See above where I mentioned C. Thomas Howell. You know how you can always tell by Cate Blanchett's presence that you're going to get a thought-provoking production? C. Thomas Howell is like that, only substitute "crappy" for "thought provoking."
Mal: You know, you ain't quite right. River: It's the popular theory.
'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.

Our wings are not tired.
Buck up soldier. Even the kids left the room. I think I'll look through the DVD stack...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For some reason I'm suddenly getting a shitload of interference on my WiFi network. So I can either abandon the internet, find a long network cable, or abandon the movie and move my laptop into my bedroom. I've chosen the last option.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I've watched all the Twilight Zones from the first series. It's a weird feeling to be deleting all the episodes from my season pass.
With its timing, Weir's comment about John's beard is a tidy double entendre.

Bwah, ita.
I was unimpressed by Epiphany, really. And the beard was really distracting.

I think Joe Flanigan should probably stick to acting and writing nonfiction.
Though if the Stargate producers are looking to have their actors contribute scripts, both Christopher Judge and Ben Browder do good enough work to warrant staff positions.

I thought Epiphany was harmless--didn't bring on the hate like some of the early S1 episodes did.
But I found the reaction shots very distracting. Could have saved ten minutes by excising them.

I thought the bits outside of the Ricola commercialvillage/fields were engaging enough, but the pastoral stuff would have lost me if it didn't center on an actor that I could happily watch in still picture form for 30 minutes.

All is well that ends in pizza.
So, finally got around to watching SGA...about two minutes into the pastoral society, I turned to DH and said "It's a Monster from the ID!" Kind of disappointed to be proved right.
Yup. So Tempest/Forbidden Planet of them.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And the beard was really distracting.
Especially since the only other guy he interacts with? Has a soul patch. So clearly, there were precision shaving tools around, just not where unenlightened people can find them.
