This month is all about GinormoCon prep. Hydrating, strategizing, t-shirt picking…outing. It’s like getting ready for a marathon. A marathon with Jawas.

I always need to have some kind of background noise on while I’m engaged in con prep, preferably a TV show I’ve seen 5 billion times and can recite from memory. Last night was Spaced. And while I’d gladly watch the whole fucking series from top to bottom (”Skip to the End” included), I kept it to three eps…three key moments in the Spacedverse.

S1, Ep1: “Beginnings”: Daisy and Tim meet for the first time and they meet HILARIOUSLY. Establishes all the characters excellently and contains that awesome mutant rat CG sequence.

S1, Ep5: “Chaos”: The gang hatches a Star Wars-themed scheme to retrieve their missing dog, Colin. “Is Chewie the princess?” “Yes.”

S2, Ep5: “Gone”: I’m pretty sure I can make this definitive statement: Best finger-guns battle ever captured on film. And some totally sweet Tim-Daisy stuff, which melts my cold, dead heart — or comes close to doing so, anyway.
