'The Message'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

I love the promo! And I hate the fact that it's not for another 12 days.

12 Days 'til new Supernatural!

And something about a BSG direct to video movie? Hmmm.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah, sumi, I squeed a bit when I saw that. It makes perfect sense. Universal want to do DVD Premiere projects, but they want ones with low costs (BSG sets already available) and a built in fan base for it to be profitable. BSG is pretty much as good a test case as anybody could hope for.

Thrive to spite them

I watched Hell House and it was good! TPTB know how to bring the angst and the funny (which is important). Loved the WWBD ? exchange and also "Sweet Lord" "of the Rings!"

I'd love to see some kind of crossover fic where Andrew runs into those guys.

Suela, thanks for the link to that story. Very much.

Do we all know that Ackles was originally cast as Sam? And that only after Padelecki came on board did they tell Jensen that he'd be playing the elder brother?

Not that Jared doesn't do a wonderful job as Sam, but as I think about it, I'd really like to have seen what Ackles would have brought to the role of Sam. A lot depends on casting, though, and with Jensen as Sam, who would they have cast as Dean. When I posted this in my LJ, Plei suggested Christian Kane.

Heh. Let us all just think about that for a minute.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Heh. Let us all just think about that for a minute.
I think we're all in our bunks. Again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Most of the people I can think of would be slightly too old, especially if you left JDM in the role of John, which of course you should.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ackles (like Chris Malone) is one of the few actors who can pull off both types. I'd bet that Sam would have been less rough than Padelecki plays him, although that would have left a lot of room for change over time.

Yeah, the age is definitely a factor. Facially, Ackles has aged more between this year and last than he had since Smallville or DA and SPN season 1. Still hella pretty, and I actually like him better not so ethereally pretty. But any older at all, and Morgan wouldn't be believable as Dad.

I agree that Ackles' Sam would be different, less rough, as you say. So much would depend on who'd play Dean, though.

Too bad we'll never know.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There's a new "Graphic Novel" up on NBC's Heroes site. The first part of a 4-parter. It could be considered spoilery in that it introduces a new character we'll be meeting later on the show. [link]

Plei suggested Christian Kane

Even taking ages into consideration, I can't see CK in any of this. Perhaps because I've just never been into him. I can see that he's cute and all, but he just leaves me meh.

I've finally finished all of season 2. Sad that I have to wait until Jan. 11th to have more.
