A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.
You win. I thought I would totally trump you with my understanding of Bondo, but I always underestimate the computational nerdity of the Ple.
The occasionally crippling computational nerdity.
I've considered using Bondo in the past.
Wound up just sanding, doing some basic scratch fills, and spraying paint on the damaged area.
True confessions time: I used to read Car and Driver, Kit Car, and some other random car magazine my Dad used to have. I had, and may still have at my parents' house, a folder with articles clipped out about my first car from when it was released. (In which, as I recall, Car and Driver describe the gas powered version as driving, "like a pocket muscle car.")
There was probably a point at which I was on the verge of becoming a car person.
Then the commute thing happened and I got over it. Which you'd think would've happened when I dated Muscle Car Boy. But no.
Don't think I don't troll eBay classic car listings.
Oh, yeah. Total car porn.
I found a '67 four-door Impala not long ago, $4,000 and change. There're lots of two-doors, but the four-doors are hard to find, and the only other ones I'd seen on ebay were already restored and tricked out and in the tens of thousands. This one was teal, with matching interior in surprisingly good shape, a little body rot around one door and fender. They said it would crank, and drive, but gave no indication of mileage or anything else.
Also, it was in Manitoba. But yeah. I had a nice long minute of fantasy there.

My husband, aka The Enabler, was actually trolling car sites the other day and found a '66 Impala, two-door, totally restored, for $35K. But it had power windows and AC, which I maintained couldn't have been original. So very pretty, though.
Stephen had a '66 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 when he was eighteen. It was roughly the size of a football field, and a convertible to boot. Sadly, by the time I met him it was a giant planter in his parents' driveway.
Last, for excellent car porn (with added gore!) see Tarantino's half of Grindhouse. So much fun. (Rodriguez's is better, in my opinion, but not so much with the car porn.)
Though a near-silent Impala would be kinda freaky.
Imagine an Impala sneaking up on you in a dark alley...
can I have one of these, then?
oooh, me too?
I love Beverly's idea.
I just saw a fun report on the BSG All-Access event, complete with a really cool poster here: [link]
SGA -
Abyss ! of course John would have seen the Abyss a lot. And Rodney with the Robin reference. oooh and now Teyla is being controlled by the Wraith. I think. and awww Beckett was in the credits.
There's a movie I know Jilli won't see -- Ice Spiders.

GO RODNEY! Nice plan. I was getting bored until that point.
