"i guess it matters...we're not punk anymore"

Trey and Matt are my heroes.

thin line between heaven and here

10 minutes of some of the greatest lines from the best show ever on television. Audio not safe for work (depending on where you work, obviously.)

nous sommes tout cylons

BSG 3.5 is a wrap. Apparently the Cylons are into Dylan. And now I can't think of a reason to keep cable around for the next 9 months.

Does anyone reading this care besides [m] and me? Just wondering...

bsg 3.17

OK, so I won't elaborate on this for the benefit of people I'm married to currently in another time zone, but...gaaaahhhh!

Henley elaborates, and of course has a much bigger audience of people inclined to discuss such things.

24.6.3-4--live!

This may end up being completely lame, but I thought it would be interesting to try...

(Hit refresh for the latest version)

08:06--I knew David Palmer, David Palmer was a friend of mine...you sir, are no David Palmer.

08:10--Jack goes all GTA on a civ! Assad is my favorite character since Nina...I will be sad when they kill him.

08:18--I'm having a very hard time buying the guy that played Kumar and Taj in Van Wilder as a terrorist.

08:21--More comic relief from Chloe, please!

08:25--Hey nurse! Dose Taj with a shitload of morphine so he passes out!!!

08:30--So the detainees all speak English?

08:35--Well...I'm guessing the concentration camp "special detention facility" arc is going to send this show over the shark with the wingnuts who have thought of it as a policy manual.

I hope.

08:52--Where were this guy's balls when Taj had a gun on his family?

09:00--Not the Sarge!!!

OK. I was right. This is lame. Besides, I need to eat.

You're on your own.

24.6.1-2

The first two hours of 24 last night were sufficiently interesting to capture my interest. There were the contrived scenarios and awkwardly rushed expositionary dialog (think Gilmore Girls meets CSPAN) that have become the show's stock in trade (has this show really been on for half a decade already???) but it also included the best. Escape. Ever. (Let's just say Keifer's work in The Lost Boys came in handy.)

As always, some smart and politically astute people are looking for the political subtext. Personally, I think part of the show's success is that they've managed to be ideologically (and morally) ambiguous enough that everyone tends to project their own viewpoint on the subtext. That said, Jack's newly acquired aversion to torture has the potential to take the show down some interesting paths. Let's hope the writers don't wimp out.

If I get dinner fixed in time, I may try to liveblog hours 3 and 4 tonight. Stay away if you are west of the EST and don't wish to encounter spoilers.
