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.
What Sail said. The term "oreo" is an example of the attitude, but that's just psychological impurity.
Drop Squad
deals with that premise. Then you have sayings like "the darker the juice the sweeter the berry." You have black people that are violently resistant to the idea they have any non-black blood in them at all, even when it seems to be patently obvious--people who claim that the white blood must be ignored since it was introduced through rape, and get pissy when you explain that white people married black people too, and some of them are your ancestors.
You have philosophies that melanin is what brings you closer to being soulful and enlightened, and you hear it spouted by some of the lightest-skinned folk, and it's so perplexing you can't even beging to engage in the conversation.
Put it this way--when some black people get all "Back to Africa," many of them don't think of taking any white blood there. Despite there being damned few "pure" black people in the US.
Fuck, my dad got some grief for marrying my mother, and she's fucking black too. Apparently it meant he wasn't down with the cause of the people.
So, yeah. It's used. And then some.
Hey, my
Doctor Who
Season 2 DVDs just shipped! I don't often preorder from Amazon, so I don't know if they usually ship out way ahead of the release date like this, but this means they might actually arrive before I leave for vacation next Saturday! That would be too cool.

A review of Torchwood's first season, especially the last couple of episodes, by Strange Horizons:

Tricia Helfer's Playboy spread.
Christ, I'm fucking traumatised by that woman's body. She looks better mostly naked than she does clothed.
The shot of her legs is excellent. Plus, the shoes. Wish my legs looked that sexy.
Damn. Is it mean of me to hope they had to airbrush at least a little? Because no one should look that good both in and out of clothes.
It's the Posh thing. She says she looks terrible naked and I
believe
her. Course I don't think Posh looks that great in clothes either. All angles and silicone.
She's the same body type as me. If I lost, oh, 90 pounds.
(Pardon me, I'm very depressed. I'll try not to get any misery on the thread.)
I'm always amazed at how chameleonlike she is -- unless she's in character, she looks nothing like Six.
Totally chameleon, Jessica. I occasionally have to do the
blinkblinkblink
depending on which Six she is in a moment.
