The original V was based on a book by a socialist sexed up with aliens.

The original V series was pretty great; very good special fx for a tv show of the time (not counting lizard baby). The second series sucked monkey balls.

Keri Russell. Felicity. :wub:
Kerri Russell is one of those women who I think is extremely beautiful, yet do not find even remotely HOTT for some reason. I feel the same way about Catherine Zeta-Jones.
I know y'all are gonna say it's because she has small tits, but I don't think that's actually the reason...

There is something about the Kaylee character that is extremely HOTT, but I've never understood what it is. I know a bunch of other Languishites, as well as RL friends, feel the exact same way. There is little about Jewel Staite that would normally make her attractive in my eyes, so I think it's something about the character's attributes, or maybe something about her voice or something else more subliminal.

My guess is that the average internet nerd could more relate to a natural acting tech girl than to a high society hetaera. It's way less intimidating.

Agree, I don't really think I'd have much in common with a high class courtesan, while I know from experience that I have much incommon with "a natural acting tech girl". You make a wise point.
Yeah, maybe that's it. Her character was certainly unusual for a Hollywood role.
Also, Inara was a largely emotionless dress up doll, while Kaylee was a character visibly having fun.
Sounds like a nice show :)

I'm kind of interested in this show that ABC is going to put out as well.
http://www.slate.com/id/2218759/
QuoteFlash Forward. Rather than running a reel of clips from this classy-looking science-fiction show—the standard upfronts MO—ABC offered the full first act of its pilot. This was sensible; the show seems so dense and sprawling that a clip reel would only have been perplexing. The plot concerns the citizens of L.A. simultaneously experiencing a catastrophic disruption in the space-time continuum. Each Angeleno blacks out for a couple of minutes and comes to having witnessed a couple of minutes of his or her future. Watching it, I, too, was seized by a vision of things to come. It involved this potentially gripping show emerging as a public nuisance. If you have two Tylenol with codeine at hand, you might try imagining Lost as directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Nothing, of course. But Raz would have to venture out in the real world to learn this fact. As it is, his perceptions are based entirely on information he can glean from the internet, and nothing more.
...and for the record, I only have one report at this time (who happens to be a consultant), and produce quite a bit, so I don't think that qualifies me as 'middle management'. I think the stereotypical middle manager is someone who is in a position to pass all of their work off on underlings and produces nothing, which is the reason they are so often resented.

Yeah, right. Just like the Manhatten Project couldn't be kept a secret - because there were so many people involved.
Of all the things in the show, why pick that to bother you? Besides which, the show dealt constantly with the difficulty of secrecy, and eventually the project was made public.
