Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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 just grabbed at Bionic Woman and Journeyman from Amazon Unbox. Way too much Amazonia this month.
I also grabbed Life while I was there, and studiously avoided Chuck. Why can't all the networks put all their genre shows up somewhere that convenient? That would make the sifting so much easier. There are only a couple new non-sff shows in which I have more than a cursory interest anyway.
Well, I just emailed Comcast with my complaints. . . for all the good that will do.
And here is that promo for Smallville. . . it aired sometime tonight.

How come, ita? I've heard really good things about it. Pretty much everyone I know who's seen the pilot loves it.
I just saw Bionic Woman on Unbox. I'll put some comments (not really that spoilery, mostly reactions) in white:
I felt the episode was just okay. I liked some of the things they accomplished (and the direction was pretty good), but I felt like they covered WAY too much ground in this episode. TV pilots usually do this, but I think they should have set up one main conflict and explained maybe one "evil" character's motivation and left it at that.
Maybe something on Thursday? I am such a flake.
Solar Attack? Apparently...the sun is attacking us or something.
I enjoyed the Bionic Woman pilot quite a bit. Most of what I didn't like was pilot-y stuff (Exposition Dialogue!). Katee Sackoff is excellent and more than a little Faith-y.
I haven't seen the recut version that's on Unbox right now, though, so I don't know how much has been changed.
Journeyman....oy. Why, Vorenus, why? Why couldn't your show have been good?
Not a huge fan of this week's Eureka, for all the reasons that have already been hashed out. WTF Jo? Please tell me there's a future episode where she stops smoking the bad crack and punches Zane in the face for being a ginormous jackass. Please?
Does the whole Poochie Zane character smack of Skiffy interference to anyone else? Especially setting him up with Jo? I hope there's a twist coming, but I'm not feeling confident.
PC, it looked goofy. I don't like goofy. Chuck looks goofy.

yeah, I said something about that earlier, his character is there to try to bring in a different audience, make Eureka "hipper"
