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 thought the whole point of the old man framing device in Shaving Ryan's Privates was that we have no idea who the old man is. Tom Hanks and Matt Damon (and for that matter most of the other guys) only look alike inasmuch as they are white men with all of the standard ingredients in a face; the more generic an old man they find, the longer they can draw out the suspense over who he actually is.
(I didn't think he looked like anybody, FTR.)
The matching was excellent, particularly with the older Geena Davis.
Er, wasn't that makeup? I was pretty sure it was makeup.
This was a good solution in A League Of Their Own. The matching was excellent, particularly with the older Geena Davis.
Except the voice was clearly Geena's, and it kind of took me out of the movie. They didn't even let the other sister's older version speak.

Nope. Different actor.

Lynn Cartwright would be shocked (and also proud) to hear that, I think.
Someone buy the casting director a drink!
Furthermore (not that I'm holding a grudge) I hated the making-time-flow-backward-by-flying-backward meme when I saw Superman doing it. In the comics.
This episode just had so many asspulls: Stark's reappearance, the space mist, Chiana having trashed Aerin's prowler offscreen, the time travel, Aeryn's locket reappearing in the transport pod even though in this time stream it had never *been* in the transport pod, the crumbling picture...
Bleh. My suspension of disbelief snapped and I got whiplash.
Wonders if we should warn Betsy that asspulls and Stark go together like bread and butter. Thinks better of it.
I was afraid of that. Him and his magic lighty face.
But now I know who Harvey is, so yea!
The Locket makes me cry a lot. I forgive it the bad makeup and accents and time travel.

I envy you; I would love a big ol' shippy episode that worked that well for me. (Oh, okay, I have Look At The Princess part 3.)
I kind of like The Locket myself, gaping holes, asspulls and all.
