I thought Space: 1999 was the worst. show. ever. And that's from someone who loved almost everything else Gerry Anderson ever did. What a terrible waste of Landau, Bain, and Morse. I think Anderson was too used to working with puppets, because the acting was incredibly wooden.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I am DX. It was more stupid than Lost in Space, as improbable as that seems.

If I only had a brain...
Well, stupid doesn't always keep me from watching a show. (Says the erstwhile Andromeda watcher). Especially when I was a kid. I just thought the leads were hot, even as I snarked at the moon flying through space all by its lonesome.

Eh, I was maybe eight? All space shows were cool to me at that age, I'm pretty sure. I'm not thinking I would have the same reaction to it today, but at the time? Very cool.

This is me. Hell, I loved Lost in Space too.
My favorite space show as a kid (aside from Trek), though, was also one of my first experiences in traumatic cancellation: QUARK.
We won't go into that "I said 'lunch' not 'launch'!" show.

Whoa, speaking of traumatic cancellations and sci-fi, I wonder if this is true: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That would be nifty.
Weird article about SciFi Friday. Doesn't actually have a point that I can see, other than letting the writer show off how much TV he watches.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, man, I loved Quark. "Bee, bee, bee, bee, bee!"
So entirely silly. A show before its time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
