whedonesque has a discussion of it here.

The celebrities that will be on the newest season of Dancing With The Stars have been announced. You can read who they are here.
Sony has commissioned scripts for Spider-Man 5 and 6, despite not having one finished yet for Spider-Man 4.
The Syfy Channel is aware of its own ridiculousness, says Io9.
In other news, today is my birthday. I went with Mom and Dad to the restaurant that I occasionally like to go to—we’ve been going there for over 10 years, and it’s nice. We did that today, and I was in the middle of drinking some iced tea after a refill and I saw…something in my glass, near my straw. At first I thought it was a weird reflection on the ice, and eventually pulled it out.
I hope people can see where this is going.
Not ice--it was a bug. No, not a roach or a fly--it was long and brown, and it had wings. Cue me fleeing to the bathroom to scrub, while Mom got the waitress. The waitress (not the usual one we get, since she had the day off for once) got the manager.
She knows us, since we’ve been going there so long. A whole lot of apologies and double our money back (given to me after it was given to Dad, since it was in my drink) later, and the manager said a company had come in to spray for bugs yesterday. It’s what they always do once a month as a precaution, and they’ve never seen anything before now. Apparently, one thing was missed (or it got in the building at some point) and fell in my drink and died when nobody was looking--since my drink was the first poured that day. They’re going to bring that guy in to check the place top to bottom again, just in case.
Meanwhile, someone had (somehow) stolen the soap dispenser. They were having it replaced as I went to the bathroom to wash my hands.
