'Trash'
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.
One of which was with a rifle butt (buttstroke!
Oh, I agree that a buttstroke would probably take anybody out. Maybe you can tell me, though, if all the smacking around that Dean did of Gordon would really not keep him down a little longer than it did? I think that's what I object to more, was Gordon's recovery than the fact Dean went down so quickly.
What irritated me was Sam's vanishing facial injuries.
Oh, I caught that too. V. annoying.

While it is possible in reality to pummel the shit out of someone's face without them losing consciousness (see UFC fights), TV works with a much reduced set of things that cause unconsciousness (and one recovers from being knocked out cleanly and with no residual effects), so I wasn't slightly surprised.
I was quite happy that the buttstroke was the fight ender twice, instead of giving punches very variable powers.

I guess this is what bugs. I want consistency in everything fighty. Ah, well. I'll have to just roll with it.
Of course, within the text of the show we have counterexamples of how badly you feel after having the everliving tar whaled out of you with bare hands. (Even the posture is basically similar: the assailant above and the, uhhh, recipient on his back.) In the season ender of S1, Sam took 5-10 hand-blows to the face and looked like he could hardly walk, after; there was some unintentional visual comedy as Dean (the smallest of the Winchesters) aws trying to haul both his father and his brother back to the safety of the car, while both staggered against him.
You might make an exception for that instance, because the assailant was possessed by Evil; but Evil in human format seems mostly limited to the capabilities (but not the skills) of the human it possesses.

Internal consistency they had, at least within the ep. It's sad that I'm happy about that, but I am.
I mean, on the roof Dean was wailing on Gordon like whoa. And then Gordon takes Dean down with two shots?
Before Gordon took him down, I had a fleeting hope that it might turn into some cat-mouse-cat game, with Dean going after Gordon, who's going after Sam, all the while Dean would be trying to give Sam the space he apparently desperately thought he needed.
But, well, then, Dean got tied to a chair. Again. Not that I didn't enjoy the drama or y'know, TEH HOT. But I thought it might go differently.
She was from Peoria, CanIllinois.
Heh. And many actors on Due South were from Chicagoronto, Illinada.
What irritated me was Sam's vanishing facial injuries.
It was a surprise, so I waved my hands and decided it was just splashed blood on his face that he washed off. See how easy I am?
Dean's accent?
he said something last night in the car at the end when he was talking to Sam and i heard the Texan accent come out. can't remember what it was though...
