Also, EUREKA day. Yay!

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Gleeb!
Well, yes. (In Stratford, for the RSC, natch.) So it's not like there's no upside.
But still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just noticed that one of the meds I used to take for migraines "may [...] increase glutamate-dependent GABA synthesis." Which made me giggle in light of last week's Eureka. And reminded me of the "GABA hey" aside, and I'm not sure why "gabba hey" should trigger anything in my memory...and am too tired to google.

No personal memories of the Ramones?

Me? Absolutely not. My exposure to them has been recent and more than spotty. But there is a bit of my brain that can usually recognise a pop culture joke, even if I have no idea what it's about.

"Gabba Gabba Hey" was a phrase connected with the Ramones - kind of a rallying cry for the band and their fans. My brain wants to connect it to a chant the circus folks used in FREAKS, but that may be the lack of caffeine kicking in.

Yes, it was originally from the movie Freaks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, yay. The "GABA hey" cracked my shit up on both watch and rewatch, and then I forgot to mention it. So glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

Doctor Who taking a break - season five not 'til 2010.
I expect it's a compromise, either that or change producers/Doctors. Or change producers/Doctors, and give them a chance to work themselves in.
It does come across pretty clearly that the show is hugely demanding on all involved.
But yeah, the fangirl in me is a bit sad.

In further bizarre scheduling news: there is apparently a possibility that BSG will air half of season 4 in 2008 and the other half in 2009.
This was mentioned by Aaron and Jamie at some Q&A and TWOP's BSG forum is all abuzz about it.
