"Oh no! We’ve been condemmed to Leeds!"
Leeds, thankfully, featured a row of redbrick terraced houses with large extended Pakistani families crowded into each room and gravel-voiced Coronation Street dropouts standing on their doorsteps slagging off the neighbours. Thank god Rusty didn’t resort to stereotypes.

Kristen Schaal. On the Daily Show. What a wonderful day this has turned out to be.

Why did none of you tell me that Battlestar Galactica was so good? Yes, people have been telling me to watch it, but it’s so damn fine that you should have been strapping me to a chair and propping my eyes open with metal forceps, Clockwork Orange-style. I’ve only watched the first half dozen episodes from season 1, but it’s so much better than the mini-series I almost can’t believe it. Did they fire the original scriptwriter and hire a roomfull of geniuses? The script is awesome, the acting is first rate and the special effects are just peachy. Even better, there’s a sense of gritty realism about the whole thing that been missing from mainstream sf (with the possible exception of Firefly) for far too long.
Right. I’m off to EBay to find series 2 on the cheap.
Wedding report still to come.

Two comments so far. Firstly, we know why her dad divorced her mum – have you ever seen a gayer man? He’s got fantastic hair. Second, is that Vernon Kay playing David the psycho alien son? Third – sonic lipstick? Sonic lipstick?
It’s still better than K9 And Company, anyway. [EDIT]
“Help! Aliens are taking over the world through the devious medium of Sunny Delight!”
“There’s only one thing for it! Attack it with your mobile ringtone!”
Do you think this show is, just perchance, aimed at kids?

A Firefly MMORPG? Please don’t let it be shit. Please, please, pretty please. I need a fix so bad.

The return of Babylon 5! Sort of! Maybe! If it’s any good! Which it probably won’t be! But still! Woo hoo!
