Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have no ahemming capability, with the paranoid person who maintains the firewalls, moats, blockers, portcullises, and anti-everything-ware on this computer. So I may resort to hounding the cable company. They're used to it, I'm sure.

Thanks, Daniel.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

That sounds more like a cable TV issue. I had to fight tooth and nail for my calbe company to admit that the people at the call center didn't know squat about how cable TV works. It took me literally years of calls to finally get a tech out that would ferret out the issue.

Our local UPN station has been a snowstorm the past month on Comcast. I tried to cut them a break by asking if this was a known issue with the station, but, no, I was told it wasn't. (The station itself removed its email the engineer link, which is suggestive.)

It's been repeated technician visits just about every week as the Fox, NBC, CBS and ABC stations have all had the look and sound of stations your old antenna (remember antennas?) could barely pull in. I've never been so tempted by satellite.

is anybody else getting SciFi in HD?

Not here. Though I don't get the WB or UPN in HD yet either. I have hopes that, maybe, that will change once the CW launches.

Yes, I've been spoiled.

Our wings are not tired.

SciFi in HD would make me revisit the decision to wait on HD equipment.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

No matter where they're going with it, unless it involves pod people

Robot Army vs. Hive Mind Alien Army! Like Alien vs. Predator, with less saliva and hopefully with better-looking unclothedness.

Wouldn't it be funny to have a whole long story-arc about cylon angst and human angst and oh the bitterness and then have aliens invade and start beating up on them both?? Instant rapprochement!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Someone here once said that BSG was shown in HD on another channel, but I don't know where/when. (The podcast for Scar mentioned that they do shoot in HD, which I'd been curious about.)

My cable reception was looking increasingly shitty, and I was told that my analog cable box was to blame. True or not, the digital cable does look much much better.

There may also be some settings on your HD set that need tweaking before it can properly display SD video.

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

Oh, looks like they're about a half-season behind then. Nevermind!

Thanks tommy, that's it! Gosh, it's purty. I can't tell you just how pretty it really is. Honestly, it's even better than the dvds. Which, you know, may just be that phenomenon that happens when you have the boxed set sitting there and it comes on the tv and you watch it, even with commericials? Yeah, like that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

This week's SciFi Saturday night monster is going to be... Rottweiler!
