Buffistas

Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

the name Jack Carter

I have to interject -- you know, Colin even kinda looks like (a young) Michael Caine. That was the name of the titular character in Get Carter, the awesomest mod revenge-picture Britain ever produced.

In summary, it's not just Hollywood that needs a new name. I think we'd all be just as happy with a slew of Bob Chandlers and Dave Coopers and Jimmy Shipwrights.

What ever happened to the Franks? There used to be Franks and Joes and Ricks and Davids on television. Now they're all Jack.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Also: Jack Malone from Without a Trace and Jack Sparrow from PotC. Seriously, they are like whack-a-moles.

Hey, at least Joss and Tim tried to name everyone some variation of William for a while.

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

The idea of Daniel and Teal'c in a sitcom land makes me laugh and laugh.

Teal'c is made for sitcoms. (Daniel, not so much. Daniel is possibly made for primetime soaps, though.)

Bwah! The other day it occurred to me that Daniel Jackson is a good proof to my argument that I grew to despise the character Spike, rather than just all the hubbub around him. Because if I were particularly vulnerable to conflating the two, I wouldn't still be enjoying Shanks' performance while rolling my eyes at some of fandom's excesses over his character.

Art Crawl!!!

Michael Rosenbaum gets his props in an article about actors deserving of Emmy Nominations:

Michael Rosenbaum, Smallville: Forget Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey: Rosenbaum has given us the most interesting portrayal of Superman villain Lex Luthor in the past 30 years. It helps that he’s playing a younger Luthor, whose journey toward pure evil is more fascinating than Clark Kent’s journey toward pure heroism. Rosenbaum has spent five seasons shifting Lex ever so slightly to the wrong side of the moral line, with internal and external forces beating him down. While Hackman played up Lex’s flamboyance and Spacey turns him into a sociopathic clown, Rosenbaum has had to rely on subtle change, a more difficult actor’s trick.

(I whitefonted the Spacey description for those who haven't seen that movie.)
