Part Troll is one of my most favourite stand up shows of all time. If 'twere possible, I would make an honest man of Bill Bailey.
Or I'll just lunge wildly at the pope...

'War Stories'
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.

Darkplace is a British horror show from the 80s that was TOO SCARY TOO AIR.
Or possibly a send-up.
Aha, now they swear that there will be DVDs in July. Finally!

It was a send-up. It aired in, like, 2003.
Were you joking? I can't tell.
If you like bizarre Channel 4 comedies, I'd recommend Nightingales.

Heh. Sorry; yes, I was joking. It just seemed like the easiest way to describe the show.
Nightingales sounds intriguing. I'm at the mercy of my supplier, but I'll add it to the list. I'm still working on Monkey Dust and Smack the Pony.

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.
I'm guessing no one watched Smallville last night, or at least couldn't give enough of a crap to post about it.
Bleh.
And I thought Smallville was originally supposed to be a 5-seasons only sort of thing?

It was good. Lex became Zod. And Brainiac is causing the Apocalypse and Clark was imprisoned in one of those flying prismy things that Zod had been imprisoned in before.

sumi- I saw it. I just didn't care for it. Hence my "bleh."
Also, the "lets put the entire cast in mortal peril" cliffhanger annoyed me greatly. If they left it at Clark getting sent to the Phantom Zone I'd be all about "I wonder how he's going to get out of it?" But with the entire cast (minus Zod!Lex and Lana) being in "OMG, they're gonna die!!!!!11!!" situations, I'm thinking "Wow, instead of one asspull in the season premiere, we get to have 5."

How do they get anywhere near canon from here? That's what I want to know.
I mean, as an adventure story it was fine -- I'm just not sure how it fits as a Superman story, you know?

Fun. Well, fun enough; I'm not so much a fan of the sketches as I am a fan of Sally Phillips. Of that whole pool of thirtysomething, British comic actors, only Jessica Stevenson and Kevin Eldon can match her. Which, on reflection, isn't that impressive a claim considering how specific it is.
...
So, yeah. Sally Phillips.
