I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'


Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"  

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."

I, for one, welcome the new Daniel Craig James Bond.

Same here. Even moreso, if he really were an alien overlord. Alas, he's just British.

(Although, and this really belongs in Movies, nobody but nobody looks comfortable or natural playing baccarat any more, the way people don't look comfortable in tuxedoes. So I can't imagine how they'll pull off the first 20 minutes of Casino Royale, before they get to the stuff-blows-up parts. I saw the trailer and was like -- dudes, it's a card game. My grandma could kick your ass at this game.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are exceedingly harsh. Just as I lay my entire fate at the feet of Mr. Craig, I also hope that they've hired actors who can act like they're comfortable and natural in tuxedoes as well as playing baccarat.

It's a fair trade.

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

Tuxedoes are as unforgiving on a man as lingerie on a woman: exposing not external flaw (those can be hid, artfully) but internal bold smoove.

Actually, I bet in the alternate universe where boys go to finishing school instead of girls, learning how to wear a tuxedo (or any bespoke outfit) would be a whole semester-long class.

Harsher still. I have definitely seen men carry off the bespoke in recent days, and have no more beef with men in tuxedoes than most women in white or black tie attire. And, honestly, lingerie's not a big attitude problem for me either.

Art Crawl!!!

Hmmm, did Baal say that Vala was his wife?

I didn't remember that.

Oh, and why are there multiple Baals?

I have obviously not been paying enough attention.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know someone who, until recently, made his living dealing baccarat. I'm guessing the people at the table were pretty comfortable with it.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, and why are there multiple Baals?

Yay! Just a drive by post since I can't watch until later. But Baal is more fun than the Ori. He and Vala could be a fun couple.

Volume III coming soon. Whee!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Ba'al cloned himself at some point. What I hadn't realized is that all of the clones have snakes. That would make them hard to tell apart.

I will not comment on the stupidity of what Sam did, because SGA made me so happy, I am inarticulate.
