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.
I like Marcone, I just won't miss him. Though there's still room for a character like that on the show if they want him later.
I think you were right that they were making some of the changes so as not to look too much like Harry Potter. Which is ridiculous, staffs and spells have been part of the wizard myth since long before Tolkein, even. But SciFi wants to appeal to viewers outside their hardcore scifi-fantasy audience; they want to bring more people in, and to the average mainstream viewer, wizard = Harry Potter. I can understand why they'd want to distinguish this show from that. (There's also the unfortunate coincidence of the name.) Personally I don't think they had to get rid of spells and staffs/wands to do that, but I don't think it'll hurt the show. I am hoping we'll get more humor than we got in the pilot, but a hockey stick for a staff is kinda funny.
Dammit, Amazon, deliver the rest of the books!
It looks like NBC is now offering cast commentaries on Heroes episodes.
Oh, nice, you can even see them! Although I'm doing work right now and only listening.
Just watched the Dresden Files from last week. I like it, so far. I think it's probably a good thing that I didn't know anything about the books prior to seeeing it - that whole tracking changes thing often detracts from my viewing pleasure.
BSG: I thought Kara's "he won't cheat" comment meant "anymore". That said, I hope Dualla kick's Lee to the curb with extreme prejudice.
I think I had stuff on other shows, but it's slipped out of my brain.
making Harry more of a "man's man"
I don't think he is. He's smoother than book-Harry, but that doesn't take much...
pauses to snicker
TV-Harry was a complete stammering dork when he introduced Laura to Melissa; he looked like he was cheating because he was so nervous. If Laura dumps him it's because he didn't just say, "Laura, this is my rude friend Melissa; feel free to spit in her coffee." He was okay with Scott's mom because he wasn't trying to date her. Which was surprisingly wise of him.
Apropos of nothing, I like his mouth.
off to find more photos of Paul Blackthorne.
eta SciFi just announced a "special encore presentation" of the premiere. Like they haven't shown it about 80 times this week.
You mean a special encore tonight?
Right before the new episode.
I'm into Jake 2.0 that I didn't see when it orginally aired, whee!
oh, I sense another quixotic crusade looming on the horizon . . .
ha!
new episode in two weeks? It's only been *on* for two weeks!
WTF?
(On slight delay...) Man, Roslin is such a cool broad.
