I am DX. It was more stupid than Lost in Space, as improbable as that seems.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

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.

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.

I... I feel like a have a huge, gaping hole in my pop culture knowledge. What is QUARK? I'll go google now...
ETA: Hmmm. No, I don't think I was aware of it. The Ficus thing sounds familiar, but I could just be making that up.

Richard Benjamin (Love at First Bite, Goodbye, Columbus) played Captain Quark, of an intergalactic garbage scow, with a madcap crew of wacky individuals. And clones. "She is. No, SHE is."
