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.
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.
It also seems to be inciting a lot of "Incest Yay!" type of excitement between the brothers in the fandom
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.)
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.
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.
Yes. I have different levels of expectations for different shows. Supernatural won't have to do a whole lot to get me to watch when it's convenient. Threshold, I have slightly higher expectations for.
And then there are shows in which I invest all kinds of expectation. Like BSG. Which has not disappointed. And don't even get me started on Spooks.
I have BSG Season 1 DVDs.
Who wants to touch me?
I had them two weeks ago. Line forms on the left.

Feh.
Um, do you have the American release, with the extras?
I'm not sure you can win this game, Tom.
I also have DVDs of most of this season's eps. I watched Pegasus last night.
