that you haven't lived yet?
I do want them, and I thank you for them. I'd hoped to write them up this morning, but I need to get to work before the (tiny but still distracting) masses arrive. Tonight, I hope.
Funny that you view ""Once More With Feeling"" as an unoriginal choice for best hour of tv ever... I said so at the time, and still hold it to be true.
I'm juts sorry you missed my impassioned diatribe in San Diego about how unbelievably badly that show ended - about why it broke down and where ALL signs showed it going, and what Joss copped out on...
Still, "Once More With Feeling" made it all worthwhile.

And I wholeheartedly agree. It just seems to be...hm. repetitively chic? in some circles around which I circle to find it so, and so I feel the need to apologize. Ridiculous, really.

As am I. Not that I'd have been the best audience ever for said diatribe, given that my knowledge of the canon arises from (1) direct viewing of s1, s2.5, and selected later eps (including the one where Spike and Buffy have house-destroying sex, which hurt my brain out of contest), (2) careful fic, and (3) regular perusal of mainstream entertainment weeklies. Still, I should think your soapbox time was something to see.

Now THAT question IS heresy. :)
The almighty San Diego ComicCon. Around what other event could Jessica Alba's aunt think I was talking about her niece when I was really talking about showing my portfolio to the appreciative and stunning (and geeky) Rosario Dawson?
There nothing like it if you know how to work it. And I've been training my peeps for years...
One of the pleasures of Buffy was the schema of the thing. That each season the villain became more and more dangerous. And then Joss fucked it over 8 ways from Sunday.

Yeah, I thought it might be. I'm often woefully ignorant :-s. Always - well, usually - eager to learn, though, which should count for something, no?
Around what other event
...offhand, I can't think of a one. Huh.
I hope you've seen the end of Season 5 too?
Nope. I've seen bits and pieces after s2, but s2.5 is really where I got stuck. I have this problem, you see, which is that I don't much like Buffy herself. (As distinct from, say, the dialogue she utters, which I do like very much.) Tends to get in the way of my really revelling in the show. Probably also heresy, but there it is.
Q, Q, Q, how did I not know that you dig the CSI/Bones/NCIS trifecta as well? I am feeling even more of an urge to flail at you than usual.
*snugs a bunch*
And that aside, again, it just makes me wildly squeeful to see posts from you. YAY. I do enjoy peeks into your mind so very much.
Not so much with the five questions thing, ebcause I can't think of anything sensible right now, but may I ask what aspects of those shows you particularly enjoy? I'm curious as to what perspective you take on them. (Especially because they've become some of my favourite shows, which given my usual feelings on and reactions to violence/depictions of same/etc is kind of weird in some ways, but I can totally resolve it to myself. I just wonder how other people do.)
Mutual flailing is absolutely encouraged, for sure.
(heeeee. *hearts!*)
Not boring at all! I don't know if I can explain it sufficiently without sounding creepy/weird but you have such clear and obvious integrity as well as being wicked hot, smart and funny and all, and I like how you think. Like, catching the tail ends of discussions with etben and airinshaw and you at MJ, and stuff like that. <3

YAYS! I thought I might be the only one, and I was feeling a bit lonely, all alone in this infinite void. Should've known, really.
I am feeling even more of an urge to flail at you than usual.
Cannot imagine why you would want to flail at me at all, but am perfectly willing to be flailed at - as long as it's allowed to be mutual.
(...examines that sentence and despairs of the grammar therein)

God. Um. Why? Because I have this bone-deep (possibly literally) conviction that I am WAAAAAYYY boring.
may I ask what aspects of those shows you particularly enjoy?
Certainement. May I contemplate and get back to you?
