[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
By the time Farscape was front and center on my radar, I knew it was all but over, and I didn't need to fall in love with yet another show that was going to be canceled. I do think it is something I'd like to watch somewhere down the line, though.
I was a Farscape fan before I was a Buffy fan. It was my first online fandom, too.
Just another example of my failed show pimping to you Cindy. At least you've dipped your toe in Veronica Mars, but not in a dirty way you understand.
I shuold point out that ScorpyHarvey wasn't wearing the Hawaiian Shirt and Bunny Suit at the same time.
Unless the shirt was under the Bunny Suit.
Yes. He burnt his hands pretty badly, thanks to it, P-C. It magnifies the sun's effect.
When did this happen? I've never heard this crazy story.

You totally sold me on the show, UTTAD. But I'd had so many losses by that point, and knew I was in for some more. I'm pain averse. Scott and I do plan to buy the DVDs, someday. I think that we've now got all our Jossverse DVDs, Farscape is pretty high on our (totally unwritten) list.
And eww about the toe thing.
When did this happen? I've never heard this crazy story.I can't remember exactly, but it was within the last few years. I bet if you google "Joss Whedon lime burn hands" you'll find it.
Oh, or maybe not. Darn, I can't remember what he was making, either. If I could, I bet I could find it.
Looks like the story was told at Comic-Con 2001:
After running around the floor like chickens with our heads cut off we had to run back upstairs to get Joss Whedon and his bandaged hands, it turns out that he had spilled lime juice and then went out in the sun, ouch!
He didn’t drop any big information on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he did warn us about getting lime juice on your hands before laying out in the sun. Word of advice: don’t do it.
I wasn't really aware of the fandom in 2001, so the lime juice anecdote never reached me.

One Pimp Cup for me!
"Yes. He burnt his hands pretty badly, thanks to it, P-C. It magnifies the sun's effect."
Oh come on, now you're just making things up!
(just kidding - I just couldn't believe lime juice causes sunburns!)
Hey, apparently Lost broke records with it's season premiere. That's got to be good for Lost and for any spaceship movie that aired a trailer during the show, right?
Things about the premiere I have learned from Cleolinda's recap:
Great. So she's whipping around in terror and then she sees--WALT. Walt who was, you know, carried off by the Others at sea. And he's just standing there, dripping. He lifts a finger to his lips and I think he says "Shhhh," but then we get a closeup of his face and there's something clogging his throat and I don't know what he says to her, because they seem to be running his voice backwards, I'm not sure. (Wait, wait, breaking news: "Push the button. No/The button's bad.")
Someone (not Cleolinda) played what Walt said, backwards, and it was apparently the button thing. I assume the button refers to the "Execute" button on the computer in the Hatch's IT department that Jack was about to push before Locke popped out and said "Don't do it, and by the way, there's a creepy, vaguely sinister guy with an unidentifiable accent and a syphillitic pallor who's POINTING A GUN AT ME."
Flashjack to Captain Hero Dr. Shephard's office, where he's meeting with Sarah's fiancé, Kevin. Kevin is, by the way, the worst fiancé ever. "She was goin' to some fitting... looking at tablecloths," he mutters. (Five bucks says Sarah was at a Sabrina Carlisle emporium, by the way.)
Boone's mom, right?
