Sorry, I misread the question.
Sigh.
ETA: Misread not misunderstood.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.
'Objects In Space'
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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
right. I remember pariah, but didn't know that Chloe knew until this episode. I'm glad that he knew that she knew. I remember the ep when Clark lost his memory. At the end of the ep, after he gets his memory back, he asks her if he did anything unusual and she says "yes, you trusted me." *sniff*

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have to wonder how much of it comes from a natural inclination to root for the underdog, but it amazes me how often the "sideline" character ends up much more interesting than the obvious love interest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, if you cast Kristin Kreuk as the love interest, you're stacking the deck against it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Well, she's very pretty. In an Inara's-Little-Sister kind of way. Evidently they were looking for eyecandy rather than thespian skills...and, to be fair, this is what got Tom Welling cast. So I can live with it.
And by live, of course, I mean porn.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Love interests tend to get cast by the hotness of the actress' looks. Quirky supporting characters tend to get cast by personality and acting ability. The latter are almost always more interesting than the former, though not necessarily more popular.

I checked imdb and the chick who plays Lois will be 28 this year. And she looks it.

I can't see why one wouldn't include chemistry in a love interest casting process.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
KK frightens me. I suspect she may be a robot, because no human being has skin that smooth.
