'Lies My Parents Told Me'


Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Dear God, that's a lot of whitefont I'm tempted to peak at.

Doctor Who Season Three appears to be coming to Sci-Fi on July 6th. Torchwood is evidently coming to BBC America in the Fall.

I just caught up with Season Two, thanks to Sci-Fi running a couple marathons. Torchwood I've watched with a little help from a friend, but I'm looking forward to seeing it on a regular-sized screen. (Had to watch it on our laptop. Which? Not the same as curling up and watching it on the couch.)

I don't think they did frozen and digitally inserted, though I could be wrong (seems to be the case more often than not these days!) The Angels were certainly on set with the actors for the relevant scenes. I think the faces were completely immobile, latex masks (three or four different ones per Angel), as were the clothes. I'm not sure about the arms though, they looked as if they were just painted on. If so they did manage to stay incredibly still.

At least using actors explains that fantastic shot where Sally is going down the stairs in front of a barefaced angel, covers it briefly, and when we see it again it has its eyes covered. Yikes.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That was a great shot, Fiona. I had to rewind and watch it a couple of times, as FAQWife didn't spot it at first.

Video Q&A with Kristin at the BSG Blowout event-thingy.

Possibly makes the whole thing more creepy

That's exactly my reaction. I do wonder whether some of it was freeze-framed, or whatever. I wish the confidential had had more specifics. So cool.

JDM interview at tvguide. Completely non-spoilery for SPN . . . in fact, doesn't mention SPN at all. Mentions one of the meta-things re: GA but if you follow GA, you probably already know it.

Why can't JDM be icing cupcakes in MY Neighborhood?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

You know, that's the problem with SPN fandom... all the actors are so damn adorable.

And now I want a cupcake.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

SG-1: I'm pretty sure the "cancelled" line was wrt SG-1 itself, with the half-season. It makes sense, with the rest of the meta in the ep.

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

Ah. I got the impression that it was a a more sudden cancellation.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I had thought so as well, ita, but that was what made most sense to me.
