Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

'Serenity'


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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'm watching the second ep of House now, and liking it a lot (House is much like Snape, imho, in terms of being a clever asshole who's less misanthropic than one might think). Going to choose Veronica Mars next, though.

Askye - I've watched up to Childhood's End on SGA. I've made two attempts to watch Poisoning the Well and found myself just not giving that much of a damn, an ddoing something else instead.

Hugh Laurie. Bless. How's his American accent, btw? If one didn't know he was British, would it be horribly obvious? I hope not. I mean, obviously I buy it, but I would. I'm very endeared by the fact that both Hugh and Robert have worked with Emma Thompson.

SGA - The Storm and The Eye are where it really picks up.

Hugh Laurie's accent is fantastic. I wouldn't be able to tell if I didn't know.

Thrive to spite them

Fay --- what Jen said.

John kicks ass in The Storm/The Eye. Rodney's really good too.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

To be fair to SGA, the line about Carson being Dr McCoy was good. I'd just already heard it quoted. Hmm. Ooh! Guy who plays Carson is apparently Canadian - left Paisley when he was 2. I'm rather impressed by that. Presumably he's doing an impression of his dad.

...oooh, yes. First ep of Veronica Mars.

V. good. Engaging characters, interesting story, lots of questions raised... I like.

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

I read a cute little House/Snape crossover fic I liked. Well, not really H/S in that there was no middle-aged hawt lovin' between our favorite misanthropes, but it had Snape hospitalized in whatever place House works in and there was some good snark. Let me see if I can scare up a link...

Ahh. Here we go.

Echoing everyone's opinion that SGA didn't really come into its own until "Storm/Eye". The second half of the season is really quite good, and the two-part season finale is wonderful. "Poisoning the Well" *is* rather dull, I have to say. That's the Carson-centric episode, right?

Yay, Veronica Mars!

YAY!

Okay, I just noticed that A.J. Cook is in Bloodsuckers. So. I'm going to watch it, cause it looks kinda cool anyway. Who's with me? tommyrot? You know you want to.

I like Jaffa politics.

And this is a good, because I like when you write about Jaffa politics.
