Wednesdays, paired with Lost.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oooh, the new Atlantis was good.
Lots of Rodney. Some very funny lines. New credits! Longer than five seconds! And a sweet little Ronon and Weir bit at the beginning.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
I watched "Supernatural" (yes, I know *hangs head in shame*) and it wasn't that bad. Jenson Ackles brought the funny and the hot. The other kid was unimpressive but a good foil for JA (who was reminding me of a young James Spader, what with the haircut and the snark).

Art Crawl!!!
I watched Supernatural and enjoyed it -- found it very creepy and will be watching it again.

I thought the same thing about him being Spader-y! I feel so validated now. I think the scruff helped, too, because it made his face look wider.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
"Supernatural" was hokey but in an entertaining way. It also seems to be inciting a lot of "Incest Yay!" type of excitement between the brothers in the fandom, which is... hmmm. I don't know. It's not like I can point fingers since I was one of the people who saw a strong vibe between Simon and River in the Hodgeberry scene, but it leaves me sort of uneasy.

My comment about Jensen Ackles was that he's either gotten to be a better actor (since his time on DooL) or is even hotter than he used to be. Either way - it worked like a charm. I liked Supernatural - pretty and sort of creepy. And they played AC/DC in the car. I thought Threshold was pretty good, too, and I like the cast and premise a lot.
Surface was just boring.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh. I didn't get that vibe, but fandom will have its way.
It looks like good cheesy fun. And there were a couple of really good scares in the pilot. (My worry is that, from what I've heard, they spent a LOT more on the pilot than they did on the rest of the series, so the quality, at least of the effects, is likely to go downhill fast.)

Oh, please. Incest is so the new black. I find it boring.
I stuck it out the whole hour for Surface, but it suffered in comparison to Threshold, I thought. Threshold not only has a better cast, I felt like so much more *happened*, even in the first twenty or thirty minutes of the show.

As Demian pointed out in his recap of Supernatural, there is this exchange:
Dean: Does Jessica know the truth about you? I mean, does she know about the things you've done?
Sam [seething]: No, and she's not ever going to know.
Dean: Well, that's healthy. You can pretend all you want, Sammy, but sooner or later, you're gonna have to face up to who you really are.
Sam: And who's that?
Dean [gleeful]: One of us!
Sam: No! I'm not like you! This is not going to be my life!
Hee.
I thought the show itself was pretty dopey, but I wanted & expected it to be dopey. I need my RDA of enjoyably crappy shows.
