Speaking of Supernatural and promos, who the hell is in charge of CW's print ad/billboard campaign. So far I've seen promos for Smallville and Supernatural, and both feature extreme closeups of the male leads with incredibly stupid expressions on their faces. I fail to see how this would encourage anyone to watch either program.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The CW crap? I don't know!!
All that "Free to be" stuff -- really, really lame.

Kalshane, I keep seeing the Tom Welling one with his mouth open. I keep thinking "you know that people are just going to photoshop micheal rosenbaum's crotch in front of it"

There is an ACTUAL Smallville promo - NOT the CW stuff out too.
It had flashes of Green Arrow and Chloe introducing Jimmy Olson to Clark. Plus, Lex as Zod. . .
And here, it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The most confusing CW one to me is the Free To be Fierce with a picture of Tyra Banks. Now, I don't watch the show, and maybe she's a bitch on wheels in it, but the picture certainly doesn't convey ferocity. In fact, what it conveys to me is that she has a really beautiful mouth.
Which is all and good, but it's not enough to make me watch TV.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Fierce" is like Tyra Banks's favorite word. Which doesn't mean she's ever been within shouting distance of a dictionary, but, at least it refers to something she claims to be.
Now, the one with the One Tree Hill guy being "free to be cool," that one's just silly.

"Free to be a squinty twit" is more like it...

Ugh, that picture of KB in that article is pretty bad too. Why oh why do they think it's a good idea to make their stars look like complete and utter dufuses? Yeesh.

They've so airbrushed the Welling picture that I wonder if he was on some sort of bender over the break. He's insanely pretty! Why tweak?
