"Never go with a hippie to a second location."

Since I figure it's NEVER too late for comments on our favorite shows...I just have to say: 30 ROCK is so funny it's blowing my mind.  Twisted genius over and over every week!  Carrie Fisher was so so great.  Other favorite line last week:  "Maaaan - this is Phil Spector's entourage all over again!"

This past week's REAPER was terrific.  Starting the ep with a soul grab, and having that soul stick around the entire episode, was a nice change.  I love the idea that maybe Sam is getting a bit better at his job, figuring out some of the foibles of his new boss -- and the hint of possibility that the show will turnaround and let Andi in on Sam's lifestyle as a Reaper.  Ray Wise is awesome.  Still.  Loved the fact that the Devil actually hates modern halloween - "the commercialization of evil" - and wishes we could get back to the original Samhain festival it is based on.  Good times.  And the store manager's costumes, hilarious...

BTW has anyone seen INTO THE WILD?  How is it?

Great Joss Whedon news - but what about the strike?

Here's what I learned from SciFi Wire this morning...


*SQUEE*

Joss Whedon is returning to TV!  That he is re-teaming with the wonderful Eliza Dushku and Tim Minear, is heaven sent.


That it's on Fox, and announced on the eve of a still quite likely WGA strike, makes me shiver.


:: prays for righteousness to win out in the end ::

:: also prays for Nathan Fillion to be cast alongside Dushku ::

:: overwhelmed by geeked out joy ::


...Other things learned this morning: Sci-Fi Channel is going green along with its NBC/Universal parents, and NBC is apparently either scrapping or postponing the making of HEROES: ORIGINS.  That last one is a real shame - I seem to be in the vocal minority (or silent majority?) who is STILL ENJOYING THIS SHOW?  Don't frak with it NBC.

OK, now everyone go back to JOSSIFIED SQUEEING! *g*


ETA: More on the new Whedon thing here and here and here...ah life.  It's a pretty impressive week for Joss and/or X-Files fans, eh?

OMG NBCU YOU SUCK TODAY

oh frak, this blows!  they are pretty much ALL GONE.  there's a few left under the 'bsg' tag.

a sad day for fandom.
