although sometimes the casting of an actor who plays a character who left/died can be considered a spoiler.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you talk about the pre-existing character the actor will play, you're pretty much saying something about the plot.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Without home internet this week (cable guy coming to fix it Friday, and he DAMN WELL BETTER GET IT DONE BEFORE BSG), I've been watching the Seaquest DVDs that DH brought home from the office. I watched the show when it was on, but watching it now post-Farscape (in 1993, I wasn't paying attention yet to writers or producers, so I had no idea it was a Kemper/O'Bannon project) is even better. It's so cheesy and bright and full of educational life lessons! With a talking dolphin!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have a vague memory of choosing to watch Seaquest over the first season of Lois and Clark but I may be mixed up: Maybe it was Earth 2 over Supe.
I do remember watching at least some of Seaquest.

Thrive to spite them
I watched Seaquest when it was being rerun on some channel. I want to say FX, but I don't think so, I think I was watching 21 Jump Street reruns then. I worked on the closing shift at Blockbuster at the time, I'd spend my mid mornings watching all the reruns, I even got into Dr Quinn Medicine Woman around the same time.
I liked Seaquest, until the point where they were thrown forward in time, that got kinda weird.

Do you guys remmeber Space: 1999?
I was trying to think of a specific show that my dad used to watch in the '70s and I think this is the one I was trying to remember because of Martin Landau and Barbara Bain -- whom I seem to remember in promos.
My brother says that he used to watch the original BSG too -- which doesn't surprise me at all.

Yep, ML and BB were in SPACE: 1999 (as was the original Lt. Gerard from THE FUGITIVE, Barry Morse, for the first season).
One of the main supporting actors, Nick Tate, turned up on LOST as a one-armed man last season. Hey, wait a minute...
