    The middle one with Shatner in the short tunic reminded me right away of Zapp Brannigan in his uniform jacket with no pants. It takes a real man to carry off something like that!

    It was actually a 15 minute story but Shatner's and West's pauses inflated it to an hour.

    Okay, this is going to be unpopular, but Firefly was not that great. Don't get me wrong - it was an awesome show, great premise, witty banter, and great actors - but a lot of the stories were weak (Heart of Gold? The Train Job? The Message?). Given a second season, the show probably would have better found its legs, but I don't understand when people hold it up as the end-all, be-all of modern science fiction. And I say this from a place of love, as someone who's Firefly and Serenity DVDs have a place of prominence in my collection.

    As much as Battlestar shat the bed at the end, there was enough awesome to make up for it. I wouldn't trade Roslin, I wouldn't trade Starbuck, I wouldn't trade Donna Noble or Rose Tyler or the Doctor, I wouldn't trade the Planet Express crew. Hell, given the awesome that was Children of Earth, I probably would think twice before trading in the Torchwood team. I would love it if Firefly came back, but to suggest that it was better than all of the shows that we've had in the past seven years seems overreaching, to say the least.

    It's amazing how easy it is to juxtapose ancient history and science fiction.

    That must be the first time Old Ham & Cheese had ever ridden a horse. Hanging on to poor creature for dear life, crowding the reins, and bouncing around like a piece of baggage.
