'Lessons'
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 love Claire. I didn't realise how much until yesterday. But she's all determined and getting the hang of life and brave and stuff. And such a very lovely smile.
Bryan Fuller said she's the character he loves working on the show for the most. And while she was no Jaye Tyler out of the box, she's been getting her snark (and geek) on pretty hardcore lately, so I can see the connection.
Bryan Fuller and Joss Whedon... bringing the snark to our living rooms via specially empowered young women since 1997.
From The Advocate:
The hit NBC drama Heroes is adding another member to its ensemble with George Takei, Star Trek's Sulu. Takei, who came out in 2005, will play Hiro Nakamura's father on the show.
MADE OF AWESOME.
Vortex, I think that would go in Spoilers Lite.
It qualifies as "unaired in the US discussion", I think.
Oh, well in any case, I didn't think it should be in blackfont. Thanks.
More on the Heroes spoiler(?) posted above ...
This was posted on the <omit actors name> imdb forums...
November 16, 2006 (New York, NY) - On the NBC smash hit Heroes, time-traveling fanboy Hiro Nakamura is insanely obsessed with Star Trek. TV Guide magazine has gotten word that Hiro's father will be played by Trek icon George Takei (Sulu) (in the November 27 issue; on newsstands Thursday, November 23). The new character will be introduced in a January 29 cliff-hanger.
"It was one of those lightning-bolt ideas," creator Tim Kring tells TV Guide.
Masi Oka, who plays Hiro, is also over the moon. "This is absolutely brilliant!" the Tokyo-born actor tells TV Guide. "Hiro's father is this big honcho who shows up in America with his bodyguard. He has this whole elaborate scheme to kidnap his son and take him back to Japan."
Adds Oka, "I just hope I get to say, 'Dad! Sulu is my hero, not you!' The sci-fi fans would love it!"
The Nov. 27 TV Guide hits newsstands next week.
oh yeah!
edited b/c I always get the "greater than" and "less than" symbols the wrong way around.
Oh and if anyone doesn't want to know about the spoiler, avoid buying TV Guide dated November 27
If the whitefont posted by Vortex stays, it might do well to identify the show it pertains to directly in the post, rather than by inference in subsequent posts. t shrug
Mohinder and Co. could be all "we could really use this power! Let's go to Slovakia!"
This sent me to a very Captain Planet place.
It was a yam sham.
Oh you did not.
SCI FI Green-Lights Tin Man
SCI FI Channel has given a green light to Tin Man, a wild SF reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, as its next six-hour original miniseries. Written by Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle (The Pretender), Tin Man (working title) is slated to begin shooting in Vancouver, B.C., in early 2007, with an eye to a December 2007 premiere. Casting is currently underway. SCI FI is re-teaming with RHI Entertainment (Legend of Earthsea) to produce Tin Man.
The miniseries is a sometimes psychedelic, often twisted and always bizarre take on The Wizard of Oz. It centers on DG, a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm filled with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged monkey-bats and attempts to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by "Glitch," an odd man missing half his brain; "Raw," a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage; and "Cain," a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as a "Tin Man"), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG's destiny leads her to a showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined.
