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.
Whew. There's a nice breeze in here from all the handwaving.
Maybe Vincent was lying. 'Cause Cafe Diem didn't turn out to be a dead spot. Just had a lack of senders, right, which was what made Jack try it? Or maybe that was just an excuse for a sleepover. Everyone loves a sleepover, right?
I didn't click the link. It's ita's link.
Maybe Vincent was lying.
Or maybe he's a robot.
MANDROID!
(Someone had to say it.)
Having finally seen the episode last night (I have the hardest time remembering it's on Tuesday, for some reason), I have this to say:
How come the women can't be the heroes of their own damn dreams? How come we have to have Allison being passed around between Carter and Stark (yes, I know it was Carter's dream), and Jo dreams about being *rescued* by Zorro? Jo couldn't have been fighting aliens and kicking some ass? (Though, really, almost worth it for Cassanova!Stark).
I was very glad at the end that it was Carter who'd sent Jo a gift, and not some weird courting thing from Fargo. Because...no.
Jo is kickass in her real life, the softer side has a good counterpoint for her character.
Maybe Vincent was lying. 'Cause Cafe Diem didn't turn out to be a dead spot. Just had a lack of senders, right, which was what made Jack try it?
Jack didn't realize the sender/reciever issue at that point, I think. He just knew that no one at Cafe Diem had reported sharing dreams, so he thought that there might be something about that spot that shielded it.
Something funny just occurred to me. You know how, in your dreams, you idealize yourself. Zoe probably wasn't just embarrassed about seeing her dad naked, she was probably also traumatized by his enormous schlong. (oddly, once that word came into my head, I couldn't really thing of anything else. Well, except "member", which just sounds stupid. Or turgid manhood)
Jo is kickass in her real life, the softer side has a good counterpoint for her character.
yeah, I think that they are actively trying to show multiple facets of her, with the dancer discussion and the heroine dream, she's showing that she's not always the hardassed gun nut that you see.
Also, isn't it interesting that she cast Stark as a villain?
the softer side has a good counterpoint for her character.
Yeah, the softer side in which she's a romantic pawn and completely without agency.
They could have done the tango! It would have tied in to the dancing theme. But no, the boys had to swordfight.
I thought of it as less about her being helpless and more about enjoying men fighting over her.
more about enjoying men fighting over her
I'll go with this thought. I don't know how many times I've had similar dreams. Once with Tom Cruise and my ex-fiance. I chose the ex-fiance.
