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 managed to avoid Annie for years, so my introduction to Tim Curry was RHPS and my introduction to Albert Finney was Tom Jones.
Mine were RHPS for Curry and TWO FOR THE ROAD for Finney, which was also introduction to Audrey Hepburn. Great movie, which I just got on DVD and worked as my introduction to seriously non-linear movie storytelling.
No, wait, my intro to Finney was the musical SCROOGE, which REALLY doesn't give an accurate impression (but does show an impressive amount of range). Also, it was the second movie I remember seeing in a theater with any degree of clarity (the first being YELLOW SUBMARINE).
And my next encounter with Finney after TftR was MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. Talk about three VERY different roles.
Darkness for Curry, Tom Jones for Finney.
Although I love Two for the Road with an unholy passion, and "Not much of a sunset in these parts," has been a family shorthand remark for "Nice segue! Not!" for-EVer.
There's a BSG season 2 dvd set coming out on December 20th, WTF?
One of the reviews says:
This set, however, will include a "90-minute" (60 minute actual) version of the mid-season cliff-hanger episode "Pegasus". So with that, there's at least some incentive to buy this set rather than wait for a possible full season set next year that may or may never come.
Yeah,I've got that at home. Not entirely sure what the point of it is, but I'm glad to have it.
I think it's just the first half of season two (i.e. what's been aired so far).
eta: yep.
Now then, why is Universal offering just a half season here? Who really knows. Although getting these episodes out before the second half airs is not really a bad thing, just a strange thing. I guess since the show is such a hit, Universal figures that they could boost their ratings for the second half if they get all available episodes out on DVD before the second half airs. This set, however, will include a "90-minute" (60 minute actual) version of the mid-season cliff-hanger episode "Pegasus". So with that, there's at least some incentive to buy this set rather than wait for a possible full season set next year that may or may never come.
I wanna see the long version of "Pegasus" - from the commentary it sounds like lots was cut.
eta² Pegasus x-post.
Looks like the 'Murricans will be getting the new Who after all. So long as you're willing to pay for it.

they've got to be kidding! 13 episodes for $100? i think not.
Ah well, at least it'll probably be available for rental this way. That kind of pricing is why I haven't bought the first season of Carnivàle, and that show was practically made with my tastes in mind.
well, they know that a lot of Dr. Who fans are probably geeks very clever people who will upload/torrent/burn DVDs, so they need to get their money's worth.
