thehefnerIn the ten minutes of show I caught while on the treadmill, GILMORE GIRLS featured Shakespeare trivia about how many plays Falstaff was in, a girl in a Dead Kennedys shirt, and a rebellious-teen-girl character who rebels by dressing up in a bunny suit for kids' parties and stalking Tom Waits. Shit, I'm going to have to watch this show now, aren't I?
Watching DARIA re-runs when they air at 3 am. Is it just me, or does Sandi have the same accent as Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons? I wonder if that's some sort of regional California elitist accent or something. I can so hearing Sandi saying, "That is the worst... outfit... ever. Rest assured I will be registering my disgust to the entire Fashion Club."
I looked up DARIA info on tv.com, and wow, the insight these people give to the shows. It's amazing, it really is. Why, do you know what they had listed under "Episode notes" for the final episode of the show? It read, "This episode is sort of sad." **headdesk** I really do wonder why so many Daria fans are people who Daria would hate. Not that there's many people who Daria likes, but you get my point.
As for James Marsters as Brainiac, I just hope they actually CALL him Brainiac. It's important that they do. Sure, I'd be very happy if they'd give him the green skin, head-circuitry, and of course the purple booty shorts, but let's at least give him the name. No more things like "hot exchange student Mr. Mxyzptlk."
Half the cast of FIREFLY does voices for JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. You people need to watch this show. It's as brilliant as anything Whedon has ever done. I'm not even kidding.
Also, what's with the aversion to FARSCAPE? I'm serious, people, you would all love it. Especially FIREFLY fans. How come this space opera masterpiece is getting short-changed with a good show that only lasted one season? Blows my mind.
Ok, this post was as much an excuse to use this new icon as anything else. Yes, it's a real panel. The first appearance of Catwoman, oddly enough. It never fails to bring me joy.
