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.
thanks, Fay. i was just about to ask if i have to see the mini to understand what's going on in the first season.
people on my flist are trying to reassure me that spoilery for Dr Who the new doctor, david tennant, is also an amazing actor. i also realize that CE was the ninth incarnation of this particular role and this is par for the course, but having never seen any of the others i just don't know if anyone will live up to CE. he was the show for me.
i'll wait to reserve judgement until i've seen DT in action, but i don't see me loving him as much as i love CE.
as for BSG, are there any zombie episodes i should know about?
Re: SG1 - I'm gathering, from reading PegB, that Daniel canonically grew up in Egypt. Is this so?
No, that's just extremely popular fanon as far as I know. His parents were both Egyptologists, before the unfortunate squishing incident.
...the unfortunate squishing incident?
::mind boggles::
Damn. I'm sorry it's not canon. Still...
(tiggy, I've not seen any of the new
Who,
but I grew up in the whole hiding-behind-the-sofa-from-the-daleks generation. I watched from Tom Baker onwards, and I think Tom Baker is probably my default Who. Hmm. Is the new
Who
available on DVD yet? 'Cause that would be fun...)
Fay, i'm not sure. we USians don't even get it on tv here. i had to be naughty to see it. sci-fi stupidly passed on the rights to air it. i'd love to see it in better quality. so i'm hoping one of these days someone here will wise up.
...just checked out
Amazon,
and I guess that's a no. Hmm.
...somebody tell me it's a bad idea to buy complete seasons of SG1, Buffy, X Files, Babylon 5 etc etc from China off ebay...
...the unfortunate squishing incident?
It really is tragically funny.
!!!
A particularly fat camel sat on them?
A pyramid fell on them?
His parents when they were setting up a museum display with big stone ... columns I think....when something happened and the columns fell squishing his parents.
Daniel witnessed the whole thing.
Oh! Oh dear. Was he a grownup Daniel at the time, or a wee!traumatised!Daniel?
And where do we know this from?
(...shit, I'm SO going to end up buying SG1 Box sets for seasons 1-7 from ebay, aren't I?)
You know, The Unfortunate Squishing Event is nearly as good as the Defenestration of Prague.
