Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Okay, the vet is one of those Canadian actors. Who is it?

Also, I can't believe she's telling him how the damn handcuffs work.

OK, the Marco Polo thing was funny.

(Don't worry, Jo... I kinda think he's cute too. Even though he's an ass.)

Second season, episode 8.

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

I think Henry's comment had more to do with Jack constantly being around conversations he has no idea the meaning of, not necessarily that he's dumb. It actually struck me as a little poignant bit of empathy (as opposed to how it played in the commercials).
