When I was at the comic shop yesterday, there was a guy there picking up his Doctor Who magazine.
He says that there is supposed to be an annoucement re: US airing of the new Doctor next month. I mean that the announcement is next month.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

If I only had a brain...
I just watched The Locket. Damn, that was bad. It was so bad I said out loud halfway through "Boy, this is bad!" The next scene was old-John and old-Aeryn laughing in slow-motion as they ran through a forest. Husband: "You jinxed it!"

I always wondered how John's cornpone accent got that much stronger over the years with only Australian-sounding people around to interact with.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The "rapid aging" plot device never works out that well. Remember Mulder's awful old-man make-up in "Dod Kalm"? (Although, truth be said, I am irrationally fond of the episode--it's got some lovely cinematographic touches, and I love Scully's monologue at the end about Ragnorak.) Oh! And there's that early SG-1 episode with doddering Jack and Dr. Bambi. Cheesy fun, but pretty bad all the same.

Thing was, it wasn't actually rapid aging - he was supposed to have lived through all those years. I can accept the makeup looking a bit off if someone's developed wrinkles and gray hair over the course of a day, 'cause who knows what accelerated metabolism would do to a body (thinking of that Russian diplomat with dioxin poisoning). But regular old people don't have skin that looks like grainy papier maché.

Age makeup is soooo hard to do. You'd almost be better off trying to find older actors who bear some small resemblance to the younger actor they're portraying.
But that could suck too.

Unless it's Charlie to Martin Sheen. Funniest Visa check card commercial ever.

This was a good solution in A League Of Their Own. The matching was excellent, particularly with the older Geena Davis.

Love that one.

Other problems with the movie aside, I thought this worked for Saving Private Ryan, too.
