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.
I thought Father's Day was spectacular, and am busy explaining to my writing board why it's a case of excellent construction and execution.
It's really hard to write the classic "we altered time, now we must fix it" story without being obvious and pedestrian. Father's Day pulled it off, and then some. It's like doing an "aliens made us screw" story and making it GREAT.
Betsy, how does it compare to the FARSCAPE ep., the title of which escapes me, but where every time they tried to fix the past, they just kept making things worse.
smonster, thanks so much for the link. It'll come in handy. I love the comments/reactions during the episodes from the Fear Forecasters.
Should I ahem the Doctor Whos, or wait for them to be shown on SciFi?
I don't think I can wait. What's the likelihood of their being released on DVD (in the States)?
Zenkitty,
Supposedly, the box set comes out in the US in July.(Hmm, after the eps have all aired on Sci Fi. How conveeeeenient.)
Didn't somebody upthread mention that there were DVDs (pricey ones) available through Amazon.Canada? Don't know if that region plays in the US though.
Canadian DVDs should play fine here -- they're Region 1/NTSC. The only difference is they may have French subtitles turned on by default.
The Canadian DVDs are Region 1, so they are fine for US DVD players. The price is a bit high (about $81 on Amazon.ca after the exchange rate), but comparable to what the US price will be on July 4, the release date here. Originally, they were going to release in both the US and Canada in February, but the US date got pushed back after SciFi picked it up.
In fact, here's a [link]
eta Looks like Amazon will be giving a decent discount when the US release happens: [link]
Wow, Amazon is cheaper than DeepDiscountDVD.
