I the general chaos of last week, I forgot to mention the evidence that my RL friends are awesome. Two of them got me an unbirthday present of Brimstone on CD. Downloaded yes, but given that they haven't given it a DVD release, entirely justifiable to my mind.

The question is this - in the UK, if you say a doctor is from or has his surgery on Harley Street, it automatically means he's posh, renouned and generally v. good and is raking money in. Is there a similar thing in the US? A very prestigeous uni for doing medicine at will do at a pinch.

I wish to second Twig's vote for Brimstone, made even worse by 1) cancelling it just as it got interesting and 2) the existance of Reaper, a series which badly uses the same motifs. I miss Zeke Stone.

I would like to nominate Strange (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312209/), a show so well written that at various points it convinced spoilers )

Also the Dubik and the Banshee episodes, they were wonderfully creepy.

Damn it, BBC, you promised us a second series.

Firefly at least got a film and the comics, even if it's being drawn by the same people who draw the Buffy and Angel comics who have all the artistic abilities of highly evolved worms. Yes, I really do hate the art style in those comics that much.

I've finally figured out why I don't like Reaper as much as I should.

I PREFERRED THIS SHOW WHEN IT WAS CALLED BRIMSTONE AND WASN'T ABOUT TWENTYSOMETHINGS LIKE EVERY OTHER TV SHOW OUT THERE

Sorry, but every time I watch it I go, I think I've seen this scene in Brimstone, only done better. The only thing they've not stolen is the daemon rebellion and you never know if Ashteroth was going to go there eventually.

I live. However my attempt to post one fic a week does not, my slightly unreal life at uni keeps interfering.

On an equally fannish note for those who are equally pining after Brimstone, there's a great pairing essay up at ship_manifesto about Zeke Stone/Devil, but it's got a lot of other bits about the series, and wah! I miss it so.

(For those that don't know Brimstone is the greatest series never to have been given a second season, and yes, I'm including Firefly in that.)

So now to go write e-mails I've been meaning to write since summer - damn I'm unreliable.
