WTF indeed.
And we live to fight another day.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You know, maybe L&O is just subtle scifi.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
What, you didn't see the episode where it was discovered that they're all actually shapeshifting slugs?
Great episode. See, there's this twist at the 20-minute-mark...

I've decided that all those CSI shows, and Bones, are totally science fiction. For instance, Bones had an episode where they digitized all the information about DC's underground utility lines, in like, an hour, and put them all together in a 3-D hologram to figure out where the bad guys where. Completely ignorant of the fact that it would take months, probably, to digitize all that information and make it geographically consistent, not to mention the whole hologram thing.
Stupid.

If I only had a brain...
House is sci-fi, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, 'Suela. This is TV, where all scientific liquids are pretty colors despite that in any real lab, EVERYTHING IS CLEAR, and chromatography takes three hours instead of three days.

Thrive to spite them
I could sort of deal with the compressed time issues with tests and the stupid exposition driven conversations. But now that the CSIs are doing the actual questioning of suspects I just can't watch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
now that the CSIs are doing the actual questioning of suspects I just can't watch.
They've been doing that all along, if memory serves.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
They've been doing that all along, if memory serves.
and it annoys me every time. SO unrealistic. But then, I've never been in a Vegas interrogation, so maybe that's the way they do it out there.
