Comma,

I do not believe the Kennedys are victims of some occult curse. Here's a partial list (I've used 'Kennedy' to label relatives who might have other surnames, but are usually included in the count).

1. Joe Jr. dies when his bomber exploded during WW2.

2. JFK/RFK were both assassinated. Both had enemies.

3. Several Kennedys and related kin died in private airplane crashes. Private aircraft have ~ four times the crashes of commercial airlines.

4. At least one died of drug overdose, a not uncommon cause of death.

5. One died in a skiing accident. I believe he ran into a tree. Is this rare? Sonny Bono died the same way. How many skiers die skiing each year? How many die from running into objects?

6. Ted Kennedy died from cancer, but he was very old.


Other Bad Stuff

1. At least one Kennedy was mentally ill and institutionalized.

2. One Kennedy was tried for rape, but acquitted.

3. One Kennedy was tried for murder and convicted.

4. JFK & Jackie's youngest son died a couple days after birth. He was premature.


Excepting the assassinations, I don't see any of these as unusual. I suspect if one tracked any large, extended family over several generations, then one would find a number of tragedies.

Christopher Marlowe,

By my count, this week is The I in Team, but I've no yet posted on last weeks A New Man (though I did rewatch it *g*).


Leather Jacket,

I noted Riley's reasoning, because you responded to my original statement by examining Riley's questionable behavior with respect to his and Buffy's relationship. However, my original comment, ~~ Riley was right ~~ referenced one line in Doomed. It's where he tells Buffy, that evil will always be with us and it's best if we fight together and not alone.

Do you disagree with this thought?


As I remembered Shadow, one of the characters said something about how animals, properly doused with magick, could see hidden things, e.g. the key. I could not remember if it was Glory, a minion, Giles or Anya. Unfortunately, I could not find such said in skimming the shooting script.


How do you think the writers are 'slipping' in Once Upon a Time?

Comma : I think some focus on the bad things that have happened to the Kennedys, ignoring the good. I also think that some of the Kennedys have lived in such a way as to have stacked the odds against themselves. Then again, the patriarch (Joe Sr) apparently earned his living through ... questionable means.

wolfguard : That big snake was kind of a special case. IIRC, it wasn't a demon; I think it was ... crafted. And it was spelled to seek out the key wherever it might be hiding.

As to Riley, all along he was saying and showing he understood. He didn't. Chalk that one up against him, too. And if he needed to be needed, there are a lot better ways to be needed than risking infection by visiting hookers vampires. What? He's never heard of a soup kitchen?

wolfguard : I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mad Hatter's name (Jefferson) was a tribute to Jefferson Airplane/Starship. But I do think the writers are slipping. Both Jefferson and Regina have the same names in both places. OTOH, both Jefferson and Regina know about both places. OTOOH, Rumplestilskin's name is not the same in both.//
Not that I think we need spoiler code for Once Upon a Time episodes that aired in March, but since that's as far as I've gotten so far...

Christopher Marlowe : Wild-guess time: The Watchers Council presents itself to the United Nations as world services organization (The International Society of Nocturnal Public Safety Officers ... okay, not much of an anagram) and charges the international community some kind of fee for its public service.
Prior to WWII, your guess is as good as mine.

YayOfTheDay Angel Wednesday Memorial deadguy Question : Not sure how they would cast Dancing with the Stars: Angel Edition, since none of the characters on Angel could be considered stars, but on talent, Lorne would be the favorite. But if Lindsey were competing, he could carry the bad-boy-fan vote.

Trivia Girl : Gwen had the power to seduce Angel away from his true love, Lindsey.

Lurking Hereabouts


ETA Christopher Marlowe,

I believe the Watcher's Council evolved centuries after the Shadowmens, so I'll answer your question in that light.

The Council had to have had a worldview that went beyond a village horizon or an empire's march. Only two preindustrial organizational-types possessed such a view, merchant-traders and some religious folks.

Both such groups would have members who were literate, numerate and multilingual. Both could tap resource streams and overtime build income streams from investments. The pre-2003 Council likely were financed by such investments and might well have had an income-generating business arm.


I define 'Watcher' as a Council member who works in the field doing both research and surveillance on vampires, demons and other forces of darkness. I imagine they earn $45-68k/year depending on experience and station.

I've coined the phrase, 'Prime Watcher' for the watcher responsible for the Slayer. The PM earns between $60-75k, again depending on experience (One would think the most experienced watcher would be assigned the slayer, but other factors might come into play in selecting the PM).

Leather Jacket,

The big snake in Shadow could see the Key.


