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.

I've got three episodes worth of Supernatural on TiVo that I haven't watched yet. Does it remain watchable? I mean, the brothers are appealing enough, but I find myself frequently bored by the Evil Spirit of the Week. I liked the one with the mirror and the The Ring rip-off, but I wish the creep factor were higher on a consistent basis.
I rather liked Threshold from last Friday, because we had the revisitation of the dreams and the sight of the bloody cabbages with teeth was genuinely spooky. Plus, my boyfriend James Frain was in it. I also liked the consistancy of how the infectees used their own individual skills to propagate the transmission.
The writing still needs to be sharper though. It's got such good actors and a neat concept that I am often saddened by the sloppy writing and how that doesn't allow the show to live up to its potential. For example, we could have had more in-depth exploration of Lucas's faith if we had him actually at the scene of the case. I did love the line about how Lucas and Ramsey (can't really think of him as Arthur) have bonded and the acknowledgement of the conflict between Molly and Fenway.
I think that's already covered by the Big Gay Sex warning.

I like to think of it more as a promise.
Have you heard that Threshhold is being tested in a Tuesday slot on the 22nd and 29th? I forget if it's the 9 or 10PM slot, since my brain immediately went "NO MORE SHOWS ON TUESDAY, DAMNIT."

Isn't this one Brannon Braga's show? I lost track a little, with all of the sci-fi shows this season, but I'm pretty sure he's the executive producer on this. Not to be all Trek-bitter, but that may explain the sloppy writing.
Yeah, I heard about the move. Thankfully, it's to the 10 PM slot so I don't have to do the 9 PM House/My Name Is Earl/Threshold juggling. (I think that new Geena Davis-as-president show and TAR are also in that time slot.) Thank GOD VM got moved to Wednesday.

Heh. That's what I understand. I've never watched any trek except DS9 so I haven't personally experienced his wrong-doings, but I've heard people hiss venomously at his name like he's the Antichrist or something.
House goes just about anywhere else. Not here.
Although it may be arguable that the science on HOUSE is pretty hellaciously fictional, I gotta agree.

Well, really, it's on TV. You sit up and applaud when the science is accurate.

True dat, even on some of the "learning" channels.
Didn't some good producer (my brain tries to convince me it's a Mutant Enemy alumni/a) just join the
Threshold
staff, and this last episode was the first under the new regime? I noticed that they actually followed up on, you know, writing the dog out of the cast, instead of using it to become infected.
(Though a mutant, twisted English bulldog -- how could you tell?)
But anyway, I thought this last episode was a bit more tightened up than earlier ones. And teethy cabbage is a hell of a Freudian image.
Does anyone know where I can find the screen cap of RayK and Frasier holding hands? I'm attempting to make a multi-fandom icon and want to include it.
