Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Speaking of the comics, is anyone else reading the mini-comics at the official site. [link] The one about Hiro is pretty good.
Hiro also has a blog [link] in which he asks a question somebody here asked last week:
The comic book retold everything I did yesterday. (?-?) I found the author's address on the back of the comic book and decided to go meet him. Do all American comic books put the address of their author's on the back? If so, I need to buy an X-Men so I can meet Stan Lee or Tim Sale.
I thought it was important to him. It read to me like he has feelings for Simone, but here she is kissing someone else.
Okay, I'll buy that, but the random Claire/nerdboy scene seemed like it was just there for the nifty transition.

Okay, wow, I open up the first one, and the first thing I see is NISSAN VERSA. Like...whee, product placement? But ooh, Kali. I'll have to read these later.
I've become Chrono in Chrono Trigger or Trunks in Dragon Ball. I've become the hero in my own RPG. Except that this isn't a game. This is real. There is no saved game or cheat codes. I get no Phoenix Downs.
HA HA HA HA. Oh, Hiro's blog. It does make him even more into a stereotypical geek character, but it's too amusing that they're not just using the typical geek references. I mean, Phoenix Downs? That's hardcore.

I missed that one. I didn't get home till 8:40, so I missed most of the episode. I'll try catching it online later.

They're not "mini-comics", they're (6-page) "graphics novels".
I think that makes them more "graphic short stories."

Details, details...
How can the artist guy do 32+ pages of comics a month, paint all of those paintings, and still find the time to get high?
Cocaine?
Less facetiously, one of my classmates prepped for her senior exhibition by getting plastered two nights before and doing something like twelve 24" x 30" paintings in 48 hours. I suppose that sort of workload is even more feasible if you're taking something that makes you manic.
Details, details...
Not if you have to shelve them correctly

From Hiro's blog.
“I don’t even know where to start. You’re about to be critted by a wall of text.”
This cracks me up to no end.
I think that seeing his ex kissing someone totally sends him over the edge.
Okay...that cheerleader? Could she be clumsier? How often do you hear about football practice bystanders having their heads knocked all the way round? I could buy it if they were examples of her being careless, but that and the stick in the back of the head were just plain bad luck.
I loved the Nissan product placement. That's how it should be done. It's perfectly in character for Hiro to insist on, and you shift the clumsiness of the placement to the comic, for which you're not taking responsibility.
