My BSG S1 DVDs are here. I am very, very happy about that. Chock full of commentaries, yay.
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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
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.
Supernatural:
Okay, so they managed to hold off nature's buggy wrath for several hours with an aerosal can flamethrower ?!? That was the lamest curse ever.
Also, the dead spiders were totally those cheap plastic spider rings with the ring parts cut off.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
I recently celebrated my birthday, and my mom gave me the first two seasons of Farscape on DVD. (Huzzah, Mom! I haven't seen Farscape (other than The Peacekeeper Wars) since the Sci Fi channel stopped showing it, so this made me really happy). These are the Starburst editions, because I am one of those people who actually listens to every commentary and watches all the special features.
I've been gorging myself, and I've been really disappointed in the DVDs themselves. The company that produces them must have a truly suck-ass quality control department. So far I've worked my way through three "volumes," or sets, and have run into problems with all three. (For those of you who don't know, each "volume" is a double-sided set that contains either 7 or 8 episodes, so three volumes make up one entire season.) In volume 1, the entire side of one disc is empty. I've tried it on two DVD players, and nothing is there. In volumes 2 and 3, there are episodes that just freeze, and nothing I do will make the episode progress beyond that point. (To be fair, one of the episodes is "Jeremiah Crichton," which is probably the worst episode in the entire series, but still....)
I just wanted to know if I was visited by some sort of evil birthday fairy, and can I expect this from the remaining three volumes? (They came from Deep Discount DVD, and I plan to send them back and exchange them. It's just that at this rate my hopes for receiving a DVD that is glitch-free is miniscule.)

If I only had a brain...
Morgana, I've had bad problems with the "Starburst" DVDs: I've had to return them for replacements once per set. Go ahead and request replacements from Deep Discount DVD>

Yeah, the Starburst editions have some problems -- the doublesidedness kind of makes them difficult. On the other hand they are SOOO much more affordable than the other ones.

Don't really know if this is the place for House, but.... I'm watching on tape delay, and OMG TEH SLASH. How gray the line between subtext and text. Plus, how hot.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Wasn't it, though? "Unlike your wife, I'll make it worth your while." How else can that line be taken? And then House wearing the scruffy look a year after Wilson told him unshaven looked good. This episode made me so happy, until the end, where I got sad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Unlike your wife, I'll make it worth your while."
Pfft. There's no wife. I mean, has anyone ever actually seen her?

Haven't there been several wives? All of which didn't work out? (Or am I just remembering that from fic?) House is such a delicious bastard, and yet, not really at all. And he and Wilson are so cute.
I am ruined, RUINED by the slash goggles. And loving every minute of it.

Doesn't the House stuff go in Natter?
I hope we get to learn about the mommy/gf killing demon in next week's Supernatural.
