'The Train Job'
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.
the script needed to better delineate how he intended his cheerful misanthropy to be interpreted by his students
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.

Standard 35mm reels are 900 feet long, or about 10 minutes.

Actually, there's one deliberate (at least it feels very deliberate as opposed to an oversight), regular edit at one point when one of the two says something that's a give away and there's a blatant cut to Jimmy Stewart realizing what's what. It actually makes quite a great "Aha!" impact since up to then all the edits have been "hidden".
It's not a spoiler anyway, if you're not talking about what role he's playing.
I've certainly seen people spoiler-font for casting spoilers. Not that this would be one that gives away any plot, or... okay, it was a totally unnecessary spoiler-fonting. You hear that, people? Highlight at will -- I give nothing of any interest away.
Also, thanks, Tom.
Yeah--that's the guideline--if the casting tells you nothing about plot, not a spoiler.
although sometimes the casting of an actor who plays a character who left/died can be considered a spoiler.
If you talk about the pre-existing character the actor will play, you're pretty much saying something about the plot.
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.
yep, it's him and it is actually in his imdb profile. it's just down in the "Notable TV Guest Appearances" section.
Yeah, IIRC, that's how AD got the job on Buffy.
weird that i never knew this because when i got into fandom(which was circa season 3 Buffy) i absorbed every possible thing i could.
(Again, I wish my brain stored USEFUL knowledge.)ha! you and me both. though it does make playing Scene It, Trivial Pursuit and Rock 'N Roll Jeopardy worthwhile.
I wonder if anyone ever made a Star Wars fan vid to the tune of "On the Dark Side" by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band?
Probably. It's pretty an obvious choice.
Never mind.
Hey, Smallville slash fans, the episode with Aquaman (entitled Aqua, oddly) is on this Thursday.
