'Objects In Space'
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.
Oy.I'll see your Oy and raise you and Bzuh?
I'm just wishing she'd change her ghosty hair. I hate it. Find a dead stylist or something.
And shirtless UsedToBeBabyTehHell? boy looks much better shirtless. I had to rewatch the beginning of this ep to check. And, yes, I prefer shirtless.
Hey, guys. Watched the SG finales Friday, then got really surprised when there was almost no discussion here. Anyway, my thoughts....
Atlantis: Well....wouldn't it be nice if the writers took the time to set up ongoing background threads so we didn't have to be anvilled with this is the theme and confilct for this episode in the teaser? *Sigh* Aside from that, it was pretty good, although knowing Torri Higgenson's change in status made the bit at the end with Weir annoying. And I must have missed some episodes, when did Jewel Staite show up?
SG1: I pretty much agree with what others said above about the non-interesting tedium and the correctness of the ending but....There's something interfering with my enjoyment, and it's called "The Locket". It says an awful lot that Farscape can do this in a throwaway episode and make it (IMHO) so much better. Oh well.

You didn't miss anything. This was her introduction.
I hate a lot of previouslies, since they give away so much about the episode.
I also think Weir was handled very clunkily--all of a sudden she's ready to quit, after going toe-to-toe with the military and the IOA so many times in the past? Bad writing, people! Bad writing!
I have a feeling that Hex is near the end of the second season. Uh, I don't know why they don't just kill the bad guy.
Ella didn't even try. And then the next thing you know Malachi is actually eating souls and killing things. And Thelma! They made Thelma go bad, but in a weaselly unfun way.
Also - I'm thinking of the lessons about sex that DA teaches. The one that season 2 of Hex teaches seems to be: have sex with the boy and completely lose all your power AND turn him evil.
Nice.
According to an old website that purported to be run by his sister, JP's eyes are blue-green. I can't find the site now.
A really awesome murky green hazel, yeah. Blue green? I don't think so. I will have to do more research. Because I am a giver.

It's a good thing I don't watch it for the plot. Actually, why do I watch this show? It's like crackfic but with pictures.
I don't want to say I hated the finale of SG1. Except I did. I really did.
But ending by going through the gate rocked. And Teal'c got a final, "Indeed."
Yep, that's what I liked about it.
Oh and the thank you thing after it was over. Because I am a great big sap and that gave me chills.
Okay, SGA now. Um, wasn't Jewel Staite a Wraith? Isn't?
It's sad when Hex makes more sense, really.
ita, there's a Teyla moment (would that she'd had several more as something more than scenery) that I think you will love.
Also, some fairly good SFX that were quite entertaining in an action-movie sort of way.
And Lorne swearing up a blue streak for vanilla primetime TV, though it's nothing compared to how soldiers speak in real life.
Who 3.12: I agree with ita that it felt a bit filler-y at times, but it did have some great moments, and it was a pleasure to watch John Simm having such a blast. And what is the deal with Mrs. Master ?
Props to whoever it was to called them travelling back on Jack's vortex manipulator. I still wonder what's happened to the Master's TARDIS, though.
Who 3.12: I don't know why, but Mrs. Saxon reminded me of a slightly saner version of Drusilla.
