Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.

A radical reimagining of ABC's 1970s show of the same name, the Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica has wowed critics and fans alike with sophisticated social commentary, nuanced character drama, and rip-roaring action. Even the Peabody Award judges were impressed, citing the series for revitalizing sci-fi television "with its parallax considerations of politics, religion, sex, and even what it means to be 'human.'"
The Museum will screen an episode of the series, followed by Q&A with the cast and creative team.
ETA: Oooh. Trumped by Calli by less than a minute!
Oooooooooooooooooooh. I wonder if E could get us in for free.
(Damnit, it's sold out. So they'd BETTER have press seats available!)
(Um, or else. Something.)
Huh--looking at his birthyear, he was in the same graduating class at Joliet West as Andy Dick. (ETA: Oops--did the math wrong, he would have graduated a year behind AD.)
As for that comment on his bio from the Disney Parks rep who tried to recruit him for a cast role (and whom he turned down to return to the UK) about how the good performers always seem to turn Disney down, all I gotta say is that Michael Berresse, another Joliet native, started out with Disney and then ended up nominated for a Tony a few years ago (he's starring as Zach in the upcoming Broadway revival of A Chorus Line and made his TV-drama debut in a featured role in L&O:CI earlier this season).
JB was born the same year as me. 1967 was a bit of a low-point, demographically, so I'm absurdly pleased to see other folks born then.
Well, I'm not-so-absurdly pleased to see Barrowman anywhere, anyhow. Also, his Cole Porter CD is terrific.
I know someone asked upthread, and I didn't see an answer, but anyone know what's up with SciFi this weekend? No DR. WHO according to my listings, and it looks like it's bad movie weekend. Is this just for the holiday weekend?
Is this just for the holiday weekend?
Yeah, holiday weekends usually equal cheesy marathons of some kind or another on SciFi.
Having not read the article, I think I will be happiest if I assume it's aliens wrestling. Or robots. Or robot aliens.
