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.

Re: Starbuck
You'd think I would have made the connection between pilot callback and character death considering it happened just last week on
Veronica Mars.
ETA:
the yippy-dog ringtone (which, by the way, was *hilarious*).
Very much so, and so in-character.
Six weeks!!! Damn them.
I
liked
Peter's hair.
Okay, did anyone else expect Mohinder to burst into flame? (And wouldn't a Petrelli bros/Winchester bros cross-over be fun?)
I LOVE that Grandma Petrelli is the power that supercedes HRG in the Haitian Sensation's life.
Man, that was another good episode. (I KNEW that the new shapechanging partner was going to be Mrs. Bennett at the worst possible time.)
Linderman vs. Petrelli matriarch -- it's very The Stand.
And where does the Company fit in? Linderman's operation, or yet another party involved (since it doesn't look to be Mama Petrelli's team).
I was so psyched when it turned out Nathan's been working for the Feds all along, and then he gives in to his worst impulses. Bad Nathan, no pot pie biscuit.
I definitely had a moment of "omg! Sylar is the Yellow-Eyed Demon!" Oh, shows. See above, re: protective older brothers and the floppy-haired emo superpowered younger brothers who love them.
Also, I think Candace is played by that girl from
Stick It,
which... I may be the only one here who actually paid money to see, but trust me, she's awesome in it.
eta: also put me down as relieved that Nathan's not actually a crooked politician, and has in fact been on the side of the angels all along. Though that might have been mostly revenge for whatever Linderman did to Petrelli Senior.
And, really, I can't blame him for not shooting Linderman when he had the chance. He was pretty well backed into a corner.

Heh. Yes to the first question, and HELL YES to the second!

Yeah, that was cool. Although I still think he's got a fairly amoral streak -- I noticed it took him barely a moment's consideration before knocking out Niki when she asked. He's willing to do some pretty rotten things if he thinks they're necessary.
Well Mystique actually shape-shifts, though, doesn't she? Candace seems to be projecting an illusion (particularly since she made Simone's body disappear when the cops showed up.)
I was gonna say, she's an illusionist, not a shape-shifter. Also a bitca...

yep! that's her. Missy Peregrym. i actually really liked Stick It, but i think i'm predisposed by love of gymnastics.
I LOVE THIS FUCKING SHOW
This! I'm squeeing and HSQing all over the place!! Yay show!
but I knew for sure that she wasn't Mama Bennet when she went to answer the phone, saying it was the dog kennel (or wherever Mr. Muggles was), and it *wasn't* doing the yippy-dog ringtone (which, by the way, was *hilarious*).
I noticed that too. I was like "she changed her ringtone?" I gotta say, I was really disappointed in the Linderman reveal. I expected it to be like Sulu, where I would recognize and love the character or the actor or something. It was very anticlimactic.
Speaking of Sulu
was it here that I read that Daniel Dae Kim is supposed to play Sulu in the Star Trek prequel?
Way to mix up your asians, man.
