'A Hole in the World'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.
I suck with computers, so to not spoil and still let people who want to know what the creator thinks......go to the current podcast. It clearly tells you why and where the headed with LeeDee.
I very much agree, whats the point for either character. To me even showing intrest is not realistic. And especially the way the episodes have unfolded.

I don't think it's good (and that's a spoiler, so you should white it out) -- I think it's poorly executed and irritating. No matter where they're going with it, unless it involves pod people, excuses that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wow.
I've been watching the Stargates and BSG as aired on SciFi, and really hating the crappy video quality.
A new cable channel popped up--I just noticed it this weekend--as part of "The HD package", which, btw, we don't have. But they've been running "Home" all day, and dayum, is this a pretty pretty show.
We also watched an hour of unscored, unVOed footage of sunrise at the mouth of the Crystal River in Florida on DiscoveryHD, plus an hour of "Equator". Awesome.
Question--is anybody else getting SciFi in HD? Is it available? Or are all y'all's SciFi shows as grainy, ghosty, and pixellated as mine?
ETA: and yeah, we got the HD ready widescreen tv. So.spoiled.

Well, I don't have an HD ready tv so even if my cable showed Sci-Fi in HD, I couldn't see it.
The BSG podcasts can be spoilery as I discovered when I started listening to them as part of the season 2 (first half) dvd-set.

Our wings are not tired
I'm not getting Sci-Fi in HD, but I get a very nice picture through digital cable most of the time and I'm watching it on an EDTV Plasma.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Frell frell frell frell frell.
this raises a question I've been wondering about. I think of "frell" as being used as "frelled up", but not as an epithet, where I would use "frak" am I just that much of a grammar geek?

If I only had a brain...
Frell is used as a verb all the time -- my favorite being Aeryn's thunderstruck "Frell me dead" when she saves the kiddies -- and "frelling" and "frelled" as adjectives. I can't dredge up a use of "frell" as a standalone epithet, but it's my word and it does what I tell it to.

why am I suddenly getting images of whips and thigh high leather boots?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
From an aural perspective, I find the consonance of "frak" more satisfying. "frell" needs the "ed" or "ing" to really work, whereas "frakking" just seems like too much work to say.
I don't recall from the show, though.
