Farscape... (sort of)
Yay! I finished my online class! I scored 94% on the final exam!
To celebrate, let's watch this awesome clip from Stargate SG-1, of "Farscape":
"Piece of advice? If you're going to rip something off, think of something a little more obscure."
"Oh, ok."
...
"Ok, you got me. I have no idea what that is."

Quote of the Week
Stargate isn't the best show ever, but it is, on occasion, quite fun. From the episode "Bad Guys":
[Vala is trying to turn a bomb into a power source for the stargate.]
Daniel: [over walkie-talkie, to Cameron] How goes it on your end?
Cameron: [to Vala] How goes it on our end?
Vala: I think I have it. Maybe.
Cameron: Vala...
Vala: There's a 70% chance that if we dial [the stargate] manually we'll be able to establish a connection and a 50% chance the bomb will just go off.
Cameron: That's 120%.
Vala: Well, there's some crossover where we establish a wormhole and it blows up.
Cameron: [to walkie-talkie] Jackson, did you catch any of that?
Daniel: Yeah. There's 100% chance we should have brought someone who knows what they're doing.

Quote(s) of the Week
I've been neglecting my quotes.... I'd blame Harry Potter, but I've only been reading for those for the last week and a half. (I'm up to book 5, by the way.)
31 July:
"The fact that this show has been running for twenty years and doesn't seem to have a problem coming up with new criminals every week says something about this society. There's not a single week where they're like, 'You know what? Cases have all been solved. We're done. No new episodes needed.' Instead, every week is filled with warnings about fugitives who are charged with murders, robberies and child molestation and are currently at large. If I didn't live here, this show would make me stay away."
-Angel Cohn, "TWoP 10 Shows that Give America a Bad Name.... Literally"
07 August:
Daniel: So this iris is going to hold, right?
Sam: Pure titanium, less than three micrometers from the even horizon. It won't even allow matter to fully reintegrate.
Jack: So this iris is going to hold, right?
Sam: If it doesn't, the fail-safe device will detonate, this whole mountain will vaporize, and there'll be nothing to worry about.
Jack: Ah, good. I feel much better.
-Stargate SG-1, "The Enemy Within"
14 August:
"The [photo] shoot is for Banana Boat sunblock, and Jay tells us that Banana Boat wants us to celebrate the sun with their anti-burn system. Another good anti-burn system is 'shade'."
-Potes, recapping America's Next Top Model for TWoP
21 August:
Tosh: No, I can't just hook something up. The entire telephone network is down!
Owen: What about a mobile connection?
Tosh: The. Entire. Telephone. Network. Is. Down.
Ianto: Mobiles, landlines, tine cans with bits of string -- everything, absolutely everything! No phones, phones all broken. [mimics talking on a phone] Hello? Anyone there? [resumes normal voice] No, because the phones aren't working!
-Torchwood, "Sleeper"
28 August:
daughter: I'm piercing my nose.
mom: Fine, I'm not raising your illegitimate children.
daughter: What?
mom: You'll pierce your nose, get a trashy boyfriend and end up with illegitimate children. You and your trashy boyfriend are not living in my house, and neither are your kids.
daughter: Wow mom, thanks for the credit. Clearly that's the natural progression after piercing your nose.
