Ok- I was simply trying to help out ChiKat and her request to know if the websiodes are spoilery at all- I would call them spoliery on the extra promo content at the end, which may also be in commecials aring on the sci-fi chanel. Not trying to step on toes here...
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.
'Underneath'
Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Webisodes would be white-fonted. It's the same as it would be for the BBC broadcasts of Doctor Who that some folks may have downloaded somehow.

Not to worry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
So, I took the plunge and watched the first 3 webisodes. So far, there's nothing so earth shattering (for me) as to spoil, so I will continue to watch. Yay!
Also, I did jump at the end and turn them off before the S3 promos at the end. I can wait on that stuff.

No official word yet on the pick up... and bless that heartland!!!
Although Andy, Jamie and I had big meeting to day talking about season two. It's not so much an "if" as a "how many". We're all on the same page about what worked and what didn't. It was a great debriefing and prep.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear.... one more to go...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, yay, yay on the talks about season two!
ETA: I mean, I know we don't have a guarantee or anything, but having meetings discussing possibilities is a heck of a lot better than someone sheepishly saying, "Didn't anyone tell you..." when you try to bring the subject up.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
As I understand it, 'chav' was Gypsy slang for 'child', that became cockney slang for 'child', so before the emergence of chav culture, it was pejorative when applied to an adult. The word is loaded with a heck of a lot of racial and class connotations and when it's thrown around in a derogatory manner is quite queasy-making.
Huh. It seems to have entered into the popular lexicon while I was abroad. Or possibly just while I wasn't paying attention. The Scottish word is 'Ned', but I can't think of what the Northern equivalent would be. Um. Possibly it's redundant, inasmuchas the vasty vast majority of us ARE Chavs or Neds, and it's the middle class ones who are the picked-on minority in schools. (...er, or that could just be my issues. Carry on. Nothing to see here. Um.)

Sorry, sorry! HAD planned to ask if anyone knew anything about Heroes. From the imdb blurb it sounds like X Men or Mutant X, but pitched at the lycraphobic non-comic book crowd.

Thanks CFerg! Crossing fingers and toes and settling in for the marathon tomorrow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm really loving it. It's not so much like X-Men as, say, The 4400, in that it takes a more realistic, down-to-earth approach of how regular people would deal with superhuman powers.

This sounds promising:
Variety - The pickup of "Eureka" is a no-brainer, as it has performed solidly in the Nielsen ratings.
