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.
Darn. Want to see that episode, damn it!
Most of the time, when I've seen men playing women, they've tended to overdo it. The one shining exception was Conleth Hill's performance in the play
Stones in His Pockets,
a two-hander in which each actor plays about 8 different roles, including at least one female.
He was
outstanding.
Mostly, though, I can't think of guys who have been all that persuasive. Ooh, outwith Jaye Davidson, of course.
I'm flinching a little at the prospect of seeing how Hewlett pulled it off. Er. As it were. Still, boy/boy snoggage - always fun.
He only overdid slightly -- it really wasn't too bad.
Also, why do people only have pets on Earth?
Klingons have pets! I think.
Meanwhile -
Veronica Mars.
Have watched 2 episodes to date. This seems to be a DAMN fine show, which is why I'm savouring it, and working my way through it more slowly than SGA and
House.
Loving it.
Fay, the nice thing about Veronica Mars is that it never veers to the stupid and the arc was well managed and it finishes very strong. There are a couple "eh" episodes but no real "Feh!" episodes.
Klingons have pets! I think.
They do. Really ugly pets.
I'm thinking the two dripping bloods (yeah, I know that's wrong) were to show us that humans and human-looking Cylons deep down are the same. Or, you know, close enough.
As Starbuck pointed out, "They bleed good, don't they?"
I, too love CB's Vala, but I want to speak up for Lexa Doig's lovely reactions when she's left in the background.
I finally started watching Dr. Who (thanks Vonnie) and LOVE it. Love love love. The pilot had me grinning like a loon. I skipped ahead to Jack episodes. Episodes 9 and 10 freaked me out. Sadly, my disks work wonky on my computer so the picture makes everyone and everything seem bionic. Still, if the show is able to jump out to me in this condition, then it's got to be good. Can't wait to devour the remaining eps.
Best parts of Duet were the moments when Rodney actually was forced to sympathize with Cadman. He plays angst so beautifully. And not even regular angst. Grudging, self-centered angst.
