'Not Fade Away'
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.
Yeah, I suspect I will catch more bits each repeat viewing of 200. So much fun. So much content.
I tried to watch the Eureka episode I missed while we were travelling this week, but the boys howled at me for watching without them. So I have only seen the first few minutes and I'm trying to be a good mom and wait until they watch with me tomorrow. Grrrrr. If they sleep in I am watching without them. So there.
Andi, here's the full quote for you.

Ah, thank you, my darling .
I was thinking about using that as a tag, too, because, really, on that show, he's the one who has to say it. I mean, with the meta and everything. Just too perfect.
As I saw someone say elsewhere, this episode was that rare love letter to the fans that actually got it right. I laughed through almost every minute of it—so much so during the puppet sequence that I hurt myself. Though for some odd reason I was cringing at the Trek spoof.
Boa vs. Python is on at 5PM EST today, for those of you who might have a thing for that David Hewlett guy.
I think the problem with the Trek scene was that it was a bit too much like Galaxy Quest, so BTDT.
On a second rewatch, I noticed that Martin Wood is also playing the director of the 200th episode of Wormhole X-treme....
The Trek sequence was funnier for being very short -- mercifully short, you might even say.
Notice that Vala thought Daniel into the John Chrichton role?
What, no love for Scarecrow!Cameron, CowardlyCoffeDrinkingLion!Daniel, and TinMan!Teal'c? :)
CowardlyCoffeeDrinkingLion!Daniel would have been a lot cuter if he didn't have the So Very Bored With It All expression that I've come to associate with Michael Shanks' real-life personality.
I seriously think I'd like him a lot more if I'd never, ever heard a single word from him out of character, in marked contrast to Amanda Tapping, Ben Browder, Chris Judge, and Claudia Black. All of the above inspire greater affection with every glimpse of their real selves.
