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.
Christo looks like the name of a religious cereal.
New Christ-Os!
Thanks!
So, Faith on Thursday?
Faith!
Dean 1, Reaper 0!
Faith on Thursday, check.
I would SO be doing postcards, but in the great computer mindwipe, my Photoshop bit the dust, and we've not had time to coax the computer to load it again. Probably a good thing, actually.
Also, maggiesox, when you check back in, welcome. And I love your tagline--or did, when I first read it as "Send lawyers, guns, and chutney."
Loving all the BSG analysis; it may convince me not to "Lost" BSG. So sad, when a pretty, interesting show with pretty people goes all "enh."
Lost has "lost" the ability to be analyzed for me. I mean, we had the numbers, but they've gone. What is lostzilla, oh nevermind. There's not enough "there" there.
At least with BSG there's the nature of humanity and civilization. I think it especially helps that so much of it, I think, can be applied to current events. Us vs. them when we, I mean the country on average, don't have a thourough understanding of exactly who "they" are. Contrasting religions. The safety of your people, pushed to an even further extreme than even the worst neocon nightmare, vs. what you as a people want to stand for. I think the premise and mission of the show just holds up better even when inidividual episodes or storylines are all WTF! Monkey Crack!
I have been so frustrated with the lack of any sort of discernible direction this season on BSG, though. I still love my characters, my Helo and my Chief and my Gaeta, the ones who sort of sustain reality for me when Lee and Kara and Bill and Laura and Gaius and Six go all histrionic and indecipherable and WTF? Not that the secondary-tertiary characters can't be all 'splodey too, but for the most part, they're the through-line, when the headliners are chewing the bulkheads.
I think the only characters who did that for me on Lost were Hurley and... Steve? or Scott? Bernard and Rose, and whatever happened to B&R, anyway? And frankly, I just stopped caring. Sawyer and Freckles still hot like burning, and very very pretty. But...enh.
Yesterday I was just saying that I sorta feel about Galactica S3 the way I do about Angel S3: Horribly, horribly flawed in many ways, and with both shows I almost gave up halfway through because, good lord. But man, I love the ideas and the arc now that I can see it as a whole. even if I don't like a lot of the individual episodes.
So I personally feel kinda reconciled (though I do want to watch The Good Bits of the past season sometime soon to re-evaluate) but I realize this is small comfort to those who think of Angel S3 and go, "Ugh."
See, that I get. But again, they still have stuff that appeals to my overall theory of the way things work, that they still have me.
I get that it leads nowhere, but it hits my buttons so I'm there.
ETA: Strega is me, and damn do I feel honored saying that (though, for full disclosure, I should say I seriously disagreed with some opinions expressed in Angel recaps).
I should say I seriously disagreed with some opinions expressed in Angel recapsHeh. And, honestly, no worries, I think everyone does. Including me, sometimes.
