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).
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.
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.
Strega:
"Hi. You're Ben Browder. Did you know that?"
You could have said, "Bees."
That should somehow be COMMed, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I know! Well, the story-teller wasn't a buffista. . . but I just have to think "bees" and I start laughing. . .still.
Heh. If I hadn't written that bit before the conversation here, I totally would have used, "...Bees."
Well, and then 6 months from now I'd have seen stuff about how I just steal jokes from people on LJ. So maybe I wouldn't have, actually.
Hee. Just thinking about that story made me guffaw out loud. In the house by myself.
And Strega, that's a great report. Very funny.
The next time I meet a famous person I love up at the bar, I'm totally going to go up to them and go, " So, uhm, bees..."
