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.
But if I think about Smallville, and just sit back and enjoy the silly, and the slash, and don't worry about handwaving or, you know, narrative integrity etc...it's a lot of fun. I mean, yes, I looked at the wee village of people who should all be the same racial type, and yet who look like a random handful of racially diverse North Americans. But I don't mind any more. Because that's the kind of show it is. And that's okay.
SGA being a "lube and balloons" fandom
Yep, now I am going to start watching again. I tried to watch it seriously and that just didn't work. But fun and slashing? I'm there.
Now watching Wrinkly!Timetravelling!Elizabeth episode.
Rodney and John
are
Mr and Mrs Bickerson. Bless them.
Rodney and John are Mr and Mrs Bickerson. Bless them.
They are awfully cute in "Before I Sleep." There's poor old Elizabeth trying to tell her crucially important story, and John and Rodney can't stop pulling on each other's pigtails long enough to actually listen.
And especially Rodney. I really, really love Rodney.
I hope the writers can rewatch the eps you are watching. Rodney in S2 has been turning into Xander, and it's
not right.
Oh well, it's only three weeks in, perhaps they have already shot the writers of the first three.
...turning into Xander?
Huh.
Well, I
like
Xander. But Rodney really isn't Xander at all. Rodney's more like a Wesley/Warren hybrid.
Meanwhile, I'm watching episode 3 of
House.
Still so strange watching Hugh Laurie being American. Bless him.
Still so strange watching Hugh Laurie being American.
Yep. I went from watching a House episode to watching Hugh Laurie as Prince George in Blackadder III the other day. He's definitely got range.
He's adorable in
Sense and Sensibility.
Just a handful of lines, into which he crams a universe of weariness.
Okay, seriously, the guys writing SGA now are the same guys who were writing it last year. There are times when one can play the "the new people just don't get it!" card, but this is not one of them. Everyone loves last year's season-ender, right? Well, the last two episodes of S1 were written by the same people who wrote the first two episodes of S2, and the guy who wrote Runner is Atlantis' executive producer.

...turning into Xander?
Huh.
Well, I like Xander.
So do I, but I guess I was referring to the fact they kept making him the comedy buttmonkey and occasionally nearly terminally stupid.
In other words, annoyance at Xander's treatment is now becoming annoyance at Rodney's treatment.
