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.
Did we mostly hear both sides of the phone conversations? I'm wondering if they avoided the stilted "So you're saying we're going to the creek near the house?" repetition thing.
I think we always heard both sides of the conversation, mostly by cutting back and forth, but sometimes we'd hear the other person's voice while whoever was on the screen was on the phone with them.
But I don't think you'd have wanted your name associated with the shoe-box size phone XF had in the early years.
The only time I recall a shoe-box size phone was as a sort of sight gag during the origin of the Lone Gunmen episode set in the 80s.
On the other hand, all the hip teenagers on Veronica Mars use Treos, the big clumsy ones. As IF.
They're Sidekicks, not Treos.
I think Sci-Fi's rationalization(in as much as they have one) for showing wrestling is "Science fiction's audience is mainly young men. Wrestling's audience is mainly young men. Therefore wrestling belongs on the SciFi Channel!"

Didn't they have a big...no, that was The OC, IIRC. Sidekick, named, and used in the plot as if it was the only device that could fulfill those functions. Not sure if they had it used being more subtly.

I'm really sure Veronica herself doesn't have one.
Now I feel a need to google.
At least wrestling is a little closer to being reality based than that John Edward stuff they used to run. ;)
Nothing has ever made me wish as hard for a real-life Evil Dead possession scenario as catching John Edwards on TV.
If Sci Fi has to whore themselves out 5 evenings out of 7 so I can get two evenings of enjoyable genre (don't pretend you don't know what I'm saying) TV, and some days of old stuff. Bring it on.

It's sort of like a PBS pledge drive, except with wrestling instead of Roy Orbison.
