No, looks like the Anglicans do, indeed, call their clergy priests.

Also, though most Catholics are not aware, there are other non-protestant Christian churches, all of which predate the historical foundation of the Catholic church. That is, the adoption of Christianity as the State Religion of Rome.

These would be, among others, the Coptic Church, the Armenian Church, and the Jacobite Church. All of these have priests and bishops as well.

What about vicars? Where do they fit in?

As for Lost in Space... so many plot holes I can't even be bothered to explain them. In fact i think I need to watch it again just to remind myself how bad it is.

oh... my... god... they exported Lost in Space to other countries? It's a true wonder that we have -- erm, had -- any credibility left in the world even prior to the Shrub presidency.

Season one isn't so bad, but two and three are surreal in their awfulness. Have you seen 'The Great Vegetable Rebellion'???

*LOST IN SPACE SPOILER*
Like it matters, but anyway...

At that moment in the film when the spaceship is destroyed and (almost) everybody dies there was a brief silence. It was just a couple of seconds, but the whole theater was quite for long enough for me to to stand up and cheer.

When I sat back down a friend hit me. All in all I think I won.

Baron, you'd be surprised. We got all the Irwin Allen series down here. Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel, Voyage Beneath the Sea (some of these names may be off because I know them by their names in Portuguese), all of which I watched as a kid. We got just about every series that ever was on American television, from the Muppets to Dallas, except the Brady Bunch and Beaver.

Most of the stuff produced from the 90s onwards, like Buffy or Babylon V, is only available on cable though. And cable is still expensive - not horrendously expensive as it was a few years ago, but still expensive - so I don't have it.

Heh, if you had inserted some subliminal pro-American propaganda into those shows back then, you'd have taken over the world without even trying.

I was so disappointed by Lost in Space...

But then again, Wing Commander came pretty close...
