....and James Tiptree as the continuity editor.
So... Tribbles are spheres then?
God I loved Five Million Years to Earth. Somebody needs to get a digital release of that out stat.
(edit: whattaya know; it came out on blu-ray (as Quatermass and the Pit) a couple months ago. I'll be adding that to my holiday movie schedule)

Well, it's surely far too late for purchasing this to indicate enough interest to get those long-ago promised webisodes done, but maybe it'd shake something loose for getting more comics (which have been quite good).
By far the best reason for getting it tho (as far as I'm concerned) is it's as good a reason as I'm likely to have to go back and re-watch it all again...

Apparently they were shot on film, which gives them an opportunity to re-digitize them at better resolution.
I've only seen a little bit of the blu-ray so far (looked at the first few minutes of Liars, Guns & Money). The good news is that it stands up very well in HD. The bad news is that it's still 4:3; I guess there was no 16:9 to go back to. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing just how panoramic it would look in widescreen.

Yup.
It probably goes along with the image of some FBI agent who has pissed the bureau off enough that he gets assigned to look into a goofy case in the ass-end of nowhere, I suppose...
Looked like a 72-73(ish) Dodge Challenger -- in gawd-awful "Super Blue" (and primer grey), I think.
(apparently claiming to be FBI agents climbing out of a 44yr old black Impala wasn't dubious-looking enough)

I've decided that it's hard to tell, for me at least. I thought Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles had nowhere to go (anchored in the gap between two movies), and quit watching after the first half or so of S1. A few months later I decided to clean up the accumulated episodes since that point off my DVR, but started watching just to be sure -- and that show actually ended up turning into something amazing from that point forward...
I'll probably stick around Grimm until it gets too dumb to bear, or gets canceled, whichever comes first (given the state of NBC, it may take awhile for the latter to happen). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll find somewhere to interesting to go -- or at least be corny enough to hate on and make fun of; I've got room on my schedule for that since Smallville rode off into the sunset.

In fairness -- and not to give Grimm credit where none has yet been earned -- substantial parts of Buffy S1 were like Buffy for Idiots too, compared to some of the later stuff.
I tend to give genre stuff a good long running start to get to somewhere interesting; sadly, the networks seldom manage to give them the same.

If they're retreading S1 MotW, at least they're avoiding some of the more egregious ones. (or actively poking fun at them, as with the haunted car a week or two ago).
+1 Also, they might have been a little more aggressive if Spike and Cordy hadn't just handed them their asses in the previous scene.
Nice first outing indeed for Messrs. Acker & Blacker. I think my favorite line tho was "Geraldo'ed!" when they found the empty coffin of the second sister, followed closely by the alternate lifestyle "brothers" being Campbells.
Quinto's been great so far -- hopefully he'll recur more than sporadically...
I don't know that I'd go so far as "great TV", but it's doing a nice job of providing my minimum weekly requirement of "WTF" while True Blood is on hiatus.
about the only name I've stuck to from week to week so far is "The Gimp".
Have to admit I almost bailed at the first sight of yet another haunted vehicle... On the whole, tho, a typical "filler" episode; not terrible, but didn't accomplish much, either.
I'd accept a giant squid -- but only if it's being controlled by a cult of Dagon-worshipers.
Google Images has a bunch of Kripke pics...
A picture would be good - I'm curious as to whether that was the actual SPN writer's room and (some of) the writing staff on the commercial... Somehow I never really pictured it as sunny and well lit...
