Anya ,'Empty Places'


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 am the fly who dreams of the spider

Oh! She was Dr. Beckett's sweet love interest as well?! I liked that character! I guess I'm just liking that actress.

I do like that Jo's so proficient with her law enforcement knowledge that she knows all the specs of the highly advanced bracelets. Legal ramifications not-withstanding, I do understand the two-fold import of them: funny, and, saves the day.

I just loved the final scene with Carter and Zoe where he slaps the braclet on her and says "I'm watching you." Just the posture and the delivery, and Zoe's all "is he serious? OMG, he's serious."

I also loved the fact that Carter just had to go back and tell those guys how to play Marco Polo. He just couldn't resist. LOVE it.

Give me back my brain, Jen! So unfair!

No way, man! It's an awesome, shiny brain, and I will have much use for it. Muwah-ha-ha.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee! Totally agree with Suela about the abuse. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

And Juliebird,then they were all "Polo!" "Polo!" Heh!

Also agree with the general consensus liking the vet. She totally seemed like a character with a backstory and with a life and opinions and abilities and all that stuff, and since none of that is actually apparent, I'm guessing it was all just excellently done by the actress.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I also loved the fact that Carter just had to go back and tell those guys how to play Marco Polo. He just couldn't resist. LOVE it.

That may have been my favorite bit of the whole ep. Well, that and Henry's moments of re-connecting with Jack.

Yeah, and Jack tormenting Zoe with the overprotective father bit. Played that but good. I have always enjoyed observing parents make the protective noises about their teenagers, even when I was a teenager. I kinda love the "I'm embarrassing you by setting this limit because I have to; I'm enjoying your embarrassment because I can," attitude.

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

Jumping the shark with a Cousin Oliver before the second season is even over? God, I hope not!

Oh be fair. He was far closer to Poochy than to Cousin Oliver.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think she might have been a scientist on a season 1 episode of SGA, though--the one where Carson got to work closely with her.

Ah, thank you. Samantha Mulder, of course, has also been on SGA. And apparently Teryl Rothery has filmed an episode, which I saw when looking her up on IMDB.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

She was also on Another World many moons ago, I think.

I think that you're thinking of Rhonda Lewin, who played Vicky/Marley. I can see why you thought that. (BTW, not an AW geek, I had to look it up :) )

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

He was far closer to Poochy than to Cousin Oliver.

Fine. He can go home to his own planet now. On the Henry Blake memorial spaceship.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Man, I just caught a few minutes of Mega Snake.

Michael Shanks either has the worst agent in history, or a disgustingly bad contract with Sci-Fi. Poor bastard.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I was thinking the same when Adam Baldwin and Morena Baccarin had to do that "Sands of Oblivion" movie. Yikes.

BTW, not an AW geek, I had to look it up

I was but I still would have had to look that up.
