Remix IV is live.

One of my Firefly stories was remixed: Still Flying, Still Breathing (the Pennyroyal Tea Remix), and it is absolutely everything I could have asked for. It's so very Mal, Mal and every one of his wars. The language is lovely and there is such a sense of place and time.

To whomever wrote it: Thank you.



In other news: I hear scuttlebutt (foenix) that SFX is going to be dropping one of the later episodes of Dr Who due to homoerotic overtones. This leaves me with one burning question -- Did they not watch the second half of the season before purchasing the rights? Possibly, the execs viewed the first few eps, and then went "I hear this Jack fellow they brought on turned out to be rather popular."

Being as the Jack episodes are the last five of the series and involve two two-part episodes, this could be potentially problematic. The part of me that is very mean thinks it would be rather amusing if they dropped "The Parting of the Ways" and segued straight into "The Christmas Invasion."

"What the -- Weren't they -- Where are the -- Why is David Tennant on my television screen?"

That's just pathetic. I mean, really. Dropping any of them means that the season won't make sense.

(And my copy of the last three eps won't play. I'm very sad...)

It would seem to create an insane amount of logistical issues. If it's true, I just don't see how they could swing it and still have a coherent narative. I'm told they've been editing eps aired in the states, though.


(Aww, they won't? If you tried www.isohunt.com they'd probably have torrents, now that you're on high-speed. The last three eps are amongst my favourites -- Boom Town especially.)

Ack. They did that with Farscape and Smallville here, because they were too violent and then, all of a sudden, the stories made no sense at all.
