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, two of the three female Cylons we know have "manipulate man through use of sexual/romantic wiles" as part of their character, and so far none of the four male Cylons. Bugs me a little, though I don't think it's intentional.

See? Leoban should have his day to even things up a little. And Simon. He should, too. All in the interest of an unbugged Katie, naturally. Purely altruistic on my part.

On a different note - I wonder whether we'll get to see all twelve models in S3. I'm going to guess not, but I wonder. We've seen how many so far? Sharon, Six, Leoban, Dean Stockwell, PR guy, Lucy Lawless, Simon - that's seven. Am I missing anyone?

And I guess there's nothing to stop them from making more, different human models.

Who are you? The new Number Six...

Cult TV series The Prisoner is to be remade into a six-part series for Sky One, the broadcaster has confirmed.

Director of programmes Richard Woolfe promised a "thrilling reinvention" of the drama about an ex-secret agent trapped in an isolated village.

"If Doctor Who set the standard, The Prisoner raises the bar," he said.

The original series ran for 17 episodes on ITV in 1967, and starred Patrick McGoohan. Christoper Eccleston has been linked with the new show's lead role.

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.

Huh. So the question what classic British Sci-Fi show is CE going to star in the ressurection of after they finish this one?

Apparently his goal is to play ALL of the 1960's British TV characters without real names.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I can see it. Apart from WHO, the other roles I've seen him in have been dour to batshit insane (sometimes the same movie).

Now I want to start casting Number 2s for the series. I'm not sure 6 (heh) episodes is enough. I know the original series started running out of ideas, and so they started throwing in Western episodes and recycled DANGER MAN scripts, but I'd say there were at least 9 or so episodes that felt absolutely necessary.

Hey, if we move forward to the 70s he could play... er, I think it would have to be Avon. I can't picture him as Blake. Well, not without a wig.

"The Prisoner is like Pandora's box - it's the ultimate conspiracy thriller," said Damien Timmer, executive producer of the show.

Thriller? What? They're going to make it into Lost, aren't they? I really don't need that.

Feh. Leave things that were good the first time alone. There's plenty of crap to recycle.
