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.
Dudes, Zach was totally gay! In a frustratingly non-committal way, of course, but... gay! I'm pissed that the show creators are backing down and letting him be de-gayed.
But damn, Kara yelling in Kat's face.? Hot hot hot like a burning thing. So thank you, Jane, for that.
Oh, hell yeah.
he said the motel only ever had nine rooms. How could he have been in room 10 if it never existed?
He said they didn't know at the time that anything had happened on that day--what happened was that room 10 stopped existing. Was made to have never existed.
So, up until that time, there was a room 10, with all those objects in them. As well as the guy from one of Tim's cancelled shows. Then it was pulled from reality both forwards and backwards in time. Leaving just the stuff.
Wait - that guy was from one of Tim's cancelled shows?
Totally didn't recognize him.
Perhaps THAT'S why Room 10 disappeared. (Tim, I mean and his cancelled shows.)
I'd bet three Krispy Kremes that it was the lead from Strange World.
SGA:
OMG! That was just so utterly fantastic. I didn't cry, but there were wavy hands like whoa when Rodney told Zelenka that he's brilliant, and then HUGGING RONON, and healing his scars, and then, OH! the reconciliation scene with John, which consisted of: "You and me, we're good, right?" "Yeah." SO MUCH LOVE. They love him! And he loves them! And they're all one big family! I can't stop smiling.
There are no glitter pens sparkly enough to express how much I love this episode.
Dekker's management de-gayed Zach.
Now Tim Kring's statement makes a lot more sense:
However, it has simply become too complicated behind the scenes to push this issue further with this particular character.
Still really annoying that it happened, but at least we know whose fault it is now.
OK, so any bets on how much bigger the Heroes audience (who apparently actually liked gay Zach) is than the audience this Sarah Connor show may pull in if it actually gets picked up by the network?
Dekker should be looking around for new management.
Yeah, what Matt said.
It really was so out of the blue -- I mean with an audience the size of the audience for
Heroes
you'd think if people were upset about Zach being gay we would have heard something. And did the actor change management recently? Because my understanding is that he's played unambiguously gay characters before.
I agree with Matt, too, unless Dekker's role was always supposed to be limited. I just can't figure out how management of a not-exactly-a-superstar has so much say-so. As to why they'd intervene, maybe they wanted to avoid a type-casting thing? Somewhere (probably on that after elton blog) I read that element of the part wasn't presented to him when he signed. It still seems silly in this day and age.
eta...
It's kind of amusing, considering Jack Coleman's (Mr. Bennett) role as Steven Carrington on
Dynasty.
What happened to The Lost Room? I was enjoying it so much, and then the last fifteen minutes happened.
And yes, that was Tim Guinee, formerly of Strange World.
