A genius thing of great...oh.

Now I know how all those people who didn't like Act III of Dr Horrible felt.

FONT CONFERENCE! Completely hilarious viral-type thingy about fonts, which managed to be a joke designed especially for pontisbright until...oh, I cannot even speak of it. But I suspect I shan't be alone in being utterly horrified by the ending? Please? Tis a bit like fandom, where you spend a little while going 'eee, other people who like what I like instead of finding it esoteric to the point of alarm!' and then you discover that otherwisecharming!Bob hates on Troughton. Does this mean there is font fandom? Helvetica/Felix Titling OTP 4EVA.

In other news, I apologise for my inexplicable downer on Blake's 7 S2. Have now resumed Space Panto = Glee mode, thanks to Shadow (little blobs of glass that walk! Cally inna box! Avon and Blake and Jenna in white looking so much like the Bee Gees it made me start singing at the telly!) and Weapon, which (despite the rubbishness of Trav 2: boo, I say, boo!) is bloody magnificent. The Lobster Suit was all I had heard and more. And Carnell...oh heavens...

Augh. Yes, I completely agree with you on the ending to that. FOUL!

Will watch the font thing later, but oh, yay Shadow. Vila's character is a bit rubbishi n that one, but I love all the same. The white shirts! The moondiscs! Bek and Hanna! Gan in his Renaissance tunic! Cally getting to do decent stuff for once! Jenna's silver boots! Avon's sentimental about money! Gan calling Orac's name! Vila hiding Orac so well that Avon doesn't even bother looking for it! Horribly dodging looking twin suns and illogical "There IS no night side" lines! etc. Yay!

And, oh Weapon. People bitch about it, but I adore it. I think it's an excellent episode despite Fail!Travis. Carnell is AMAZING and the lines are marvelous and BLAKE HAS A CLONE WHO WEARS THE SAME OUTFIT HE DOES and Rashel is entirely too posh for a bond slave and the Clone Makers have ridiculous costumes even for B7 and the Lobster Suit debuts and HE HAS MATCHING RED HEELS and Vila wears a very very sexy black shirt yay. I am so easy.

BAN COMIC SANS, DAMN IT.

And Space Panto FTW. (I still insist it isn't as panto as eighties Who, but nevermind. It becomes far crazier in S4.) AND I THOUGHT OF THE BEE GEES TOO.

Carnell is disturbing, yes. It probably doesn't help that Scott Fredericks is about ten times that evil/pervy in RL.

So funny! Then...COMIC SANS. *weeps*

OOh, OOh, wait until you see "When Special Effects Turn Bad" in Rescue. Steven Pacey cops a load right in the balls :D

......Don't ask me why I just remembered that.

They really went overboard with the robin hood look in S2. I always had mental images of Avon being a rather benign version of Alan Rickman's sheriff of nottingham.

Psst! I get all my hot font action from I Love Typography.

You may also approve of this...

I once watched a whole documentary about fonts, and there was an old guy who was a Font Expert and he was great. He was all tweedy and bearded and he told a font joke (two fonts walked into a bar, but the barman said "sorry, we don't serve your type in here") and he couldn't tell it for laughing at his own joke before the punchline. He was so happy.
