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.
The SciFi rep at Comic Con (can't remember whether it was BSG or SG) were very insistent that people not Tivo things, because it affects the ratings. I can't imagine how -- if a Tivo is recording the first broadcast, how is that interpreted by a Nielson box any differently than a human watching
Tivos don't click the button that says there's a person there watching. With people meters you have to register that you're there in the room.
And in Nov, Nielson is supposed to start reporting the average rating for commercial breaks during shows, as well as the show rating. I imagine that was what he was concerned about. If people are watching but skip the ads, the ratings will reflect that. (I believe they'll also include limited timeshifting data. Which may help show ratings, but probably won't do much for commercial ratings.)
Yeah, the SciFi schedule was wrong (grrrr, argh). It's on now, an hour later. Not that that's so helpful now.
Yeah. Sorry. I was holding off reading until I was watching. Pantsy Scifi Scheduling.

It was the SG lady.
I read in
Entertainment Weekly
that Colin used to pretend to be a mannequin. Mannequins must be expensive if it's cheaper to pay someone to stand still instead.
Last 20 minutes better than no minutes at all. Fuckers.
Is Frewer's accent supposed to be South African?
Australian. The place they're in is his, and with the Australian flag, and boomerangs, and Kangaroo Crossing signs, and everything, yeah, supposed to be Australian.

OK, that makes sense. It's a worse Aussie accent than a South African one, though.
I read a very nice comment about TWOP in their
Eureka
thread.
A TWOPPER posted that this is the first time she's looked forward to Tuesday nights since the end of Buffy.
