That was probably one of the most viscerally upsetting hours of TV I've ever seen.
That's how it felt to me. "Pick a Number" was more than chilling.
Right. Sir. Honey.

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 learned from my flist today (could be old news, but what the hell) that Katee Sackhoff and Nathan Fillion will be starring in a movie together - White Noise2: The Light.
Also, an interview with Katee Sackhoff on KUFO in Portland that has some funny bits. Be warned, it is a bit spoilery: [link]

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, hell yeah. Brilliant, brilliant - yet disturbing - stuff.

sumi, yeah, every week I really do intend to watch it, but then I get distracted. I usually remember to turn Survivor on halfway through, so I'll try to make a note to change channels afterwards this week.

Finally got to "Dalek," which was much better. Except for the score.
And I remembered to watch "Supernatural." Which makes me happier because I don't expect it to be good. I was a bit sad that the boys are wearing less mascara these days, though. I learned that, as if they aren't evil enough, vampires always drive with their highbeams on. Jerks.

Well, they are evil.
(Perhaps that was to blind on-coming traffic for easier snacking?)

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.
Not that Supernatural is always big with the sense-making anyway, but considering vampires in the Supernatural-verse are nigh-invulnerable with strength, speed and senses superior to a human and can multiply fairly easily, I find it hard to believe Daddy Winchester would actually believe them hunted to extinction.
And then Smallville was a lame Saw rip-off with too-little Chloe and a very non Clark/Supes threatening of Lionel by Clark. Bleh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Paramount is breathing life into its "Star Trek" franchise by setting "Mission: Impossible III" helmer J.J. Abrams to produce and direct the 11th "Trek" feature, aiming for a 2008 release.
I, personally, don't consider this an improvement over Rick Berman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do consider it an improvement. If he holds to form, it'll be only loosely tied to canon, but hella exciting.
And Trek could totally do with some excitement.

If this account of Abrams' involvement with the Superman movie is reliable, then it means the man has an utter contempt for canon.
