The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

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.

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

Teal'c's poker face isn't so much a face suited for poker (though it is), but more a face as revealing as a poker.

Where's Daniel?!!?!

Seriously--is there meta to explain his absence? A movie? Gotta go poking around.

Right? Last week I attributed it to his (the actor) workingon Atlanis (the show), but this? This is too weird. He missed the team bonding!

Though, Vala had just as much screen time on Atlantis. I dunno.

Or, no, that was SG-1, wasn't it? Duh. I'm so easily confused.

Back to, "I don't know."

ETA: Oh, except I've also been wondering why no Dr. Lam this season. Maybe she got a more full-time gig?

A friend told me he's taking time to spend with his baby. Recent birth? Maybe part of his contract is that he gets X episodes off?

Oh, well, that would explain Dr. Lam's absence, too, wouldn't it?

And the lengthier nature of it too.

Damn breeding! Getting in the way of my enjoyment.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think fan reaction is another explanation for why Dr. Lam has been given the Maris Crane treatment this year. Lexa seems to not be winning over the Stargate fans in the numbers that the Farscape refugees are.

She was barely in it, even then, wasn't she? Once the big reveal over her relationship was made, I thought of her as having a smaller role than Janet.

But time is a weird thing.

eta, from IMDB:

Wife Lexa Doig gave birth to their second child together, a son named Samuel David on March 19, 2006

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.

Can I just say, as a Doctor Who fan, that I love how few shippers in that fandom are accepting the icky-stupid portmanteau names for ships?

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

Well...what would you call it? Roctor? Rine? Ren?
