Buffy ,'Selfless'
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.
One of the best non-Joss commentaries I've ever heard is the entire Farscape gang ragging on "Jeremiah Crichton" in general. Beard abuse, plot abuse, effects abuse... excellent!
Yeah, the chin bra may be silly, but not half as silly as the mangey badger they stuck on Browder's face for that.
For whatever reason Dad has taken to Farscape so we watch it together. He can never remember the name and just calls it The Space Show with The Blue Lady. He seems to really get a kick out of Rygel.
But I need to know when the dream sequence episode with people in leather and whips...and Crais in heels, because I don't think I can sit there and watch it with Dad. Could I just skip it or is it needed for plot reasons?
As for DS -- I swing both Rays. There should be more stories about RayV in vegas. And the psychological aftermath, there are some very good stories, but there should be more.
God knows I love the fic that came out of the later seasons, and CKR yum, but I think it was a better show in the first two seasons, and I happily tell that to anyone who asks.
With you there. there were some good laughs in the later Ray K episodes, but I never felt the kind of trust between the characters that there was with Ray V, and the plots seemed to suffer from the increased absurdity later on.
My biggest regret with Being Benton Fraser is that I couldn't figure out how to work RayV into it without bending an already bendy plot all out of shape.
Yeah, the first seasons were a better show, but I just never really warmed to RayV himself. But Fraser was (I think) a better character in those seasons.
AGGGH ! The last of my Farscape Season 1 disks showed up. That is because I had the brains to order them from Amazon.
My Season 2 disks? STILL not here, because I was stupid enough to buy them on E-bay.
Never, ever again. Baby pays full price from here, yes indeed she does.
But I need to know when the dream sequence episode with people in leather and whips...and Crais in heels, because I don't think I can sit there and watch it with Dad. Could I just skip it or is it needed for plot reasons?
That's "Won't Get Fooled Again", hits somewhere around 216 or so. Check www.snurcher.com to confirm. There are plot-related issues in it, basically it's the episode that explains why John is hallucinating Scorpius. Except then John forgets again. The end of it kills me.
Is DS out on DVD?
ETAnswer my own question, Yes. To ask another dumb question, why doesn't Netflix have it? Is it a Canadian thing?
Anyone who owns the Due South dvds can contradict me, because I speak only from secondhand. But everyone who's bought them complains that they're badly packaged, with no extras, and expensive, unless you buy them from our neighbors to the north.
I have no idea why Netflix doesn't carry them. I had to beg and plead for months to get them to carry Men With Brooms, but eventually, they did. Netflix also doesn't carry Ultraviolet dvds, which is just...silly.
I actually wound up buying the Ultraviolet set (DCP kindly loaned me his, and I liked them well enough to buy them), because they were a really fantastic price, if I bought them with another set, so I did. The other set? Um, Kindred: the Embraced. What? It was a really really good price.
Also? Julian Luna looks rather startlingly like Orlando Bloom's older, more, ehm, robust brother.
