'The Message'


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.

Fleeting Doctor Who thought: so that was an ancient race from the early days of the universe in the Christmas episode and then another ancient race from the early days of the universe in the Shakespeare episode. Smells significant.

Only it turned out to be a movie about some other incredibly bad artist, who might or might not have hair at all.

It's about Thomas Kinkaide, and not only does he have non-floppy hair, he's got a porn 'stache.

Oh well, at least Padalecki already has practice playing someone who's been tainted by malevolent forces.

What is even happening?

I'd like to indulge in a moment of media fannishness and state that I believe Jared Padalecki has reached hair nirvana.

Oh, yes. Pretty.

As has his hair.

Rowr. If Sam looks like that next season, I may have a coronary.

Rowr, indeed. Be still my heart. But A WORLD OF NO to the show (I watched the trailer). Not even for JP.

Not even for JP.

I couldn't find him anywhere other than on the trailer. The show even appears on IMDB, with no mention. I wonder if he's just making the commercials, or perhaps doing announcer-y bumps.

I don't know - but at the end of the trailer, he did say, "... so join me..." which is what made me think he might be hosting it. Either way, though - SO not watching.

Because books.

I didn't get the whole "the things happening to these people is real" or whatever. Because it's clearly NOT. It's Punk'd, Halloween Style, is what it is.

Still, JP is indeed pretty. I thought I would hate the longer hair, but I don't.

I guess the theory is that none of it is digital effects or camera tricks. It's all illusionists. So it's real in that the people who are being scared really think they're seeing what they're seeing, rather than being actors screaming at a tennis ball.

Hello, Sailor!

Well, yes. I think I agree with the hair assessment.
