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.
I think that actress from "Look at the Princess" had the right of it: chant the mantra "he's happily married, with kids" over and over in one's head.
I'd like to say it's easier not to lick Browder when his wife is standing right next to him, but I'd be lying. Their combined awesomeness was enough to render me speechless, which I guess is a good thing considering that, had I the power of speech, I would have asked if they were open to polyamory, and if so, would they like to marry me.
Colin's up in BC right now, presumable shooting.
Well, either that or partying it up. It's kinda hard to tell from the emails.
Shrift, I can see where being rendered speechless there would be a good thing.
I was just making co-workers look at pictures of Browder last night. I'm not sure they understood.
Well, yeah, kind of a gimme, there. She's damned funny. And she must finish Crow on the Cradle! OMG the suspense!
She must! I'm on the edge of my seat! And once it's done, I can re-read it!
Man.
THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem.
I haven't even watched the DCs for it. I'm being Moderately Good. Even though I'm on Tape Delay due to Pete tonight.
Shrift, I can see where being rendered speechless there would be a good thing.
In retrospect, my choices were: awkward silence, or
really
fucking awkward silence. Good thing I wasn't channeling my inner Dean that day.
I'm in the really fucking awkward camp. I can't meet people I'm fannish about in person. Just.can't. Will go out of my way not to. Because I know I will make porpoise noises (Holli? Was that you?) and embarrass us both.
So I will just sit over here and happily consume teevee and film and fic and discuss it all with like minds. And let the articulate and collected and so on do the meet and greet. And envy them like whoa, of course, but this plan is better for all concerned.
My record of meeting famous people is not so great, between the crying over people post-Katrina, the making an ass out of myself with Nathan Fillion, and the general dumbstruckedness I got when I saw Armin Shimmerman from a distance.
I can't meet people I'm fannish about in person.
I'm fine with it most of the time. I can chat, mention how much I like their work, and wait until they are out of earshot to clap and bark like a seal.
But when there's an actor or a writer who is both breathtakingly attractive
and
their brains and personality are all that and a bag of chips?
Yeah, um.
FWIW, I did get to do a long phone interview with Armin Shimerman once, and he was about as wonderful as you could want. Had it been an in-person interview I doubt I could have been coherent, though I'm much braver and self-confident now. (And also on drugs.)
I love that you were stricken dumb by Snyder at a distance.
It looks like there's a Eureka mini-marathon on SciFi tonight, for those who are still getting with the program....
I made the mistake of referring to Colin as 'handsome' a while back, when talking to my husband about
Eureka.
I'm still getting mocked for it -- most recently last night, when we saw all the
Eureka
episodes on our TiVo guide.
I love that you were stricken dumb by Snyder at a distance.
Hee. It was less Snyder and more "Quark! And he was on Beauty and the Beast! And that Invisible Man episode! And and and!"
