Buffy ,'Beneath You'
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.
Up with Sikozu! Down with Jool!
I liked Sikozu(for the most part) until the mini. though reading Vonnie's post i'm reminded by how much i didn't like her in the We're So Screwed episodes either.
Wow. Genre worlds collapsing...
huh. i had no idea ASH and AD had worked together before their Buffy days. that's neat.
I used to be terribly fond of Sikozu but her characterization in "We're So Screwed"
I liked seeing her with her native people. What specifically about her characterization (her magic powers notwithstanding) bugged you?
And now I'm afraid of the mini.
Don't fear PK Wars. It's pretty groovy, considering.

Yeah, IIRC, that's how AD got the job on Buffy.
(Again, I wish my brain stored USEFUL knowledge.)
I take it Tony Head played the character Jimmy Stewart played in Hitchcock's movie - which role did AD play, the John Dahl or the Farley Granger (or was he the other pal invited to the party)?
Dr. Who spoiler, of sorts -- er, actually it's a spoiler for the teaser at the end of "The Christmas Invasion": Did anyone else think they saw ASH in the trailers? It probably wasn't, because it's not in his IMDB, but I would like to know I wasn't the only one who thought so.
And come to think of it, it's not even that -- it's something I thought I saw but am almost sure I'm wrong about seeing, so it's about as unspoilery a spoiler as you can get.
Emily, it definitely *is* ASH
It's not a spoiler anyway, if you're not talking about what role he's playing.

I've never seen the movie version, oddly. It's one of the weird missing pieces in my Hitchcock viewing. (I've been half-heartedly looking for the play in used bookstores, but it's a PITA to find, so if I want it, I'll have to look online again--I hear it's fairly different from the movie, but again, I've never seen the movie. Of course, I'm lazy, so, you know...)

Well it's not considered one of his top shelf movies, but I rather like it myself. The visual style was an interesting experiment, but it's also rather showy.
I'd also have to say that Jimmy Stewart was either miscast, or the script needed to better delineate how he intended his cheerful misanthropy to be interpreted by his students, but it is interesting to watch him in the part.

Yeah, that confused me.
Also, with the movie you can play "spot the edits." The movie appears as if it was filmed as one continuous take, but in fact the film reels were not long enough for that. So every so often (I think every 15 minutes) the camera goes somewhere black or plain or something, so an edit can be made unobtrusively.