ETA

Riley tells Buffy the reason he let vampires drink his blood was because they needed him - and she did not (see Into the Woods). The discerning fan, *g*, could see this was brewin' in Riley from early 5th season, most noticeably in Shadow. I can still remember the final scene of the episode. It's outside Joyce's hospital room. Joyce had asked to see Dawn alone, so Buffy had stepped into the hallway. Riley tells her he is there for her if/when she needs him - and then Joyce calls for Buffy to join her and Dawn. Buffy turns from Riley and renters the room, shutting the door behind her. The angle is from Riley's POV, watching Buffy go and the door closing between them.

I was so certain of the meaning of that final shot, that I checked the shooting script at Buffyworld. And here it is ....


RILEY
Come here.
She lets him pull her into his arms. She looks as though she's finally going to let down. Grateful for his touch.

RILEY
It's okay... You need to let it out. I'm
right here.

But Buffy pauses. Wanting to let go - but not daring.

BUFFY
I can't. Not now. They need me, you know?
She steps back, gently pushing him away.

BUFFY
If I start now, I won't be able to stop.

They stand apart for a moment. Riley wanting to comfort. Wanting her to let him in. Then-

JOYCE (O.S.)
(calling)
Buffy...

Buffy looks at Riley. He nods his understanding. She takes his hand, squeezes it, then moves toward the door.

REVERSE ANGLE as she takes a breath and enters, never looking back.
Riley watches as the door closes behind her and he's left, standing there in the hallway,alone.

BLACK OUT

Emphasis added




Jumping to Once Upon a Time

The Mad Hatter's name in Storybrooke is 'Jefferson.' Possibly because the 60s song, White Rabbit, was peformed by The Jefferson Airplane.

Christopher Marlowe, wolfguard : More on Once Upon a Time (Hat Trick) : It struck me this morning. The people in the know are Regina, who's magical; Rumplestilskin, who's magical; Henry, who's a child, and the Hatter, who's nuts! Compare that to season 5 of Buffy, when crazy people could see that Dawn was the Key. I think there was something else that could see that Dawn was the Key, but I can't remember now.//

YayOfTheDay Buffy Tuesday Memorial deadguy Question : I'm torn. I've always loved the vampire kill in NKABOTFD, where Buffy has to work so hard to dispatch Pork n Beans at the mortuary. Then there's Glory; they had to really work at that one. Unfortunately, they didn't kill Glory. They killed the almost-innocent-but-not-quite Ben, which casts a stain on that kill, especially since Giles knew that Buffy wouldn't kill Ben because it's wrong.

Trivia Girl Wesley. And it wasnt fair! *stomp*

Congratulations, Agent Cooper!

ShadowQuest Well, I had the consonance (or is it just alliteration?) with "beautiful blonde brides" so I figured it might be fun to extend it thru the whole post.
My little wordplays often get missed as easily as my jokes. In one conversation I called soemthing a "segmeficant signant" and figured it would be an obvious spoonerism thing but the folks I was talking to just did a "What?"

Christopher Marlowe Sarah's Carl Like I said, the Ringer property itself seems ideal for a couple TV-movies, and those might get the numbers.

Zoom back through the other way

DaddyCatALSO Yes, that's what I meant. I got a definite Prince William vibe from that top photo.

Graham Greene is an Oneida native from Canada.

Any particular reason you went to the bees with your Tweet?

Sarah's Carl That's what I assumed - it was the scene where she's crying after Siobhan "drowned," so I figured it was "sorry about your show being cancelled, congrats on the new baby" kind of thing.

I'm usually watching "Big Bang Theory" so I don't get to see ET much, except "in transit" when I'm waiting for something else to start, like last night.

Christopher Marlowe Got energy assistance, applied for "food share" (food stamps) and talked to the store owner @Culver's today. Sounds like she might hire me - she said she needs "a couple people" and she'd let me know in a couple days.

Also talked to a guy @Menard's about his horses. I'd gone in w/my resume in a folder w/a white Arab on it, and the guy commented on the folder. Turns out he lives in Elcho & raises Thoroughbreds! He gave me his work card w/his home cell - sounded kind of like he wanted me to come out & help them on the farm. I'm a bit confused, but I'll call in a couple days & see what that's all about.

Brief break, then out to finish priming the house. Got another gallon of primer today, and a few more color chips for trim. Some creamy colors and light greys. I got one called Bronzed Ivy that's a really deep green; I might like that for the shutters, possibly the fence. We'll see.

Oh yeah - gotta start work on my Green Man...

Maverick well, as far as I known Gra ham Greene *is* an Indian, so....

ShadowQuest If by "royal vibe" you mean he looks abit like some of the British royals, yes, alhto I'dn't've looked for it if you'dn't said anything.

Hmm, I can fit @juliebenz.@mercedesmcnab.best.bwishes.bto.b2.beautiful.blonde.brides!.(bsorry.bcouldn't.bresist) into a Tweet if I'm so inclined.

I'm guessing it was a report on _Ringer_'s cancellation

Photos from Mercedes McNab's wedding.

