Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
The SGA shots are rather nice, but the SG-1 cast has been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives.
And here I was going to marvel at how realistic the painter made the fabric of their clothing look. Ah well, at least those photos make it much easier to buy Teal'c as an alien.
I'm so annoyed. They at least left the beard stubble and wrinkles on the SGA cast.
Nora, I did the same thing. I didn't expect that much of a real episode, but it so was. I think I'm going to adjust to the new guy just fine.
I just watched Hex.
Not as bad as I thought. but my expectations were low. and I am glad that Themla looks like she will appear as a regular. I liked her and was POed when she was killed off.
But hey! If Pete's a Time Lord, this means I never have to worry about closet space again! Hel-looo Tardis!
Good lord. A Jeeves AU.
head explodes.
I was considering buying Hex last time I was in the UK, but dissing BtVS? Neither classy nor wise as a method of promoting a show that's pitched at that audience. Not unless your show is absolutely fanfuckingtastic. And even then, still not classy.
Looks like they won't be getting my money after all.
Doctor Who and Casanova, however...
Fay -- only watch Hex for free when you are in the mood to snark.
I base my comments on the first two hours only.
Hex's interpretation of taking the genre more seriously mainly consists of a lot of standing around with pretentious music in the background.
I taped the first two hours of Hex. I watched about half an hour of it before setting my vcr to record stuff right over it. It just never caught me. The dialog isn't particularly interesting, the plot looks far too predictable—while they might have surprised me if I'd kept watching, I called something like five plot points in the half-hour I did watch, well before they happened. If I'm pre-writing the show in my head that much, there'd better be some actors I'm really hot for on the screen to distract me. Alas, there weren't.
Just wait till the second season of Hex. That's all I'm saying. It gets very surreal and the writers just seemed to make it up as they went along. Pure car crash TV viewing.

Wait, so it's set in a goth club?
