Assd. Stuff

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! *squees and runs in circles* I thought George was a one-off guest star! Claude! Bad guy being seduced to the mutant side of the force! Claude! Baby Hiro! CLLLLAAAAAAUUUUUUDE!

What I love, love, love about this show is how they answer questions - they even *tell* you which questions they're going to answer - and then they open up five more cans o' worms. What makes the mutants (for lack of better verbiage, I'm slipping into X-Men terminology) work willingly with the company? Does George know? Who was Claude protecting?

And damn, that "I think you're better than tha-" *BLAM!* scene got me right in the gut. I'm with M: how did he *survive* that?

In short, Heroes rocks more than a geology college in a quarry.

And yet more musings on my stuff, complete with a "I think I know what I'm going to do, but it helps to have validation" poll.

I'm setting up new shelves for my DVD/VHS collection, and as I move things, I'm culling out old VHS tapes that will be donated to the library where I grew up. Now, some things are easy to dump, because I have them on DVD. It's the ones I don't that I wonder whether I should keep or not. (Bear in mind that things set aside for the library won't actually be delivered until around Christmastime, so I can always fish something out if I really need it.)

[Poll #936225]

We will return to our regularly scheduled Who squee soonish. If nothing else, one of the new shelves has become a "fandom du jour" shrine with all the videos and tie-in books. V. handy to have them all at once; I'm thinking to see if the DWMs will fit somewhere there as well.

I've just bought a new dvd cabinet that'll take 120 dvds - so that's one boxful sorted! As soon as I get a DVD version of something that I've got on commercial tape, I dump the commercial version. That leaves the stuff that I taped off-air - some of which is now available on dvd, but the off-air tapes usually have bits and pieces (sometimes even adverts) that I'd like to keep. This is going to mean going through all the tapes in turn, copying off the stuff I want to keep onto disc and then making the decision on whether to dump the 'original'. Fortunately I have a card index of everything on tape - so in theory I can put the 'bits' (things like odd horse races and one-off TV shows that aren't going to be released commercially or repeated) onto disc - but it's going to be a long and complicated job...

Or you could follow the 'if I haven't re-watched it in a year it may as well be thrown out' principle...

It's going to take a couple of years to go through the home-taped stuff. Which is probably going to make me dump much of it on principle, actually...
