'Lineage'


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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Heads up Dresden Files watchers!

According to TV Guide Online, SciFi is showing two eps back to back on April 8 and April 15. A rerun airs at 9 and the new ep at 10.(Which puts it opposite Blood Ties. Grrr. Don't they realize people work on Monday mornings. Ah, well...dueling VCRs it is)

Art Crawl!!!

I guess Jake 2.0 didn't work in that spot. . . and they are clearly hoping to prevent people from going to Blood Ties.

Well, at least TAR's schedule won't mess it up as much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You were saving yourself from the commercial reversioning!

Yeah, yeah! That's the ticket. Whew. Buffistas to the rationalization rescue.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

But, airing in the US means region 1 dvds with all the stuff from the UK airing back in.

This is not the case for Life on Mars (grrrrrrr)

I wonder if the fact that there is a US version of the show being created means no US release of the British dvds of Life on Mars.

IODVDN, I picked up the season 2 set of Twin Peaks today.

That's a damn fine cup of joe.

Doubt it. Didn't stop QAF or The Office.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Aww, I'll miss Keeping Up Appearances, though.

Yeah, but I’m sure that, like me, you’ve seen them all 5 times

Does BBC-A edit for content, or for time (or both)?

For time, it depends. Some shows yes, some no. Usually, they just add heaps of commercials. Take Clatterford (half hour sitcom), they show that for 40 minutes. But Eleventh Hour (1 hour drama), they add half an hour of commercials.

They usually just mute the cursing and cut nude scenes

Instead it's this semi-impassioned action that doesn't ring quite true.

Yeah, plus the books made it seem more self defense, which it didn’t really seem as cut and dried. I mean, Justin did throw a stake at his head, but Harry did have the voodoo doll in his hand.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have a hard time believing the tv version as self-defense. Harry was already torturing Justin and certainly acting like he had intent to kill. It was Justin who acted in self-defense at that point. Justin hadn't been intending to kill Harry until Harry attacked him. It was an accident if anything; Harry fell on the voodoo doll and crushed the ring into it when he ducked the stake Justin threw at his head. No wonder the High Council doesn't trust Harry. No wonder Harry feels so guilty. I think the only reason they didn't execute him was there was enough doubt about his intentions and what exactly really happened.

(Understand, of course, I don't care if he murdered him. I like Harry anyway. And Justin needed killin'.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

For those who can *ahem*, there is a special edition of Weakest Link from 3-30-07 featuring cast and crew of Dr. Who.

Participants include the actors who play Doctor #10, Mickey, Captain Jack, Jackie Tyler, and three other supporting cast. Plus the guy who does the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen. Also K-9 shows up. Good Dog.
