Ah, Harry. Bless his heart, we need to see more of his friends on the show. At least his hot vampire brother. And also? I totally called that he listened to vinyl. And not just vinyl, but *awesome* vinyl that even Morgan had to complement him on.

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.
DF: I did enjoy the Harry-Morgan moments. (Morgan's comment about Harry's symbology, for example.)
I enjoyed the little glimpse into Morgan, too. He wanted to play jazz! Aw.
I also loved the moment at the end with Real!Murphy when she asked to come in and Harry was all, uh, no. "Rhetorical question," and she sweeps in. Hee.
I hope we get more character development with Mai, though.
Mai was a huge improvement over her bit in "Storm Front," what with the growling and glowy eyes and moving like she was tweaked out on crystal meth. Portraying vaguely fond antagonism via vocal tone and expression was a muchbetter choice this time around.
I really liked how Bob sold the menace of them being transported to Hell. Worked a lot better for me than the sucking black cloud of doom.
I watched Rhythm and Blues today while huddled under my blanket, and if I'd bought it for any purpose other than to see Paul Blackthorne wearing as little as possible I would be seriously pissed. Total crapfest from start to finish. I hope Paul really needed the money. (And assume he used some of it for acting lessons afterward, because he was as horrible as the other actors.)
R&B: I thought Paul was all right. I might have been blinded by lust, though. And granted, I haven't managed to get all the way through it.
I thought the guy who played BD's former Royal Army friend was a decent actor—albeit hobbled by awful writing—as was the Bathsheba actress. But everyone else either overacted in a horrendously campy way, or phoned their performance in (Blackthorne being among the latter).
BSG ish:
"This will include a special two-hour extended event that will air during fourth quarter 2007 and be released on DVD by Universal Studios Home Entertainment thereafter."
That was Dave Howe as quoted in Strega's chronicle of her day at the Scifi Channel upfronts. (Which you can read here)
Doesn't it sound like the 22 episodes includes the 2-hour extended event? So, it's 20 episodes of BSG + 2 of the fall extended event.
That quote was actually from the press release. What Howe said was confusing to me even when I listened to it again, because he made it sound like in addition to the 22 eps, there'd be a separate D2DVD production. But I think your understanding is right; the 22 episodes includes the 2-hour thingie they're airing in the fall. Which, if memory serves, will be relased on DVD the day after it airs.
Yes, prior to reading your report I understood it the same way: 22 episodes of BSG plus the 2 hour thing in the Fall.
Oh well.
