Update

[lonetread]

So, the next two episodes of QL were way better than that first one. Glam-rock!Sam was made of lulz ("sticking my tongue out at them will make them stop ripping off my clothes?" "no, it'll make them start ripping off their clothes."), as was bounty-hunter!Sam. But, damn, I'm gonna have to tape or torrent the next one. Being-executed!Sam? Not good. Must see. o_O

I watched "Patient X"/"The Red and the Black" the other day, too. Boy, was I overwhelmed. All of a sudden, every plotline from every mytharc episode prior came zooming together into this one set and I was just, "bzuh?". Probably should have rewatched "Tunguska"/"Terma" beforehand, but there was no way I could have known that. Definitely the one huge problem with XF: no previouslies. I have a hard time even telling when I've come in in the middle of a two-parter (did that with "Nisei"/"731"; watched through the "731" teaser before I figured it out and went back). And come to think, I still haven't watched "Biogenesis". That was part 1 of the "Sixth Extinction I/II" three-parter, right? Who knew. Not me. "Sixth Extinction" owned, anyway, though.

And finally, I have links. 
Retriever Adopts Tiger Cubs at Zoo. The picture is bizarrely hilarious. Also amused by the pic of "Princess Chunk". Heh.
Name Change Cases. There's a line between "creative" and "no, dude, don't. really. please." I only wish I'd saved the article about the awful names parents tried to give their children (e.g. "Violence", "Yeah Detroit", and my favorite, "Number 16 Bus Shelter"). Makes "Dixon and Willoughby" look downright normal.

Oh, and 'Fringe' Pilot Leaks Before Premiere. X-Files rehash or not, I'm interested.

ETA: Downloading Fringe and season 3 of QL. Hooray for seeds.
