I just re-read my Farscape posts and remembered how much I loved that show. The end.
I started to rewatch it just two days ago. Yea,. I agree, good stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anyone watching Nightmares and Dreamscapes? It started so well, with the Hurt soldier one. I loved the creepiness of both sides of the battle, and the lack of dialogue.
But then Crouch End was just strange and weak. The Tom Berenger one with the painting--I liked it up until the ending, which left me feeling I'd missed something.
And then there was The Fifth Quarter. Another weak ending. From Wikipedia, it seems that they changed it from the short story, but I just don't see why.

Art Crawl!!!
I watched the first two and have taped the others but haven't gotten around to watching them.

I've been sort of idly watching. The William Hurt one was enjoyable, and I thought William H. Macy carried his episode along quite well. The others, eh. They've generally been a waste of good actors.

Ah, yes. I liked the William H Macy one too, but thought it petered out at the end. He did a good job with the two guys.
The actors are why I'm watching it. Idly is a good adverb.

Maybe it only works if you've got a guy named William in it.

I watched the Hurt one ("Battleground," I think?) and thought it was fun. Plus Brian Henson directed!
But the reviews I saw seemed to agree that after that one, the rest of the series was meh. And I wasn't familiar with any of other stories, so I didn't feel all that intrigued.

We have been too. Loved the William Hurt one, my son got a huge kick out of the end (I remember reading that one). I liked the William Macy one too, he did a good job with the "noir" dialog. The Tom Beringer one scared the crap outta both kids so I was sorta glad that the Last Quarter was so-so. I know that I've probably read them all, but trying to dredge them up from my memory is tough. I think that King is hard to translate to the screen sometimes because it's all in how you read it and see it in your mind, more than anything.

Quick! I spent the day arguing with a neo-con and listening to how great my friend's weekend with her BF was! Someone point me at some SG-1 and/or SGA crackfic!
Go go gadget hivemind!
