I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Yeah. There was big thread repurpose discussion back then; I recall we were talking about MI-5 here at that time, and once we've concensed that this would be a sf/f TV thread, the MI-5 talk moved to Natter.

We could debate about magic realism in DS, but it was the show for which the original incarnation of the thread was named, so of course it was going to stay.

Actually, there are going to be a truckload of vaguely sf/f new shows this season--Supernatural and Invasion (if it doesn't get yanked due to Katrina) and erm, Threshold, I think. And that Frank Spotzy show with whassaname Townsend. I have no idea if the discussion of those shows, if any, is going to happen here or in Natter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As the sff tv thread, discussion of those shows belongs here, although you can talk about them in Natter too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Northern Exposure had magical realism? When?

Well, there was the bear that turned into a human and became lovers with Maggie for one. Various ghost appearances. Lotta vague shamanic magic affecting things.

I was going to list that, but it seemed pseudo-sciencey enought to slide by.

Some people smell better or more attractive than others in real life, but I think the degree set it off in the land of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

There was the one with Bill Irwin as the flying guy. And Maggie's magical dying boyfriends. Which, um, brings us back to SG-1. Ahem.

It's nice to be offline all day and discover that everyone else has responded to the spoiler for me. Carry on, y'all.

Thrive to spite them

I watched BSG s1ep4 last night. Wow. Really, just Wow. Evidentally I watched the first two episodes and then stopped because I don't remember this one at all.

The sturcture of the episode was really fantastic. There were so many good things -- Starbuck with Hot Dog in the beginning, Adama and Starbuck when she tells him the truth. Lee when he realizes that he's gone too far. Actully the look when he thinks his father knows the truth. I'll stop gushing now.

Also, I love Katee Stackhouse's acting, she does all these little physical things that just make the character.

Art Crawl!!!

Jessica -- if you're here, may I ask what the format the packaging of the BSG Season 1 dvds is in? Because I just got my Lost dvds last night and even though I haven't watched them yet -- I hate the packaging.

What made these people think that packaging dvds so that one is stacked on the other is a good idea? Everytime you want to watch one of the even numbered discs, you have to remove the odd numbered disc to do it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

YES. That is exactly what I love as well. Also, Sackhoff.

Aaah. I had to stop highlighting the SG-1 whitefont because I seemed to be spoiling myself for Farscape.
