All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I missed Tru Calling: what's the UnAmerican verdict?

Eh, it was alright. Wouldn't have got the time-slot it did, if it weren't for Eliza. Very much in the vein of that show, Early Edition, about the dude who gets the newspaper a day early and has to try and stop the various tragedies he reads about. I'll keep watching it but won't be overly upset if I miss an episode.

Oh and Eliza does a lot of running hither and thither. Hence the focus on the running in the promo Jon mentioned.

ETA: It's extremely unlikely we'll ever see Wonderfalls, isn't it?

I certainly won't be holding my breath. Did that with Firefly on 9 and nearly died.

Sadly, only in the first episode...

Typical, rope us in then leave us dangling...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She does have a beauty contest episode with Glory.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Not that I condone downloading, but you wouldn't happen to know the episode number, would you, ita?

Episode 13, Drop Dead Gorgeous (TvTome summary).

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

Girl pretty.

And you know what would have been funny? The gamblers bearing the crap out of Tru's brother because they found he had a 10 of clubs tucked up his sleeve.

Often the biggest reward in a Tru Calling ep would be the brother having the living shit kicked out of him.

He definitely did not get the living shit kicked out of him nearly often enough.

I hope that's not considered spoilery.

[link] now has Firefly listed on their site. They have it for $50.95.

I know this movie has been discussed on the Phoenix but I don't recall if it was in here, or the Movie thread. Anyway, The Whole Wide World has finally been released on DVD in Australia. Of course, the cheap bastards released the NTSC version and simply made it R4. However, it's only $17.95 on AtlanticDVD, so I guess we'll forgive them.
