journalist tip: random facts about nazis /= good lead
Here is what The Oregonian had to say about the Serenity screenings this weekend:
"SERENITY" BENEFIT -- Members of the paramilitary branch of the Nazi party were known as "brownshirts." Fans of the TV series "Firefly" and its big-screen offshoot "Serenity" are known as "browncoats." More proof of their differences can be found in the fact that the Portland branch of the browncoats have organized a benefit screening of "Serenity" to benefit Equality Now, an organization which seeks to end violence and discrimination against women and a favored cause of "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon. The brownshirts would never have approved.
I ... don't have much to say, other than that's amazingly retarded.
I might be going home tonight instead of tomorrow, yay! I will be able to download last week's Deadwood. Also play lots of Sim 2 before I go off to classes, since I am borrowing my sister's cd for the summer while she's away. Woot, pretend people!
I was just at the SGA website to check what day the premiere was, because I couldn't remember, and I checked out the FAQs. This one cracks me up:
Q: Why do the aliens speak English?
A: Practical reasons that come with television production. The time constraints of an hour-long episode mean that it would become a major hindrance to the story each week if the team had to spend the first 10 minutes of each episode learning to communicate with a new species.
Man, dude, you could at least PRETEND that you have some kind of in-story justification for your plot holes, you know? It's not like it has to be good!
The episode of season one NCIS I watched last night had Jessica Steen in it. Fraser's baby sister really gets around!

Please continue to watch NCIS. It only gets better. Season 3 is on FIRE, yo.
If you watch, I promise to corral a flourishing fandom that will be here when you emerge, and we can pimp to the rest of SGA/fandom at large.
NCIS deserves more!! Won't you write me fic? Tony/Gibbs? Abby/anyone? Come on, you know you want to.
Love,
Cows
