There is so much I can't say.
We do have a spoiler thread....
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I have to say, the mouthbreather from Wonderfalls being the voice of the house cracks me up.
Wait a minute. It's not actually the Mouthbreather -- uhm, let me look him up; Neil Grayston -- who's voicing S.A.R.A.H., is it? 'Cause that's some damn good female vocal impersonation.
You arc stuff for an airing sequence
OMG YOU SAID THE MAGIC WORD, "arc". We love arcs.
Count me in as one of the people loving the Jack & Jo dynamic. I think Jack bounces best off of (wait -- that looks wrong. Ah well) Jo and Henry. The rest of the cast is starting to gel as well, but these three are already *tight*.

It is! Isn't that hysterical? He's frighteningly good at it.

Wow. He is VERY [/Jim] good. That's kind of... hot in a funny way. And it's making me want to see him in a dress and eyeliner. What?
ETA: If Colin posts a couple of more times, we're going to need a new Box Set thread before Friday. Yay new thread!

That was something that took some work. (Neil deciding how to do SARAH)
They all got together on the looping stage (some via ISDN) and hammered it out. Neil said it took a really long time. He was sort of amazed how much dialogue she has.
But he got paid more for doing a "second character" in the show - which we loved because he always got screwed with turn around.
Turn around is the time between wrap and call.
There was one day he worked 14 hours and then got 4 hours off and was called back to do it again. He went home to his new apartment that had no furniture (he was moving), slept in an 70's orange armchair for 2 hours and came back.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, long day.
It was fun to see the bits of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I did that show when I was a teen and it was a great experience. Good choice I say. Our production was much more traditional.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Neil is great. it's been a while since i sneaked a peak at his livejournal. first entry is this. segways are dangerous.
watched the ep tonight. not my favorite, but Colin your comedic timing gets me every time. those reviews that ita posted earlier? the one that said you captured bone-tired disbelief to perfection? couldn't agree more with it. though i might throw sarcastic in there for good measure.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh look who's here!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andi and I just finished watching episode 3.
Fun. Andi was disturbed by the memory wipe at first, but I'll let her describe why, if she wants.
Me? I like the way the denizens of Eureka have aided the sheriff with a couple of gizmos. The smart car telling him the approaching car is exceeding the speed limit, so he doen't have to activly deal with the drudgery of getting out radar eqipment and checking everyone. Although I'd suggest a wi-fi or bluetooth based ticket machine/pda/tablet that prints out a hard copy for the motorist would be useful...
I like that Jack is basically a modern Andy Griffith. In the Andy Griffith Show, everyone around him had something odd, something he was good at, Andy was good at being the reasonable one who cut through the crap. Jack's not dumb, not a luddite, embraces the technology that works for him, and respects the geeks around him. Tech may not be his thing, but he's not daunted by it.
I also like Henry. He's comfortable enough in his life that he wears what he likes to wear because he's certain to dash off and get down to work. We may see him in the future out of those work clothes, to which I can envision him saying to Jack. "I have other clothes. I just like to protect them. I'm very messy, sometimes. "
Some of the other characters could become one-note, but only 3 eps in, too early to tell, and it would be a great disservice to beg trouble.
