Oh, the Planet Killer is under the -2000x tab.

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 is well that ends in pizza.

If you hit the BIG tab, you get Ringworld and the Dyson's Sphere from Star Trek.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
That reminds me, did we ever see the Vorlon version actually in use, or did we just see one flying through the debris field of an exploded planet as Ivanova and Marcus gawked upon their late arrival?
Nup, never saw it in action--almost, when it was about to do over Centauri Prime. Did see one get destroyed though. It blowed up reeeeeeal good.

"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 kind of wondered about that, actually. You'd figure that something with enough firepower to blow up multiple planets would have exploded in a slightly more devastating way. Ah well... t handwaves it away as vacuum self-energy that doesn't exist until the weapon creates it for specific planet-busting use...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Very brief DragonCon celebrity report:
Adam Baldwin, Tricia Helfer, and Paul McGillion were all donating all or part of their proceeds to Hurricane Katrina victims, so I gave them all money, tried to politely thank them and explain why, and ended up crying each time. The crying decreased each time, though, so I completely blubbered on Tricia Helfer, who was wonderful and stood up and hugged me, even though I never actually mentioned that I watched the show and enjoyed her work. Adam Baldwin and Paul McGillion were also very kind. And hot. And I got to touch them both.
I never did get to a Battlestar Galactica panel, but my interest in that decreased when Jamie Bamber had to cancel. No licking for me, alas.
Crowds for the Firefly panels were insane. Hopefully this is a good sign.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Baltar is just a cigarette holder and a couple missed shaves away from twirling his moustache and cackling like a madman.
See, people keep describing Baltar as a villain, but I don't view him like that at all. I mean, he's not a white hat or anything, but I don't see him a moustache-twirler. I mostly agree with Strega on Baltar. He's definitely funny (and I laugh with him, not at him), and I also find him terribly interesting.

wisteria has a nice write-up here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Am I the only Buffista who loved Alien Nation: The Series ?
No, I really enjoyed it, too. Didn't get to see nearly as much of it as I wanted to, though.

Cool beans! I have a handful of episodes on tape that I recorded 14 years ago, plus a couple of the movies recorded not-14 years ago. Haven't seen all the movies, though, so I'm also hoping they get a release ala the B5 Movie set.
I can't wait for these dvds to be released!! *bounce bounce bounce*

I have Alien Nation tapes around here somewhere. I'm sort of afraid to look at them and discover that the show isn't as good as I remembered, since I was young and not always discerning.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I checked out V from the library a few months ago, and couldn't even make it through 1 episode before the badness threatened to make my head explode. I think Alien Nation was better - at least, the original movie, although, like you, I fear watching it to find out I was wrong.
