Tara ,'Get It Done'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The Rommie, Andromeda thing -- I'm not sure that I expect any sort of consistency from Andromeda (the show), although I am wondering where all those Nietscheans went.
I thought it was amusing that the finale of Enterprise was 6 years later than the penultimate episode and they made absolutely no attempt to age anyone.
SG1, SGA and BSG are coming back July 15th.

Most people don't age so you'd notice in 6 years, once they hit their late 20's, early 30's. There are subtle differences, but generally people around you don't notice as much.
I thought they did a pretty good job knocking off 12 years from Marina Sirtis, who was looking different in the last movie.
Jonathan Frakes couldn't quite pull it off. He's stepped off the Anson Williams "Potsie" youth train.
I gave them points for as well as they did.

Other than giving the women slightly different hairstyles.
I also found it odd that no one managed to get a promotion in 6 years (especially on top of the 4 years before that.)
Overall, I was disappointed with it. It felt like it was more about Riker than about the actual cast, which is a really poor choice for a final episode, IMO.
Also, as much as it was good to see Shran one last time, the plot was really lame. He just up and left the Imperial Guard and fell in with criminals? WTF?
I also agree about Trip's death being random and stupid. Not to mention, how'd the bad guys catch Enterprise and then manage to forcibly board it in about 30 seconds. And where the hell were the M.A.C.O.s during the intruder alert? I'd imagine there's a limited number of airlocks on the ship, so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out where the intruders were.
The voiceovers from the ship captains did break me up a bit at the end, though.

I joked to my cousin Steve that they told all the extras. "Well, our budget has been cut, so we're going to blow some on Frakes and Sirtis, and a recording of Data from 1994. Sorry, We can't afford a fully-staffed ship."
It's my Meta, and I'm sticking to it.
Would have been nice to have a line about how they were a skeleton crew, and undertaking the rescue mission was foolhardy....
Well, every now and then the Smallville people can pull their shit together and make something that's fun.
There was even some HSQ -- briefly -- I'm talking about the return of Jason Teague.
Plus - EVIL cliffhanger.
Seeing more of Batman Begins just makes me want to see it EVEN MORE.

Hey, Daniel, if you don't mind, what's your source these days? Mine dried up.
Well, one that asks not to post the URL anywhere.... If you can't find the show, email my profile address.
And isohunt, for another. Might be on mininova dot org
Mininova is where I managed to find it. After a few surprisingly frantic hours.
Thanks, both.
