***Dave reports exciting Farscape news, in addition to previous exciting Firefly news and B5 news (a friend has the Variety article on the Firefly news here. But is this a real “bricks and mortar” production, or an online production? It looks like a project put together by former makeup/character production crew members… need to dig a little. And while I do, this article is pretty amusing and/or depressing if you’re a fan of TV science fiction (and yes, we have Scare Tactics triple thumbs-downed, thanks for asking)

According to Edward Hasbrouck’s excellent travel blog:

Yeah, I like this show…I’ve been watching it for a while now. And slowly, gradually and imperceptibly, we’ve gradually gotten most of the house cleared out, cleaned up, and organized. The worst areas are now the hidden-from-public view areas: The Big Lair O’ Computers in the basement, and the garage (which isn’t that bad, just needs more shelving and a good cleaning out after the last frost, when I get the rain barrels set up again). And today when we get home, the house will be clean, because we signed up with a cleaning service – one we used several…

Yep, it would be so cool to hang out with cool people who just won the friggin' Golden Globes for Chrissake, and also to be able to play the accordion yet maintain coolness. I am just bowled over that Ricky Gervais seems to go unrecognized, but then I'm a BBC American, we're funny like that. Seriously – what a fun life, although it's definitely one lived in the public eye. How odd it would be to know that untold numbers of strangers were checking in on your life, and whether you were treating your loved ones right (and wondering who…

Goa’uld captured in lava lamp – note human decoy figure to right You saw it here first, conspiracy theorists – everything on “Wormhole X-Treme!1!” is totally real. This juvenile specimen was lured into the containment vessel (cleverly disguised as a Lava Lamp ™ by the use of a simple decoy. Is this why these retro-cool novelty items are suddenly available at your nearest Walgreens? The gummint is quietly trying to place one of these snakehead traps in every home, because invasion is immanent!1

Okay, this is funny. Another one of my pet peeves validated. 😉

Yep, fell off the couch laughing at Angel. Which the WB cancelled why? Because it sounds like they love Joss Whedon and David Borenaz to bits. And it seems that the writer/director of “Smile Time,” the puppet episode, loves everybody, too. So the WB is cancelling this excellent and daring show why? I’ve really, really enjoyed this season and don’t want to see it end too soon – I’ve been waiting for the payoff to the Wolfram & Hart “deal with the devil” and I hope to see a resolution, and not have to wait for a hoped for or…

Sparky : The Sgt Siler Fanlisting Heh – after the Stargate episode “Heroes part 1” our intrepid Sgt Siler just might have himself a new nickname: either “Smoky the Sargeant” or “Little Guy.” Interesting fact: actor Dan Shea is also stunt coordinator for SG-1 – this makes perfect sense given the large number of on-camera stunts he’s done for the show. Must check out “thefanlistings.org” later, too.

Whoa – Mythbusters is hiring! Note: A weekly salary commensurate with the position will be paid to the successful applicant during shoot periods. You mean… you get to do all that and get PAID, too? The only episode I’ve seen so far is the “Chicken Gun/Killer Washer” one, and already I’m hooked. Surely I know someone who could apply for this job. Wait… via Highlander fandom, I probably do.

Well, this is a bit disappointing – according to an interview with BBC News World Edition, Patrick Stewart’s a bit of a “wet blanket” about space travel. (via ***Dave Does the Blog) He and others raise a valid point – “let’s solve the problems of this world first before venturing away from it” – but still it’s hard to hear this commentary coming from the man that inspired the newsgroup alt.sexy.bald.captains “I would like to see us get this place right first before we have the arrogance to put significantly flawed civilisations out on to other planets – even though…
