To wit: I just had a discussion with Beau about this and he didnt believe it either.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

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)
Smallville: I didn't watch the premiere (BF didn't Tivo it grrr) but we just started watching from the beginning - reruns on Saturday afternoons. I could not believe the HoYay! I mean, I know the show is held up as the ultimate yay-fest but really, it's hysterically absurd. The truck gift after mouth to mouth ! "I don't want anything to get in the way of our relationship" ! The box+pretty necklace inside gift !
Also, about this season's premiere, isn't JM the new Big Bad ?
ETA I know it's not considered spoilery for 5 years ago but whitefont is fun.

He is Brainiac. .. but Lex is also rather big baddish now. Or so the premiere would have us believe.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So, is tonight the night we find out what the 12 Colonies equivalent of strawberries is, or did they end the first half of their season last week as well?

Re: Smallville-
The biggest eyerolling moment, of many, in the premier for me was the Kryptonians step out of the space craft and ten seconds later the entire county police force comes rolling up, sirens wailing, to take pot shots at them before getting blown up.
1) There was a meteor shower. Wasn't the whole setup of the series based on the fact that no one is going to notice an alien space craft landing when there are huge flaming rocks coming down with it?
2) There was a meteor shower. Weren't all these police officers busy dealing with the evacuation and rescue efforts. How many other people died because they were driving out to a field in the middle of nowhere to get blown up by aliens that they shouldn't have known were there in the first place?
There had to be an easier (and budget-saving so as to maybe pay for better CGI) and more sensical way of showing that they were EVIL Kryptonians.

OMG! I just discovered my local WB channel is showing Farscape! I just stumbled across the first episode! Damn I wish I'd known it was on.

Wow. I just did a quick search to see if we were getting it, too. Turns out channel 9 (I have no idea what the station is, but it's not the WB. I don't think. Or maybe it is. I don't know.) is showing ep 1 of Farscape tomorrow at 9p and ep 2 next Sunday. I'm sensing a trend. That's kind of neat. I haven't rewatched since I Netflixed the first time. Maybe I'll do that.
Fun.
