Friday Frapp-Fueled Link-o-rama
In celebration of all weekendish activities...
You can catch a previw of David Gray's upcoming album in a full-length concert on the NPR site. It's great music to finish the week up with... the 3rd song is particularly good (Please Forgive Me, from White Ladder), and the encore is good as usual. No "Babylon" though. Sad.
Been missing the Friday night new Battlestar Galacticas? For shame! Here's a few good sites, including reviews and spoilers of not just BSG but Star Trek, Farscape, Firefly, and a few other scifi faves.
Anyway, in the episode, "Video Airlines," Garfield and Jon turn on the TV only to find that "Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage" is on nearly every channel (featuring the line "You! You're not Silvia! You're one of the Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage!"). The video store has plenty of copies of... "You! You're not Silvia! You're one of the Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage... TWO!!!", also available in Spanish, "Tu! Tu no eres Sylvia! Tu eres una de las criaturas de Kung Fu en rampaje - DOS!" That still cracks me up.
They head to the movies, walking miles and miles to find their theatre in the cineplex, only to sit down to "You! You're not Silvia! You're one of the Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage... THREE!!!"
And let's not forget the similarly classic episode, "The Bunny Rabbits Is Coming!"
Another great TV show... Due South. Alliance is finally releasing the last season on DVD in September, and Paul Gross' dad (Bob) is making signed copies available at his book store's site, Badlands Books. You should get your copy there because, a) it's signed, b) there's a lot of cool dinosaur books on there too that Paul's mom wrote, and c) Bob's a nice guy. If you can't get to the site (sometimes it's down), email him and request the DVDs.

Star Trek Hypertext - Jammer's Reviews (great graphics), includes all the ST series (including TOS) and movies, BSG, and Andromeda (not that anyone is looking for those reviews)
Sad Geezer's Guide to SciFi TV - pretty much every scifi tv show summarized and reviewed, including transcripts (the link is to BSG)And, of course, don't forget Television Without Pity. If you do, they'll cry.
Speaking of favorite TV shows, one of the best cartoons had to be Garfield and Friends, with my favorite episode ever now out Season Two, available at Amazon.com. They're working on getting all seven seasons of the show out. Seven!Anyway, in the episode, "Video Airlines," Garfield and Jon turn on the TV only to find that "Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage" is on nearly every channel (featuring the line "You!
