'Out Of Gas'


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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

What are "dirtypillows"?

I suspect that they are boobies.

Does Starbuck have poor hygiene or something? I've heard breasts refered to in many ways, but, Ashcroft aside, I've never really heard folks who liked them referring to them as "dirty" anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Isn't it from "Carrie"?

Strawberry disappointment.

Carrie's mum referred to them like that.

Ah, that makes sense. Carrie's mom had significant issues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Carrie's mum referred to them like that.

Oh. Is that the origin of the phrase? I had forgotten that - I thought it was a term that Polly J Harvey made up in the song "Sheila na Gig."

He said Wash your face
I don't want to be unclean
He said Please take your
Dirty pillows away from me

Less than favorable but amusing review of SG1 from a Farscape fan tuning in for the first time: [link]

If I only had a brain...

Her work on Farscape proved her a hugely classy and talented actress, even in the most bizarre situations. Having her done up as shameless nerd bait seems somewhat beneath her dignity.

Huh? She's an actress. By all accounts, she's thrilled at the chance to play a character with no dignity at all. Browder is playing Crichton all over again; Black is playing somebody completely unlike Aeryn. I bet I know which one is more of a challenge.

"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

I love Claudia, but I don't think you can hold the character of Vala up as bad judgement for someone who had a bit part in Queen of the Damned.

This line really cracked me up:

Former star Richard Dean Anderson, in his few brief appearances before exiting the series for good, has seemed bored to the point of stupefaction, delivering emotionless lines while scanning the horizon for his paycheck. For shame, MacGyver!

So that's what he was looking at over Shanks' shoulder! They must have been waving it at him like a doggie treat to get him to perform.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is just perfect.

(And absolutely What Betsy Said re: CB. I suppose if all of CB's post-Farscape roles were flaky sexpots, there'd be a point there, but...yeah.)
