I kept meaning to blog this one yesterday, but forgot until I saw it turn up again on Whedonesque this morning: Ficlets interviews Jennifer Ouellette, author of The Physics of the Buffyverse (affiliate link). Because why simply suspend your disbelief when you can fill an entire book with science wank that makes it all seem plausible?
My husband is a bit of a science geek, and we've had plenty of discussions about how stuff works in the Buffyverse, usually ending with me declaring in frustration, "It's magic, okay? Let it go!" I think we need this book.
Someday soon Big Brother will start and give me something to talk about besides Buffy.
Actually... my mom has been TiVoing Traveller and telling me that I absolutely need to watch it. I think by now there are about five or six hours' worth of it saved up. Anybody been following this show? Is my mom right, and is it worth a big chunk of my Saturday morning?

I watched the first episode and was very disappointed in the quality of the acting. Grant you, first episodes are generally not the best things to base your like or dislike on.
I did watch bits and pieces of other episodes - last night I decided I'd sooner do dishes than watch.
However, it may be good for promoting familial harmony. And you may find something more redeeming in it than I did.
Heh. I just came from a meeting where, coincidentally enough, some of my coworkers were going on about how great it is and telling me I need to watch it. I'm not sure how close their tastes run to mine, but I guess I'll give it a try. It's not like there's anything else on TV right now.
That book may be a decent read. I will have to look into getting it.
