Not that I'm not thrilled at any and all inclusions of hockey in genre TV, but wouldn't the Dresden character as written be a tailor-made viewpoint character for SciFi's stereotypical audience?
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

I'm so utterly confused by the metaphysics of the SPN verse that I think I'm going to have to take notes on the bus home to try to figure out what we know, what we don't know, and what I think about it all.
So, um, ita, I'll try to get back to you on that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

No clue. The reason cited was Sci-Fi wanted the character to have more mass appeal. Which just makes me shake my head.
You're the Sci-Fi channel. The vast majority of your audience are geeks. The masses you're trying to appeal to aren't going to watch your channel anyway!

Yes, but Sci-Fi, bless their souls, hates geeks. They'd much rather have 40 mainstream people watching occasionally than 20 committed geeks watching and rewatching obsessively. In fact, they're afraid that being known as the channel with the geek audience drives away the non-geeks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
How do bras save Farscape ? Female demographic representation?

I wasn't surprised by the hell thing on SPN but that could be because at the Paley Festival, Eric Kripke dropped hints about the urban legend that Lawrence is next to a hellmouth. (very vague possible spoilers for future storylines)

Sigh.
And the Dresden Files right before it?
Damnit -- I can't have TAR in conflict with that!

Yes, Nathan is mean. (And Claire totally got the outsider vote.)

Well, that was unhelpful. People come to me for answers. You already have yours. Thanks for playing.
