Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain

unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things

So I just had a revelation: the reason Hardison put their mobile bases into food trucks was so that Eliot would be just as invested as he is in their survival. He got tired of losing a Lucille every season, so he gave Eliot a personal reason to care about them.

The only reason there are pyramids in Egypt

is because they are too heavy to be carried to the British Museum

Japanese-American taiko drumming brings a lot of the rhythms of jazz into the traditional Japanese art, so Benny Goodman + taiko is actually not that big of a stretch.

Still, this is pretty dang cool!

I’ve never seen fusion taiko before; that was amazing. And the fact that they were drumming and also dancing 40s Charleston at the same time was incredible.

That’s a nifty bit of art, and its concept is absolutely right and proper.

Without Lucille “I Love Lucy” Ball, it’s likely “Star Trek” would never have gone beyond its pilot.

More here.

She also created the concept of re-runs - over the objections of male execs who insisted that “nobody would want to watch the same show again”.

From re-runs came the concept of “syndication”, i.e. once there were enough episodes in a series (on average, 23) they and their potential for ad revenue could be sold to other network affiliates as a complete package. That’s now called a “season”, though story arcs that required the episodes to be shown in a proper order came much later (with “Hill Street Blues″, IIRC).

From re-runs and packages came - again in the face of objections from male execs who insisted that “they’ve already been paid once” - the concept of residuals, i.e. a sliding scale of additional payments made to everyone - actors, writers, crew - with credits in a show, when it was broadcast again.

Put very simply, Lucille Ball - who played a classic featherbrained ditz on-screen - was IRL a sharp-minded, forward-looking businesswoman responsible for TV series as we know them today.

Any binge-watching you’ve been able to do this past year is directly thanks to her.

The little Writer’s Guild cheque we got in December, comprising residuals from all over the world that went back to “Scooby-Doo”, “Transformers”, “Batman the Animated Series”, “Sword of Xanten”, “Star Trek The Next Generation” and a bunch of others, is thanks to her as well.

After so long the sliding-scale amount wasn’t much, but it was more than enough for our electricity bill and an order of groceries…

We love Lucy… :-)

I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it.

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.
