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 have the Weakest Link special downloaded, and I'm going to watch it asap!
I got my hands on a copy of "Proven Guilty," and I have no idea where it is in the storyline; but never have I been so grateful for that annoying recap authors put at the beginning of novels in a series, because it means I can figure out what the hell is going on.
Many fangirls are bemoaning the end of Life on Mars. Long live Life on Mars!
I have a hold on a library copy of White Night - I'm collecting the mass market paperbacks so I won't pick it up 'til next year.
Apparently the Lost Room is coming out on dvd.
From the scifi wire piece:
The series ended with a lot of unanswered questions, but the producers said that they hope to resolve those loose ends with a continuation of the project in the near future. In the meantime, Leone and Harcom said audiences can get acquainted with The Lost Room through the DVD, which includes the entire uncut miniseries, as well as Inside the Lost Room, a behind-the-scenes featurette that sheds light on the mythology of the show. The DVD is in stores now.
My favorite part of The Weakest Link special was when Tennant got voted off, and Anne Robinson said, "I think you're gorgeous."
There's a new BSG podcast up (finally!). It's not the "official" ep podcast, but it's fun anyway -- RDM and Mrs Ron watched the finale at a friends' house and recorded all of them watching the last act (with audience reactions) and their conversation afterwards.
I thought that the actual podcast was up at the scifi website but it's not up on itunes. (Grrrr. . . argh)
I got my hands on a copy of "Proven Guilty," and I have no idea where it is in the storyline;
Proven Guilty is book 8 (of 9). Book 9, White Night, was just released. FYI, it's going to spoil you like woah for at least 3 or 4 of the previous books (as in direct references to major plot points/reveals from them.) No clue whether or not this matters to you.
OK, I've drunk the Kool-ade and checked Dead Beat out of my local library.
Nah, it doesn't really. And I think I've been spoiled this point anyway at forty pages in. Still, it makes me really interested to read the other ones, like the White Knight thing and the thing about Thomas. How is Thomas his half-brother anyway?
SA, you might want to white font that for folks who are making their way through the books in order, as it's the big reveal of book 5.
The short answer is that White Court vampires--who feed off human emotions, normally lust-- like Thomas, are all half-human by blood and grow up as humans, only turning into vampires during their first time having sexual intercourse. Harry's mother, who was apparently involved with all sorts of bad juju before she met Harry's father, was involved with the king of the White Court, and had a child from him.
ETA: Blood Rites (book 5) heavily involves The White Court and explains a lot about them.
