'Trash'
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.
They're still wrapped? You haven't unpacked them to at least watch the gag reel yet?
Heee. I came home late after seeing Grindhouse, and then I had all these errands to run today before seeing The Namesake, and I just got back, and...I will gag soon enough!
Article about Dresden Files:
Too bad he spent most of the article talking about how bad it was that it didn't follow the books, and then grudgingly admitted it was pretty good on its own.
Personally, I don't want a cast of thousands. It works in the books, because there's more time/space to develop them and their relationships with Harry, but in a 42-minute show, they'd just steal time from the characters I really care about: Harry, Bob, and Murphy. If they only show up a couple times a season, that'd be okay; it would be nice to know that Harry has built up a support system out there even if we didn't see them all the time. Harry needs a support system besides Bob.
I'm finally almost done with the old Who that's out on DVD, and I think I really want Ace to pop up at some point in the current incarnation. Looking at her bio on wikipedia (And can I just take a moment to comment on the amount of extended universe content?), such an appearance could be substantially different from Sarah Jane's.
Actually, given how similar she and Rose were, it would have been interesting to have done that episode instead of School Reunion, even if I can think of several meta reasons for going with Sarah Jane instead.
Andi and I just watched Series II ep 2 of the new Dr. Who incarnation. Wow. Russel T Davies really embraces the Buffy TVS habit of pop culture referencing, doesn't he?
For instance, Harry Potter and Back to the Future. Who'd have guessed we'd see those things referenced in Dr. Who?
If the Tardis was worth the police box from which it was built, we would have had those references from the First Doctor.
I loved Who 3.02. I was cackling with delight throughout the whole thing, and just about lost it at "Fifty-seven academics just punched the air."
As for the actor who played Shakespeare, I thought he was fabulous. Does anyone know what else he's been in?
Er... I assume this means that the new episode is available now out there in the electronic aether?
Yes. Ahemming is possible.
Even as I type this, I could be gaining access to the file via semi-grey-area-legal-means. In a gratifyingly quick manner....
As for Who 3.02, I am still chuckling at the Doctor telling head-full-of-hair Shakespeare not to rub his head too hard lest he go bald.
Also, I wanted Kenneth Branaugh to play the Bard up till that moment. Furthermore I called Martha turning up as Shakespeare's Dark Lady.
