Hermanos! The devil has built a robot!

Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

Margaret Atwood's the Handmaiden? (I think that there was a movie.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

V?

No, it was sci-fi enough to be on a space-ship. There were aliens. My brain is sort of saying Farscape, even though I know damn well it wasn't. Argh. It could well have been a crap show that lasted two episodes or so. I've watched a lot of shit tv shows. Maybe it was just an episode of The Outer Limits or something.

There was a Farscape ep with forced baby making/attempted baby stealing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stargate sculpture. The site has lots of others too.

My google skills are failing miserably. I think I'll just have to live with it. What's the name of that Farscape ep?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...is it just me that feels a bit sorry for CFerg not getting to see the finished article yet? Of course, I guess there's always that whole 'but dude, you got to go work in Puerto Rico' thing to ameliorate the pangs of sympathy - nevertheless I find phrases like "poor wee scone" on the verge of spilling from my fingertips, 'cause it's always nice to see how it actually turned out.

(...I'm just going to embarrass myself if I mention being gleeful to hear that the DVDs of the wee am dram production I was in way the hell back earlier this year are finally happening, aren't I? But that's okay, I don't mine embarrassing myself - I'm really quite looking forward to getting to see it from the other side.)

Ah, Torchwood. Jack really DOES try to out-Angel Angel quite a lot, but he goes into more Big Gay Strops than Angel did, and he does have reason to be gloomy and jaded. (Although I understand that next season is supposed to be a trifle more upbeat. I trust that doesn't count as a spoiler?)

...I think that if you're a slasher, Torchwood is like a startling little shiny gift from the universe. If you're not so much going to be delighted by the wall-to-wall canonical slash, though, the flaws are likely to be more glaring.
