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.
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.
Vortex is me. And dream!Sail rocks for ditching Tom Cruise.
Once with Tom Cruise and my ex-fiance. I chose the ex-fiance.
Tom being gay and all, I think you went with the best choice.
You know, I've always wondered if I had a fabulous gay friend, who was really rich and I had a good time with and liked a lot and he asked me to marry him for appearance or visa purposes, whether I would do it. But, I digress

Agh! 'kay, I've not seen any of
Eureka
Season 2, so I'm all about the envious non-commenting there. But I
have
snagged several sets of DVDs lately. So,
Blood Ties
was good, eh? And
Dresden Files
really quite endearing too! I understand that TDF didn't get renewed? But I'm hoping that BT will be having a second season - anyone know the sitch? Also,
Smallville
Season 6 - much more fun than I'd have expected, overall.
Um. I return you to your regularly scheduled SPN/Eureka squee.
