Hmmm, another reason to pick up HBO
Amazon keeps recommending those books to me, are they any good?
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.
Spike ,'Chosen'
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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Y'know, Anna Paquin doesn't fit my mental image of Sookie, but I don't remember if there's an actual physical description of her in the books.
sj,
The books are fun, and the universe depicted in them is interesting. My only problem with them is that they seem to get more and more romance novel-y as the series progresses.(Romance novels aren't my cup of tea.)

I hope we get more Airelon people to see if they also sound British.

I bought one and stopped reading about a third of the way in. And that's coming from someone who finished the Anita Blake books that he's bought.

Apparently, that really was Sarah the ingenue from season 2 of Slings and Arrows as Bianca the Vampire on Dresden Files.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
when you fake up a rural/working class English accent, and use it for dramatic purposes to speak about social class in a different context, the aristocracy is not the first target that comes to my mind
What is?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Evil industrialists who ensnare nice, upstanding country boys in their hellhole factories and build the city of Manchester on their bones? Also, the petit bourgeoisie and anybody who would say Boo to Silas Marner. Perhaps I have been reading too much 19th century literature, but I think "the aristocracy" is the sort of thing one hears out of Russia and other, more serf-y parts of the world than out of rural Britain.

Well, no matter what his accent is/was he (Baltar) isn't British and I think that we can't assume the same sort of history for Airelon as for Manchester.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
OK - so the same woman as last night. So Dresden is in a continuing relationship with her?
Last night's ep felt to me like it was written to air earlier in the series than it did. Both the waitress stuff at the beginning, and also the way Morgan was introduced. Are they airing them out of order?
