Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

'Get It Done'


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.

askye, as Katie points out, the Stargate writers, when faced with the choice between "cheap laugh" and "honest characterization", will go for cheap laugh every. damned. time. Well, maybe nine times out of ten.

Ronon's pretty, though. I just hope they don't go the Teyla/Ronon route. I'd much rather see her with Bates, just for the entertainment value.

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

I was doing a good job of thinking of David Hewlett as Canadian until he said his favourite Sci Fi shows were Dr Who, The Tomorrow People. It's okay to feel a little like he's British, right? I mean, he was born in Surrey.

Ooh! Plus, he's got the Queen on his money! I think! So, yeah, Brit. Yay!

it's so fun watching Fay fall head and shoulders into a new fandom

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bow! Bow to the power of David Hewlett!

Dude, nobody remembers The Tomorrow People.

Hell, I scarcely remember it. But I grew up on Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People and Blakes 7. (And can I say, excluding the apostrophe is almost physically painful?)

...I was always going to be a geek.

Anyway, by namechecking said shows, rather than the Trek, he has won my girlish heart.

Well, that and the fact that he's snarky, and cute, and would look good naked with other boys. And is going to snog Carson.

It's all good.

(...actually, I've sort of named a character after him in the original novel I'm trying to write. Um.)

Bwah, Fay!

Veronica Mars fans: Anjou has started writing a Logan-centric story. You can find it here. If you're worried about WIPs, Anjou is very good about finishing things. She tends to write long, as well.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Dude, nobody remembers The Tomorrow People

I do. and I'm not british. But my mom, sisters, and I used to watch it after school. I believe it came on at 4.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Ancients/Avalon/Ori/Ascended timeline is making my head hurt. Is the assumption that the Ori are Ancients who'd settled and seeded yet another galaxy after fleeing Pegasus 10,000 years ago, and then subsequently ascended as a separate group that later bought into their own press?

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

You know, shameful admission time: I'm not even trying on this one. Someone else can try to work it out.

If I only had a brain...

I am sad because a promising fic in which Daniel and Vala are still braceleted together got Jossed.

Also, the final bit of Origin ran something like this:

Daniel: Darn. You're about to die horribly, you know that?
Fred The Walk-On: Not a problem. I'm a redshirt anyway. Time for me to take one for the plot team.
Vala: What about the blonde chick whose body I'm wearing?
Fred: She's a redshirt too.
Vala: Okay, then.
SCENE: FIREPIT OF DOOM SET (because it was too expensive to use only once)
Daniel: Oooh, ick.
Vala: I didn't like it the first time, I don't like it now. Bring on the redshirt FAST!
Daniel: Does not scream.
Vala: Doesn't scream, either, because this time the cavalry are bound to come.
Redshirts: Hey, this doesn't suck.
Teal'c: ::throws McGuffin into Stargate::
Redshirts: Damn. Aiieee!
