'Trash'
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 difference is that one doesn't have much of a choice with one's TV writers, as one does not make hiring and firing decisions.
My choice to read a fanfic writer's work or not pretty much has the same effect as my choice to watch a broadcast program or not... both will still be there whether or not I'm among those being entertained.
Fanfic writers are just as capable of writing good romance as TV writers are of writing bad and cliched romance.
yep, and you are one of them. But, when I think "fanfic" I think, in general, bad. I read one genre (go CLex!), and there are probably only 10 authors that I bother to read. I mean, I try to give everyone a shot, but so much of it is so bad.
Sturgeon's Revelation: "Ninety percent of everything is crud."
Oh, dear me. Admittedly, I missed if there were images in Times Square, but this handily beats the Coupling promotion. There might be a ratings/watchability factor there, but since when does the press care?
Ha! CFerg on Tivo: [link]
Mmm...Patricia Neal. One word: Hud. She's one of my all time favs.
TiVo profile is just too cute!
Tonight: Officers! The Devil has created an army of Starks!
Will sadly have to keep my nose out of here once Eureka airs on the East coast. Due to work I'm not going to have a chance to watch anything on my DVR (including last week's and this week's Blade) until Friday afternoon.
Finished the Galactica 2.0 DVDs yesterday and the Cylon Virus/Logic Bomb plotline (as well as organic cylons apparently having a fiber-optic port that goes "click" inside their arm, but still be biologically indistinguisable from humans) really bugs. I realize computers tend to be very hand-wavy on TV, particularly sci-fi, but after all the talk of how Galactica is completely unnetworked in the mini-series, I fail to see how making a physical connection between the FTL and Navigation computers allowed the virus to spread into electrical, diagnostic and atmospheric control systems. Not to mention the fact that the only reason the Cylons were able to hack the rest of the fleet was because of the navigational program Baltar developed, that Six put backdoors into, being installed on the military ships (but not, as was explicitly stated, Galactica.) But putting hardwire connections between a couple of Galactica's systems suddenly opens the door for them to hack in?
Other than that, I'm really enjoying season 2 so far and GF and I are impatiently waiting for the release of the 2nd half of the season.
I actually liked last week's Blade, but won't mention why until so as not to spoil anything for you. This week is the season finale, so make sure to tape it if you won't be around. According to what I've seen while wandering around on other boards, the network still hasn't decided whether or not to renew it for a second season. So we may be left with a lot of story threads dangling in mid-air.
My DVR is set to record it. So barring any foul-ups, I should get it.
