Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'


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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The actual Emmy noms for Best Visual Effects, as opposed to the ones in my faulty memory, are:

BSG, Eureka, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Rome

With the inclusion of Grey's Anatomy, it's even more criminal that SGA wasn't nominated.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

BSG, Eureka, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Rome

one of these things is not like the other; one of these things just doesn't belong...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I...what? What sort of visual effects does GA have? Is this the thing with the boat crash or whatever that three-part OMG DRAMATIC arc was?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Now I'm wondering if the Grey's people all perform their parts in front of a green screen and are then digitally composited to look like they're standing in the same room.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That would keep them from killing each other..

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Heh, so true.

Haven't been to Roanoke, VA.

It struck me as the kind of place where the gas station was the only thing open on a Sunday night. And honestly, if I want that experience, all I have to do is go visit my parents.

I actually drove by Roanoke VA on my way to Cincy on Tuesday. I was not impressed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know this is a weird question, but was Global Dynamics known as GD last season? Every time someone said it this episode I heard "goddamn."

Some people want to have a more relaxed relationship with her employees, and she seems that type.

Yes, I agree, but at the same time, she cracked down on Carter for "screwing around," so it seems she wants to be taken seriously.

Well, I chalked that up to Carter's unearned (by her timeline) familiarity from the first episode. Which is why I liked the Colin played the befuddlement at her hard-assness. He was used to having a semi-flirty interaction, but didn't remember just how inadvertantly flirty and familiar he'd been prior to the memory wipe.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Quick SPN reminder. We are bumping the start time of the rewatch and post to 8:30 board time for Croatoan tonight.
