Do the special effects get any better?
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Let me explain. No, there is to much. Let me use a visualization exercise.
Imagine watching The Season 1 Finale of VM having seen nothing else.
Times 10. At least. And that's just Season 2.
That, IME, is more or less standard reaction to Pilot and Rygel. Pilot's the puppet that makes you cry. But Rygel does get more tolerable as time goes on.

Yaaaaay.
I loved how Crichton just started cutting everyone off once he'd had a couple futureflashes.
Oh, and this exchange was priceless:
"What's wrong with him?"
"He is Crichton."
But the sex dreams turned out to be totally gratuitous and pointless. Though I was surprised by how much they got away with.

If the dreams involved Browder and Black, they might be gratuitous but I'd hardly call them pointless...

They involved Browder and alien chick.

Honey, it was filmed in Australia and shown on cable. You have no idea what all you'll see on camera. Heh.
And yes, D'Argo's got an interesting backstory.
Sadly for the males in the audience, we never saw that particular crop top on Aeryn again. Ben and Rockne (I think) mention it in the commentary on that episode, mourning its loss.
Some of the special effects are very good, although they change shops after the first season. There are shots in season 1 I still find among the most beautiful in the show, but everything looks better on dvd.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, did you say DVDs of The Sentinel were coming out? Because I want them, and I can find no mention of them. Did I misunderstand you?
Yes, you did. I was talking about Atlantis DVDs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dang. Thanks.

So we know about SGA being the fandom of the crackaddled AUs. Well, it's also become the fandom of the crackaddled crossovers.
Ladies and gents, I give you Where Did All the Physics Go?, an SGA-Star Trek TOS crossover. [link] Funniest damn thing I've read in months.
