I love that a Doctor Who production team sat down and worked out what all the sixties pop art on a dalek actually does.

Was the curly haired power exec/model on stargate at some point?

Yes. She played Daniel's old girlfriend, Sarah, who got snaked by Osiris.

I take it any discussion of Dr. Who is to be whitefonted for the benefit of those USAIAN unfortunate enough not to get CBC?

Of four episodes so far, two have featured beautiful fems who sacrifice themselves to save the ship/the universe. A bit of damseling going on; you can't get away with damseling the companion, but the character of the week ...

Also I do like that the doctors screwups actually get people killed; in the old days his major fuckups tended to mostly turn out OK. Having them does a wonderful merger of the comic and the sinster "What an amusing buffoon. Oh look he just got that woman killed. Maybe not so amusing" Makes him more of a classic trickster/fool/hero figure. (hero because he does save people too; and his intentions are always good - though not much comfort to the people he gets killed or whose lives he mucks up.

Question: how long has this show been this weird?

Um, this was pretty over-the-top, as the mirrorverse episodes tend to be. I was enjoying this season, otherwise. I suspect that the heavy hand of Berman and Braga is becoming visible as we approach the finale.

So we'll never know what happens?

Well, I guess we know what eventually happens, because of the DS9 episodes.

I'm sure I do this every time the episode airs, but...

Martouf. sniff

And the S/J stuff is very, "Awwww..." t /sappy

Oh, and now it's Window of Opportunity time. Yay.

I watched the last ep of Farscape last night (last ep not counting the miniseries). Then I watched the DVD extra, which was a tape of the creator telling the cast and crew that it really was over, how much he loved them, and reading aloud a condolence letter from the TV Guide reviewer. Many people had cry-face, including Browder and Black.

I couldn't not watch it, but I also felt that I was intruding. That felt like a moment I didn't have the right to watch.

Does anybody else feel that way? I'm happy to hear people tell their own stories -- Tim and Joss talking about the Firefly wrap, for instance -- but watching them feels too intimate.

I felt that way just seeing the still shots from that bit.

Did we know that Jewel Stait was going to guest on Aquarium?

Read about it here.

Entirely vague -- except for the identity of the white-fonted guest star.

No!

Cool.

Smallville: Huh, the birth in the teaser? Where some weird birth via un-natural glowiness -- reminds me a little of the birth of Jasmine. (In that the birth destroyed the mother - okay, not in the same way.)

Also, the crater is meant to make us think of the whole baby Clark meteor thing, right?
