How to waste time

[janedavitt]

With the English language being so rich and all, it's strange that if you look up the definition of 'procrastinator', 'butterfly' and 'unmotivated' they all say 'Jane' after them.

Got a million and one things to do, some even fun things, and I just dropped them all and made a table of every Sentinel episode title with the writer and director attached to see if I could identify any trends (slashiest writer, suckiest writer, writer we can thank for iconic moments...)


As ever, with a project like this, the place I started was Becky's Transcript site. So grateful for that site.
