it seems that the Sci Fi Channel has decided not to pick up Farscape for a fifth season. if you don't like that, and want to do something about it that doesn't involve leaving your computer, try this Save Farscape website.

we here at TV Squid have received two hundred or so emails about it so far, many demanding or begging that we not cancel it. which we have nothing to do with, of course (except for those Big Cheeses who are members of the Stonecutters, i'd wager).

the cubical of the woman who goes through all that email is not too far from mine. she's been waving me over, "Look at this one!" and "You HAVE to see this!" truly, there are some morons out there.

if you want to save Farscape, write someone who can actually do something about it. don't email us. we're just laughing at you (and possibly putting you on a list of your email addresses to have some fun with, but i can't confirm that).

the Xbox Buffy game continues to receive good reveiws('Buffy' game is worth sinking your teeth into).

TrekWeb says the first season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine may be released as early as late February of next year. although there's been no official word on the release dates of the DS9 dvds, it's expected to be similiar to ST:TNG's All-Seven-Seasons-In-One-Year.

i know this is a (relatively) long way off and could change at any time between now and then, but according to the information we have, Toon Disney will be airing the entire Gargoyles series in large blocks from 3pm to midnight on October 28 through 30, with the final block on October 31 running from 3pm to 3am.

for anyone keeping track of such things, my Hotspam box is too overwhelming, averaging 150 piece of junk mail a day (i have good reason to keep the box. otherwise i'd abandon it like a litter of puppies). i'm changing it to the "exclusive" setting to allow only those on my contact list to get through (we'll see if that works. i upped the filter setting before and all of the junk mail started going to my inbox).

if you've been in regular contact with me, you'll be on the list. if not, all is not lost. you may still benefit from my juvenile sense of humor and incoherently incomplete thoughts wisdom by using the new address listed on the left sidebar.

you'll still be able to get regular Buffy-obsessed spewings and my Marc Blucas and Jeff Corwin lustings (egad! Marc and Jeff together! /drool) right here.

da Bossman just came over and gave me a "Buffy Lives" temporary tattoo. i'm a happy terrence. now i gotta think of the perfect time and place to wear it.

i rarely visit my own blog from home, but i did last night and noticed some... aesthetic issues in Netscape. if i was a more motivated person, i'd work on fixing it, but i'm not. sorry for the ugliness, folks.

start getting prepared now, folks. we only have three weeks until new season of Buffy! summer has flown by!

a tiny bit of Buffy comics news, accompanied by the cover art for Buffy #53, a really good rendering of Angel (head down, i think, to downplay the height of his hair and make sure it all fits on the cover).

(totally off-topic, i kept misspelling the word 'height' as 'heighth.' i knew it didn't look right, so i looked it up at dictionary.com. it seems that i keep trying to spell the word the way that i pronounce it. i've never noticed if others pronounce it differently. anyone care to dash off a quick note and let me know how they pronounce it?)

and some more grrr! from Dark Horizons:

Those wondering about the pseudo-cameo from 'Gambit' [in X2] can now find out more by checking out Stunts Canada where Banana Republic model-looking stuntman James Bamford has confirmed on his resume that he's scored the role. Thanks to 'Tyler Durden'.

some photos from the filming of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Max Ryan as Dante. grrrr!

i really want some boots like his (last pic).

Tim Burton to direct Batman: the Musical.

i'm sad. that probably means no plastic nipple-suits and no homoeroticism.


on a less homoerotic front, here's the new Romulan Warbird from Star Trek: Nemesis.

Buffy Casualties: Dead and Loving It! (may contain a casting spoiler).

this would be a better article if they'd gone through and listed every regular and guest star that had died over the course of the series. i'd like to know what Robia La Morte is up to.

commentary on "Real Me," "Fool For Love," "I Was Made to Love You," and "The Body."

see what's on the Region 2 Buffy season 5 DVDs that is being released in October and wish the British still ruled the world.

the company that owns my apartment building has decided to build a ramp from the handicapped-accessible parking to the building. it has taken a crew of six men four days to build the concrete ramp. during that time, they've had three equipment trucks, a trailor and a big monstrosity-machine taking up eight parking spaces, in addition to the four handicapped-accessible spaces and the two regular spaces bookending them that they've closed off.

speaking as someone whose father and grandfather were/are masons, carpenters, and worked extensively with concrete, and as someone who spent way too many summers in junior high and high school working on their crews, the ramp should have buildable by a one- or two-man crew, and it should have taken no more than two days to build it.

all this so i can bitch about having to park across the street last night because there were no parking spaces at my apartment.

samples from the "Once More, With Feeling" soundtrack, including the bonus tracks.

didn't think before clicking on the track from "The Gift." duh. it's the Buffy-death track. had to close the window quickly before i started sobbing.

i went into this thread knowing there'd be quotes and one-liners, but really, the first post takes it. no need to read beyond it.

Eliza Dushku is scheduled to appear on CBS' The Late Show With David Letterman tomorrow (Aug 27) night.

review of the Buffy Xbox game.

the boyfriend doesn't believe the Xbox will be around long, so he's resisting my demand to buy one. he says there aren't enough games available for it. i counter with 'But the Buffy game is the only one i'm gonna get anyway.' somehow, it's not convincing him.

The Parents Television Council rated UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer the worst show in prime time for graphic violence and sex and an element of the occult.

all reasons i watch the show.

“It appears that the networks are finally starting to listen to the collective voice of parents who want to sit down with their children and enjoy high quality, family-friendly programming in prime-time.”

to this i say, seek out the shows you wanna watch with your rugrats and stop expecting networks to show only what you want to see. hell, turn on PAX or Fox Family. they have networks for people like you.

and stop referring to any part of Prime Time as "Family Hour." if you're really so concerned about spending a quality hour with your children, i don't think that staring at the television is the way to go.

“The PTC’s Best/Worst rankings clearly show that the networks have a long way to go before parents can be assured that their children will not be bombarded with filth during prime-time”

kill your tv. or turn it off. or parent your children and keep an eye on their viewing habits.

by the way, 7th Heaven should not be considered good family programming. everytime i see more than five minutes of it, i fly into a near-murderous, ranting-at-the-television rage. if you don't want your children doing the same, demand that the show be cancelled before we end up with children gunning down their families.
