It qualifies as "unaired in the US discussion", I think.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, well in any case, I didn't think it should be in blackfont. Thanks.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
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

All is well that ends in pizza.
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

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

People, did we learn nothing from the movie version of The Wiz? This is a BAD IDEA!

Maybe they could do a scifi reimagining of "Annie." It turns out that Daddy Warbucks is developing A.I. weapons technology. They all live in a fantastic alternate reality, where no one has eyes....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The gun will come out tomorrow...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Promo Guy seems to be promising that we'll learn the Why and Why Now of it, perhaps that will have some bearing on this.
The Heroes Promo Guy? Not so reliable. I think they show him soundless clips of the show and make him guess what to say.
