Angel ,'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
Season 2 is on my Netflix queue. I am a pathetic, hormone-driven woman.
Do you want to borrow mine?
I have the second and third disks of S1 Dark Angel at home, which I am planning on rushing through this weekend so that I can get to the JA parts, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
"Normal Again" was not the first time a TV show had done an "Everything You Know is Wrong" episode, but generally whenever it happens again, we make reference to it.
Now, the connection between "Tall Tales" and "Bad Blood" is evident because of the PTB pedigree, but "Bad Blood" couldn't have been the first time that storytelling technique had been used on television, could it? Can anyone think of a show that had done something like that before?
It's the Rashomon plot, right?
Along with such classics as the Repeating Day, the It's a Wonderful Alternate Reality episode, evil twins, and so on.
It's the Rashomon plot, right?
Well, it's a little different from the Rashomon plot. In Rashomon, you get three or four different stories independently (cf. "A Trip to the Dentist"). With "Bad Blood," you get two different stories that are constantly being revised and updated during the storytelling process. (And even if it's the Rashomon plot, who was the first to use it on TV?)
The "Supernatural" talk is really making me regret not buying it at Best Buy when season 1 was on sale for $20. I haven't seen any episode of the show but for that price it wouldn't have hurt. Guess I have to wait until I can Netflix it.
I keep changing my Livejournal because I can't decide between Sylar or SciFi for my header.
I also kind of want to use this Torchwood(spoilery pic) one.

Aw! Now that I want the DVDs, I regret missing that sale too.

I paid full retail and don't regret it, but, you know, not exactly the voice of reason WRT Supernatural.
I'm still waiting for you to explain the Sam Girl Type.

Ordinarily, I would be willing to pay the full price without having seen an episode (bought Profit, Sports Night, Office UK, Ultraviolet) but I quit my job on Sunday so I need to conserve money.

I got distracted! There was that link to the cast and crew talking about the show, and I've developed a slight crush on Kripke since I said that to you!
Henry Jenkins, acafan, is also a Sam Girl. There seems to be some connection between being a very thinky type guy who owns his emotions and liking Sam a lot.
I admit, my sample size of two could be held against my point.
