Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

Down, I suspect, based just on the name.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think there's a weapon of some kind? With curved pointy bits? And possibly a chick who gets held hostage by a Dark Lord in a black stone castle with the weapon?
I think the Dark Lord wears a funky helmet.

So far, amusingly cheesy, but I'm flipping around.
And possibly a chick who gets held hostage by a Dark Lord in a black stone castle with the weapon?
Yes, this just happened. Well, the kidnapping part. She hasn't gotten to the castle or the lord yet.
Also slayers=bad guys in this world. Boo.

I LOVED Krull.
I was also, umm... (checks IMDB) 9.
Huh. Liam Neeson's in it? Dude, it's totally time for a rewatch-and-cringe.

Daniel ... thanks for that. The Tom Baker voice was spot on.

Oh, yes - that was funny. Dude looked eerily like Tennant, too.
Krull -- it's kind of like the story of a video game. Kind of fun. Our hero has a couple of quests to manage before he faces the beast that guards the place where the princess is, I think.
Oh, good heavens. There's a lava pit. It's Zelda!! (We wastedspent a lot of time on Zelda in college)

All is well that ends in pizza.

On the web site for the Dead Ringers group, they have a "Candid Camera" type feature, where he arranges to baffle a tanning salon employee.
I loved the bit with the tinfoil, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I LOVED Krull.
ME TOO!!
But dude, looking at it now...damn. It really wasn't that good of a movie, huh.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I'm hoping to, once I can figure out how to get my grubby hands on it. I've heard so much about Eccleston (and Capt. Jack!) that I really, really want to see it.
The DVDs will be released before the show ever airs in the US. The beeb has announced (somewhere) a Valentine's Day release for Doctor Who The Complete First Season (yes, I know) Box Set. Amazon is taking names, as in email addresses so they can notify you when it becomes available.
If you'd like an early look at Capt. Jack, or rather at John Barrowman, who plays him, go see The Producers. He has a cameo, a choice one: he's Lead Tenor Stormtrooper in "Springtime For Hitler." If you're gonna do a cameo there are worse ones than lead singer in the show's big musical within a musical number. A serious Broadway voice he's got. :: )
