Still watching Battlestar Galactica: a favorite character has gone out an airlock and religious wars seem to be starting up... Also saw the first of the new Torchwood (the second installment comes on tonight). Started watching season three of True Blood - still entertaining. Obviously my taste runs toward imaginative fare like science fiction and fantasy.
And I watched a very interesting documentary on Disney animation from about 1984-94 called Waking Sleeping Beauty. It's about the films, of course, Disney's second flowering - The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King - but even more about the management and egos and managing or ill-managing those egos. Fascinating. The film probably ought to be required watching for anyone trying to run a creative business.

Here's a nice discussion of Disney, copyright, fair use, and similar at Professor Damien's Public Domain Treasure Chest.)
