Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Buffy ,'Showtime'


Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think it's because you have to like the characters to like the stand-alone episodes. Once they started ramping up the arc (and once shalott started writing fic), I was completely into the show, and the earlier episodes worked a lot better for me.

Livia Penn, meanwhile, has been having a grand old time catching up on episodes that she missed. Her LJ reviews are deeply funny. Like this one.

Sheppard: "McKay, we need more weapons, big ones."

Rodney: (mutters) "Your *mom* has big ones."

Sheppard: "Hey, come on! What's that supposed to mean!"

Ford: "Well, I guess your mom would know, sir."

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

is the Sci-Fi channel promo special being repeated?

No idea. I have it on DVD, for fandom is a wonderful place.

Edited to say, um, if that's what you were referring to, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God bless them all. Except Teyla. She's still a cardboard mockery of noble warrior woman to me. At least Teal'c was funny and emotional while stoic. She's not even stoic, but she's bland.

Sci-Fi's running some special tonight about the premiering Friday line-up, aren't they?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Thanks so much, Dana, for that link to Livia's SGA entry.

Teyla: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!! I WILL DIVE OUT OF THIS JUMPER INTO THE SEA!! SERIOUSLY!!!"

Had I been your lawyer, I would have adviced you to plead temporary insanity or at least say you had eaten too many twinkies.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"The Man With the Screaming Brain."

Bruce Campbell's directorial debut, FYI. He also stars, natch. Should make for amusing viewing (they had - or are going to, I disremember - a midnight show of it at the Coolidge Corner theater).

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Sci-Fi's running some special tonight about the premiering Friday line-up, aren't they?

Yeah. I couldn't tell you the time, though (Tivo strikes again).

Oh, and Gateworld has a new primer up for SG-1. (Well, SGA does get a mention.) It has, you know, facts and so on.

(Mine was funnier, though, she said snottily.)

If I only had a brain...

Yours was MUCh\H funnier and didn't have stupid HTML clutter.
