From elisi: How to help Japan. The news get worse and worse...

Being Human:

One of my favourite finale reviews, because of the emphasis on the female characters.

Mitchell-centric meta, also an excellent post.

Remix Ficathon: is back, and you can read all about it and sign up here.

BSG cast union: happens, for some of the actors at least, in Ron Moore's new series 17th Precinct which has started shooting and seems to be basically be a crossover between a police show and Harry Potter, i.e. a detective story set in a world where everyone has magic. Tricia Helfer posted a photo of herself, James Callis and Jamie Bamber in their new roles here. Am amused RDM cast her with black long hair this time but lets the boys basically remain as they were.

Oh, and of course: the Ides of March!

I'm glad for the links on "How to help Japan" but I wish the publication hadn't used that symbolism of the red roundel on the flag displaying fault-lines; apart from the geological lack of tact, as a nation, Japan has got enough to cope with and are doing so better than anyone could reasonably be expected to cope, so I think symbolism showing a national symbol crumbling when in fact national cohesion and grace under pressure is what is coming out of this disaster; whatever the outcome, they have to take pride in how they have appeared on the world stage under these unimaginable pressures.

You're entirely right about the symbolism, but it was the most useful collection of links I've come across, hence the linking.

Oh, I agree; it was more a "why don't layout artists think?" grump.
