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.
Which show is this, and should I be watching for the pretty pretty boys or for the writing?
I'm not sure I get the context here. ita is following up on an earlier exchange about Jack O'Neill in the last Stargate episode that aired.
You should watch Farscape for the pretty and the writing, which is occasionally brilliant, and almost always very good. Except when it sucks, but I'd say the bar is set very high.
If you were to watch Stargate, it would be for the premise, which has great potential, and the characters, who are engaging, even if they don't get to evolve much. The writing's not all that fab, although they're better at remembering their own canon than many non-Joss genre shows. Oh, and it's pretty too, but in a different way than Farscape. Still, hard to beat the black tank tops. And the team dynamic, which I like a lot.

Season 9 is going to be different.
I think Emma Peel totally blew everyone out of the water when she showed up, and the discordance between her and her surroundings will elevate her forever.
But -- I don't want to have sex with her, and her fight scenes are appalling. So Jack wins on both those two counts.
Ooh. I just had a thought -- F/C/M (or who'd win in a cage match ...) Buffy/Zoe/Emma.
I think it would come down to M Zoe, C Buffy (sorry, dear!), F Emma.
Emma does have the saucier wardrobe.
I think I'd pick Zoe in a throwdown, myself. It's possible I have no perspective.

Thank you. That's what I was missing. (I'm already hooked on Farscape. No further pimping is required.)
F Zoe, C Buffy, M Emma. Emma has better quips; Zoe's deadpan is wonderful, but I want somebody to set me up with a straight line now and again.
Buffy's still cookie dough. Now, and I fear, forever.
Buffy has Issues. Also, people who get involved with Buffy have horrible things happen to them. Angel got shoved into a hell dimension. Spike got incinerated. Riley wound up married to Mary Sue. Shudder.
