Hello World!

'Star Wars: Episode II' debuts on DVD November 12, according to StarWars.com. I never picked up 'The Phantom Menace,' despite its impressive array of extras, but this will be a must-have for me. Alas, I don't have the willpower to wait until they release all six movies on DVD.

Several hours later: I just realised what I really wanted to link to today: The Very Secret Diaries of Dido and Aeneas. Pretty hilarious stuff. I wish my Latin assignments were this fun.

• Ryan & Dawson On Voyager Homecoming
  Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) and Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres) offered their thoughts on whether Voyager would return home. "We'll probably make it home, although I'm not a writer and I don't really know what they're planning to do," said Dawson, with Ryan adding "I'm not entirely convinced that [the writers] know yet!"
