'Heart Of Gold'


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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I mean, she wasn't even in the private quarters, was she?

Yes, she was. They got to her through the door marked PRIVATE and then up some stairs.

And a TV Guide piece about The Dresden Files.

BTW, Amazon emailed me a reminder about the premiere of The Dresden Files! Because I've bought some of the books from them.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ahem. Where would be the proper place for reaction to that picture?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never bought Dresden Files books nor even heard of the series before the tv adverts, but Amazon emailed me about the premiere too. I guess it's based on my previous choices in reading material.

I'm really looking forward to the show. There's a talking skull? Awesome. I always wanted one of those.

eta whitefont just in case

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

A video interview thingy for the Dresden Files intermixed with some scenes: [link]

So they've apparently turned TV Harry into something of a ladies man. I knew they wanted to make him less of a geek, but with everything else we're straying into generic genre lead territory here.

ION, Robert Wolfe just confirmed that TV Murphy has a daughter.

Because apparently in order to be a strong, kick-ass woman on TV you also have to be a single mother, or something. Hmph. (The latter are my words, not his. He hasn't explained their reasoning for why she has a daughter yet.)

My main concern, beyond it being an unnecessary change, is that the daughter's going to end up like so many other TV kids: completely forgotten about whenever they're not directly affecting the main plot.

I'm still hopefull, and anxious to see the show on Sunday, but the changes are feeling more and more like generic Hollywood-ization than necessary adaptations to bring a book to the screen.