Anyone else get a Royal vibe off the groom in that first shot?

Agent Cooper Congratulations! I love when Bronzers have good news to share with this community.

On a related note, Simon Helberg (Moist in Dr. Horrible, Howard Wolowitz on BBT) and his wife just had a baby girl, named Adeline. There's a nice, old-fashioned name you don't hear often.

I was recently lamenting the slow disappearance of classic names like Veronica & Alexander; one of the sites I frequent has ugly tattoos, and the one in question was of two "babies" (Or glow-worms) on clouds, with the names Tiara and Nevaeh underneath.

YAY Lady Samantha

Trivia Girl The Annointed One, the Master's Great warrior, i.e. Collin, played by Andrew J. Ferchland.

deadguy QOD what is the best slaying of a vampire/demon on Buffy?
1. Buffy Throwing the Master through the skylight onto the broken table and having him slowly turn to dust leaving only his bones (which has happened to no other vampire during the rest of both series).
2. Skewering Angel and sending him to hell with Acathla was amazing.
3. Blowing up the Mayor was pretty spectacular!
4. the fight with Adam as the Uber-Slayer, and pulling out his power core was delicious.
5. Bizarro Buffy being killed by the Master (wrong person killed)
6. can't use Glory/Ben, she was a god and he was human.
7. None of the others are really good enough

I'm going with #1, Buffy vs. The Master, round 2.

Agent Cooper Congrats!! Now we know what you have been up to instead of watching The Great Re-Watch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer :)

deadguy qod-
Best vampire kill: I'm gonna go with Buffy killing the minion vamp in The Magic
Box in the episode Tabula Rasa, even though she didn't know who she was.

Vampire I wish Buffy hadn't killed: Holden Webster.

Best demon kill: The Gentlemen-those guys gave me the creeps.

Best fight scene: tie--Buffy/Faith, because it was epic. Xander/Harmony, because
that will never not be funny.

ps-Awhile back, I did a best fight poll on my LJ. The winners were:
Buffy vs. Angelus in "Becoming pt.2" and Angel vs Spike in "Destiny".

lostinamerica : Idunno. The deer dug up my newly planted flowers --- back when I did such a thing --- and I didn't hold it against them.

wolfguard : It's been a while. What I recall is that Riley was dissatisfied with a lack of communication between himself and Buffy.
I also don't much care why he made a wrong choice. It was wrong, and he made it over and over again.

Grrrr. It seems On Demand has decided not to put the most recent (last?) episode of The Finder on. I guess there's the DVD release.

Christopher Marlowe, wolfguard : I'm only up to the Hat Trick episode of Once Upon a Time, but other than the annoying tendency of good guys doing bad things, I really enjoy the show. Also, Mad Hatter is a H*TTIE! ... But the way he dresses? Don't even try to tell me that guy's straight.

Christopher Marlowe,

Insider joke for math nerds. *g*

Have you ever heard of the Sports Illustrated curse? If an athlete is put on the cover because of their performance, then it's said their near future performance will often decline.

The cause is variance of performance. One usually makes the cover, because of superior performance. The athelete is performing at the top of his or her game.

However, if there's a top of your game, then there's bottom of your game and everywhere in between. So, the acclaimed athelete performance is more likely to decline towards his average peformance than to remain at the peak. The statistical phrase for returning to the average is regressing to the mean.


ETA Applied to Joss. He directed and co-wrote a film that has broken box office records. It's unlikely he'll be able to do it a second time (but not highly unlikely, just unlikely *g*).

Barkeep! Your strongest drink, please.

I'm back among the unemployed. My boss actually called me this afternoon to tell me she was taking me off the schedule. No warning, no "you need to work on this to get better," nothing. Just...gone. Said I wasn't "working out" and she was sorry.

scoffs Sure. That's why she called instead of saying anything to me in person.

First time in four years I've been without a job.

Sigh.

Even this really weird episode of "Police Story" with William Shatner & Dean Stockwell isn't doing anything for me. Off to shower, since I have an appointment @9 in the morning for energy assistance. And most likely food stamps, too. Then I'll try to find another job, and drop off my uniform smocks so I can get my last paycheck.

The human eye can distinguish between 7 million colors. A lot of them have names but most are designated by a hexadecimal number system. I have to check but I believe there are about 40 million wavelengths we call colors that the human eye can see, but the differences between them are too subtle for us to distinguish between them. Basically we just hit the highlights.

Trivia Girl In some translations, the pale horse is ridden by Pestilence, but the standard translation is Death.

DaddyCatALSO I've never heard of it, so had to look it up. I guess a silvery-white dress could be called rhodium, although that's kind of silly.

Then again...better than aluminum.

Rhodium is also apparently a dressage stallion, although he is not silvery-white.
