I'm watching Smallville, too
James Marsters without the accent is deeply disturbing.
And, thanks to the "his story"/history thing, I have to hate the character.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Which just confirms me in my sense that Stargate, in both its incarnations, holds a mirror up to America's foreign policy in the same way that Star Trek used to, back in the day.
Huh. Because I so don't see this -- at least I don't see that it's a particularly thoughtful or subtle mirror. It's all, "hey, the Genii are like the Taliban the way they hate us, let's have them do something awful and then we can have a morally-complex discussion about the appropriate response!"
It's a reflection of a certain type of American foreign policy, but not a reflection that really informs us particularly well. But then, neither did the Star Trek analogies. t shudders at the thought of the black-and-white people episode

If I only had a brain...
Has SG done the "alternate reality where we're all EVOL" episode yet? Because those are always fun.

They've only done the AU where they're dorks and the AU where Teal'c is still evil. And the AU where they're all dead.

And the AU where Sam had a different rank, briefly, as Daniel tuned the mirror.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The space-hippies bugged me more.

Then there was the VisionU where Daniel became a megalomaniac, betrayed all of his friends, and blew up Moscow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
About misogyny - does no one ever throw an insult that doesn't reflect their prejudices? I'm certainly not above going through other people's rubbish to put someone down.

During the Holiday season, there was a "Dead Ringer's Christmas Special" which featured a short sketch called "Christmas at Doctor Who's".
Unfortunately I had to ahem the whole bloody thing to see the one sketch (and the openeing credits). I have therefore taught myself how to use Windows Movie Maker to edit it down to the Opening theme music and the Dr Who sketch, and uploaded it here: [link] (approximately 14 MB)
Not really spoilery for the New Who, but you never can tell.
