John and Kimberly, reunited at last!

Oh frabjous day! But oh no, now he's working for the Eeeevil Government! The Greys got him! We're all doooomed! Or, um, we were doomed back in the early sixties, but we got better? Hey, time travel! Time travel makes everything better.

( Translation- an utter lack of spoilers or analysis for last night's WaT inside. Seriously, nothing of substance here- thank goodness for Caroline and Alethia. So why bother even cutting it? Um, tax purposes. Yeah, that's it. And no, I won't apologize for the exclamation points. They were on sale. )

Weird that we'd get a new episode on a night when practically everything else was repeats, though. Speaking of which, I really like "A Night at the Movies" (and hey, Megan Ward was in that too! All hail Our Lady of the Pageboy!), but hasn't it already been on about 200 times? It seems like either that one, "Crash and Burn," or "Last Laugh" are on about every three weeks. Oh well, at least it's one I like.

Ford Prefect and Trillian on film! Er, wait...

See, now, this is why I'm in no hurry for them ever to film Good Omens. It's not that I doubt the abilities of either Mos Def or Zooey Deschanel. Quite the contrary, really. I think they're both rather talented. It's just that I could have sat here for a million, billion years naming actors I could see in Hitchhiker's Guide, and they would not have come to mind. Ever. So it's a good thing we won't see this before 2005. I think this will require some adjustment time.
