Sigh. As per last season, Sci-Fi is playing the ratings game and shelving the second half of Farscape‘s fourth season. So, after next week’s “summer finale,” there’ll be no more Crichtonisms until January of 2003. Bleah. At least it frees up my Fridays.

Hobbits and Vulcans.
I found this on Napster a long time ago, but had never seen the Ming Tea-like accompanying video. The one and only Leonard Nimoy (and the Nimoyettes?) sing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. (Via Monkeyfarts.)
The Real World: Gotham City.
Green Lantern fights gay-bashing. I don’t find the gay sidekick storyline half as shocking as the fact that they actually gave that whiny cat Judd from the third season of Real World an A-line comic.
Adaptable, Resourceful, Clueless.
I don’t normally blog quizzes, but this is Farscape, and I did get Crichton…so here ya go…What Farscape Character are you? (Via Quiddity.)
Crichton, Cartman, and the Coens.
As per usual, I’m not sure which link I most want to jack from Quiddity…Farpark (Gotta love South Park Scorpy), or news of Romance and Cigarettes, the Coen-produced, Turturro-written musical.(Thanks, Megg.)
Somewhere in Time.
By way of Lake Effect, Terry Gilliam’s sequel to Time Bandits is coming to television! (although someone else is directing.) And this was announced in May? The fanboy sites have been sleeping on this.
Goodbye, Sherilyn…
and HELLO Mia. Eighties beauty Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Legend) replaces Sherilyn Fenn on the new WB Batman spin-off, Birds of Prey.
Run Away!!
Showing their colors once again, Billy Tauzin and a gaggle of GOP lawmakers exhibit an irrational phobia of the HIV-positive muppet.
Off with his head.
BBC kills the Giles Doctor Who rumors mentioned here on Tuesday.
Sci-Fi Crossover.
Current rumor has it that Rupert Giles of Buffy (Anthony Stewart Head) will take on the mantle of Doctor Who for BBC next year. That’s pretty decent casting, I suppose…now can we get Sean Bean as The Master?
