'Tis the season to be mistaken for a bounty hunter and shot dead by your best friend! Happy Gauda Prime Day, one and all!

And please extend a big Freedom Party welcome to sarannarandir, who has found her way to my LJ via a post I made about an article she published in Foundation all those years ago about the end of B7. The internet is a wonderful thing.

Oh, no, pantoimime is not silent at all. That's why it's so weird when USians latch on to the half-word that means something to them and assume it's classic mime like French mime artist Marcel Marceau. Serious noise, serious audience participation.

So you sit an American down and try and tell them that the principal boy is a woman in tights falling in love with another woman, and that the dame is a man in drag who will almost certainly try and strip to her frilly drawers at some point during the show... and right then and there they are thinking this is an X-rated entertainment for adults. But take them to see any panto and it doesn't take them long to get into, 'It's behind you!' and 'Oh no it isn't!'
