Battlestar Galactica a metaphor for Mormons

So, they got the mystical underwear under the flight suits?

Grey's Parody

Seriously funny. Seriously.

Love me some more McDreamy

The link above goes to an ABC Web page from the writers of Grey's Anatomy. (Thanks Wanda)
ABC has actually made blogs for some of the fictional characters, from the bartender at The Emerald City Bar to The Nurse's Station where they gossip about all the sex the doctors are having...

Secrets within Vanilla Sky

"Songs for the film were chosen so that the lyrics constantly relay the emotion of the scene. When the characters aren't speaking, the lyrics take over and continue to carry the set emotion.....listen to them closely."

"You can hear the splice when the "lucid dream" begins."

Thanks to the Tail Section....(warning:the site is spoilerish)

RIP Chris Penn

It's been a long time since Footloose...


Ren: You like Men At Work?
Willard: what men?
Ren: Men at work.
Willard: well where do they work?
Ren: No, they're a music group.
Willard: well what do they call themselves?
Ren: Oh no! What about the Police?
Willard: What about 'em?
Ren: You ever heard them?
Willard: No, but I seen them.
Ren: Where, in concert?
Willard: No, behind you.


For some reason, I remember Chris Penn more as Willard than Nice Guy Eddie.

RIP

O Vampires with Souls, how I miss your yumminesses.

LOST :::: Mystery photo & Hanso Site

There's much debate on Lost boards about whether this site is legit from ABC or just a rip-and-retool of the Hanso Foundation set up by the Lost creators. I can't get in to the site for whatever reason except for a link provided by a Fuselage poster.

The Hanso Foundation?

LOST ::: :The Long Con's sneaky character connection moment

Yep, that's Kate's mom in the diner serving Sawyer. Below, Sayid made his television appearance in Kate's flashback ep.

A Good Reason to Watch Grey's ~~~~> dialogue, baby, lines!

I swear, I tried to cut back on my television watching, but this show... it's just sucked me in. At first, I shunned it as an ER clone, but it's more than that.

At it's core, it's not about the medicine,but the relationships.

Solid imperfect characters, quirky heartfelt acting, and – most of all – some of the best lines since Buffy and Angel.


Read for yourself:

Dr. George O'Malley: I think you're taking some risks. I think you'll find yourself in some guy's basement being ordered to put the lotion on the skin or you'll get the hose again.

Dr. Meredith Grey: You're my teacher's teacher. And my teacher.
Dr. Derek Shepherd:I'm your sister. I'm your daughter.



Dr. Preston Burke: So, I have a question to ask. I checked the schedule and I noticed that both you and I are off tonight. I made reservations. I have a favorite restaurant.
Dr. Cristina Yang: None of those were questions.

(I want Sandra Oh to play me in my dreamcast movie of the lives of my pals)

Dr. Meredith Grey: After all this time, all your warnings about me sleeping with my boss and you're doing the same exact thing.
Dr. Cristina Yang: Oh, it's not the same thing.
Dr. Meredith Grey: It's the exact same!
Dr. Cristina Yang: No, it's not. You and McDreamy are in a relationship.
Dr. Meredith Grey: And you and Burke are in?
Dr. Cristina Yang: Switzerland. It's very neutral there and they make very nice watches.

Dr. Cristina Yang: [about Burke] He's seen me naked a thousand times.
Dr. George O'Malley: Bad! Bad images in my head!

[to Meredith]
Dr. Cristina Yang: Burke wants to have a relationship... Boys are stupid.

The best lines, voiceover monologues really, go to the title character played by Ellen Pomeo as Dr. Meredith Grey:

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today.

This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.

I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong?

What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day.

Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves.

We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant.

That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."

"Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop. "

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross."

"Intimacy is a four syllable word for, "Here's my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy." It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to the three R's... relatives, romance, and roommates. There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know."

"Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more. "

"Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it? "

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

"Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me."
