Cyborg space whale with severe barnacle issues pursues 70s ray gun through space.

 

Not with that texture, I'd hope.

Or shape, for that matter.

 

I've heard of The Test of Wills. I take it from your use of the word "attempt" that it's not very good?

 

Pfft. If we are going to test based on Rebel Fleet images, we need to make sure we use the best ones. The classics.

If you are a Babylon 5 fan, read The Dilgar War

 

I'll keep that in mind when I watch the series.

Skimmed through a few of those, and read "The First Refusal", and really like what I see. That had always been my fanon interpretation of Thrawn's refusals, as well. Any other Star Wars fanfic of particular note? I think I'd generally prefer stuff that could conceivably be canon, rather than "what if Han Solo and Darth Maul teamed up for a buddy comedy" type of stories.

 

I finally read Dark Empire Trilogy.

In other news: Next Game of Thrones episode in 42 weeks. Waru darn it.

 

Curses!

 

Community episode- rather blah, continuing with the damage to Annie's character and yet more unfunny sexual harassment jokes. I can take Jeff/Annie not progressing, and while Jeff/Britta being shoved down out throats would be horrible, it's the casual joking about stalking and harassment that is really annoying me about this season.

 

...are we watching the same show?

 

I assume so. Community, season 4? Granted, Jeff/Britta was not reall a part of this episode, but it did seem pretty heavy in Herstory of Dance. And the harassment jokes have gone from more than just a flanderized Dean's obsession with Jeff to affecting both Jeff and Annie's characters in an extremely negative way.

 

What did the Dean jokes have to do with Annie?

And I mean, look, I guess a conversation could be had about the humor in the Dean/Jeff thing, but Jeff/Annie is not happening. If your enjoyment of an episode is tied to that, you might as well get out now.

 

So no biggie

I need to find the paper on Italian-Latin bilingualism suggested by my capstone prof, as it apparently pertains directly to my topic.

 

Jello, do you mind? We're talking about TV right now.

 

Yes, but theirs doesn't involve wet t-shirt contests, and is therefore more realistic.

 

Remember what Hav said - only if there are pictures.

 

Make sure to include some sort of Monocle Cat so we can properly understand the dire situation.
