I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

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

Do you think the writers know what they're doing? Or is the same cluelessness about how to write women's roles also manifesting as them being completely oblivious to the Mckay/Sheppard subtext? I wouldn't have thought it possible to achieve near-Angel levels of UST without the writers intentionally aiming for it, but all the interviews seem to concentrate on "Duet" and the faux slash between Beckett and Cadman in Mckay's body.

They know. They must; God knows they've heard about Jack/Daniel for long enough, so I'm pretty sure they knew the reaction they'd get here. I'd rather doubt that it's intended the way some of the Angel stuff was--I mean, I don't think they're sitting around saying "how can we gay this up a little and make the slashers happy?"--but I very much doubt they're surprised.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have nothing to say about Atlantis that hasn't already been said, really. Although they managed to out-gay the previous two episodes, which had a) an actual same-sex kiss, and b) the whole team in bondage.

Fay, I checked with people this weekend, and we all agree that Quantum Leap never had a guy/guy kiss.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um, BSG people, apparently Crashdown is in the premiere of the (A?N?)BC show, "Inconcievable." Premiering...soon.

Yup. I saw the promos last night. I just can't remember shitwhich network and what the start date is.

Oh, I saw a promo for that show. I cannot think of it without appending, "I do not think it means what you think it means," of course. But I didn't notice it was Crashdown. Good for him!

Okay, its on NBC in the BSG timeslot -- first episode airs September 23rd.

I'm guessing that he's not a regular? (Because he wasn't mentioned in any of the Zap2it stuff about the show.)

No, I don't think so. It's a medical show about infertile couples, or people, actually. And from what I saw, he's a client. Wife killed in Iraq, somehow he's hoping the clinic can produce their child.
