I gave my son the choice of my taped SG-1 or Mansquito and he chose Mansquito. Drinking now.
"Hey... Mansquito!" I couldn't believe he actually said it. I so couldn't believe it I've been playing that clip all day today on the radio.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.
'Why We Fight'
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.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Muppet sex I could handle -- they are muppets. But S&M gear I can't watch with dad. It squicks me out too bad.
Well, it is supposed to be read as an indication that Things Are Very Wrong. But I can see how you wouldn't want to go there. Really, it's not Rygel-in-bondage that freaks me out in that episode, but the discussion of Oedipus in Dr. Zhaan's office with Leslie Crichton. Ewwww!

Our wings are not tired.
Ya know, you have to give a show extra points when it makes Buffistas twitch.
I feel like such an old fogy when I gush about the joy that is DVD's. So many worthwhile shows that are available for my viewing pleasure at my convenience. I almost never caught Farscape live due to life issues. The download option gave me the opportunity to watch the whole series, but DVD's much prettier.

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.
That's what I keep hearing. I really want to get the third season, but jeez. Someone was going to send me tapes at one point, but that fell through so I've been hoping to go the DVD route. Have to wait a while longer I guess to see more than the two or three eps I've seen from the CKR era.

If I only had a brain...
I'm trying to suss out names on Farscape; I can't figure the pattern.
Ka D'Argo -- always D'Argo, never Ka.
Aeryn Sun -- Aeryn to her friends, "Officer Sun" to Pilot, who is polite, and to Peacekeepers, who aren't.
John Crichton -- Crichton to everybody
Chiana, Rygel, Zhaan -- one name, avoid the issue entirely.
I could write this all off to alien customs except that Crichton presumably goes by John all the time at home.
Comments?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Actually, D'Argo starts to refer to Crichton as John quite a bit. So does Scorpy, now that I think about it.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce
I think Ka may be an honorific, sort of a Mr. for Luxans.

Doesn't Pilot call John "Commander" in the early episodes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you're looking for a pattern, I wouldn't try and find one across species.
Also -- Officer Sun may not be an issue of politeness. It's a military thing. Rank is important.

Good point. Pilot tends toward formality. There was one big moment in which Pilot said "Officer Sun... Aeryn..."
