Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
The only problem, is that I know I'll miss JerrySpringerFan! Tealc
This makes me afraid there could be some Jaffa flabotnum thing in 3,000 BC that gets Original Recipe Tealc frozen in a sarcophagus and thawed out just in time. We haven't seen his AU version yet, have we?
No, we haven't. I expect that if we do, he'll be fairly bitter and unpleasant, rather like other AU versions of himself. Even if he has had his consciousness raised by Bra'tac (and there's no reason he wouldn't have), he's had 8 more years of blood on his hands.
t Averting eyes since I missed the Friday shows
Funny. Paul Gross is playing John Diefenbaker in The Tommy Douglas Story
I just watched "Dream A Little Dream".
Please, I beg of you, tell me it never gets worse than this.
Props to Suela for still spearheading the renewal campaign after an episode that is one long hyperextended lawyer joke, and not even a funny one.
Betsy, DaLD is universally accepted as appallingly bad. [link] And, sadly, the first Farscape episode I came across. Thankfully, I turned it off after ten minutes or so, and didn't hold it against it when I actually watched my first full episode (which was Green-Eyed Monster, much much better).
There are a few real clunkers of episodes in the run of the show: Jeremiah Crichton, DaLD, Picture If You Will, Mental As Anything. And there are a number that are seriously flawed for whatever reason: TOBM, Vitas Mortis, The Ugly Truth, Coup By Clam, A Prefect Murder, Twice Shy, La Bomba.
But there's so much wrong with DaLD that I'd be just as happy never to watch anything but the envelope scenes again. Oh, and maybe a couple of Zhaan's hallucinations. It does supply that fabulous shot of Aeryn, John, and D'Argo walking down the hallway in silhouette, that they use for the credit sequence, though -- the one where John has his flight suit on.
when I actually watched my first full episode (which was Green-Eyed Monster, much much better).
Wait. I was into Farscape before you were? That seems wrong, somehow.
Right. In the last three days, I think we saw three of those: Vitas Mortis, Picture If You Will, Dream A Little Dream. (That's the DVD ordering.) At least Out Of Our Minds is cued up and ready to go.
I have to speak up in defense of "La Bomba," which to me was a rollicking thrill-ride that restored a lot of my lost affection for the series. Sure, it had people riding out a nuke in an elevator, and Sikozu pulling that previously unsuspected Skarran-killing superpower out of her ass. But it's not as if the show didn't train us to use jazz hands when waving away the plot silliness long ago. And it gave us back the real Aeryn, who'd been AWOL for far too long .
Consuela eloquently says what I was feeling. That was not a happy Jack, nor even an entertainingly unhappy one, which I'm willing to entertain for a little while. It hurt me to watch him so torn up.
Which show is this, and should I be watching for the pretty pretty boys or for the writing?
