Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
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 agree with your assessment of gender differences in public nudity, ita. I'd delve into the why of it, but I'm supposed to be editing.
Painkiller Jane NOT picked up.
Just when I'd lost all hope, a glimmer of sanity.
According to Robert, Lionsgate loves TDF and would still like to do something with it. Whether that means they're actively TRYING to do something with it, I don't know.
Oh, oh -- USA!!! TNT!!! Someplace where I can see it please.
Flash got a 1.5 on Friday. I didn't see whether they kept that throughout or whether thousands turned away after the first 30 minutes or something.
Anyway, that 1.5 beat PKJ's 1.3 and DF's 1.4 debuts.
It is odd, but mostly because it's usually the other way round--but it's so much easier to play male nudity for laughs than it is female nudity.
There's also the practical consideration that blocking for male nudity is much easier than for female nudity in long shots. If you have a woman wandering nude through a scene and don't want to show the goods, you have to use close-ups or engage in Austin Powers-level subtlety in the use of intervening objects.

It's hard to change the channel once you've been knocked into boredom-induced slumber on your couch.
Did Eureka debut over 2? For some reason I seem to recall that.
I bet Flash Gordon derived a fair part of its numbers for people who're thinking of the original. Remains to be seen if it can pull a BSG and recreate itself compellingly.
Which is also a Bionic Woman question, but that has a less distinctive original.
Still thinking about the nekkid. A man's virility is to be flaunted, a woman's fecundity to be hidden once she has found herself a virile protector.
Or something, she says waving her hands airily.
I think that you watched the BSG miniseries and you knew that they'd done it right.
Yes, Eureka and BSG both did better in their premiere's than that.
Honestly BSG was something I AVOIDED because of the original. I still haven't gotten around to catching up with it, but I've got the DVDs because it's come recommended from enough people who's taste I trust.
I haven't heard anything good about Flash Gordon, but I haven't watched it myself.
There's a good reason you haven't heard anything good: It's not good. Except for the scantily clad wimmen.

I get the impression that we're not talking bad the way that the movie was awsomely bad, but just mediocre bad. Am I correct in that assumption?

Yes. Basically, the producers understood the mandate to "modernize" FG to mean that you have to purge it of everything that was fun and cool about the comic strip and the movie.
I still remember listening to an old Flash Gordon radio show (on LP - I'm not THAT old) which had the immortal line "Ahhhh! Smell that oxygen!" Cracks me up every single time I think of it.
