Dead Zone - hey it looks like the Stillson apocalypse is back in the picture.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, just finished watching The Source. It's like someone took a "Highlander 2??? I can totally top it." dare.
Sheesh.
I was willing to give them fight cinematography points, and then there kept being fight scenes, so that was out of the question. And then there were just no more points.
The Guardian, guy....what was he guarding? The eclipse? Of the universe?
At least Methos lived. And I love the idea of him in fringed leather, but that was more a Village People kind of a thing. But I'm flexible.
Back to the Guardian--for a while it sounded to me like all his lines were someone else's. Like, he sounded like Christopher Lambert for a while.
I dunno.
Weird.
And incredibly craptacular.

Agree with Sumi -- I enjoyed Chuck way more than Bionic Woman. Although Chuck has some goofy bits, it's no more than you'd find in a typical Buffy ep.

Maybe I'll try Chuck in time. The promo materials put me way way off. Hot chick, bumbling guy? Yikes.

I love this. According to IMDB, we got off lucky.
Joel Soisson's version of the script featured Duncan MacLeod living in a gas station in the middle of the desert, next to a run-down airplane. Also in the script, MacLeod smoked, wore cowboy boots and a hat, and had a pet monkey named Connor.
Or maybe that would have been better. I mean...monkey. Named Connor.

I think Duncan with a monkey named Connor would have been comedy gold.

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.
We named the monkey Connor.
Bwahahahah. I'm willing to bet that that version would have been far more watchable.
If you were sufficiently drunk, whereas no amount of mind-altering substances would forgive what they did film.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I dunno: as I said it was pretty much comedy gold anyway. Two minute summary of entire series. Villain in bad professional wrestler costume who sings the series theme song! Cannibals who crucify their enemies! Really bad astrophysics! Stereotypical priest/hypocrite as secondary villain. 2nd grade morality centered around "purity". Complete retcon of the "there can be only one" phrase to Duncan being able to get his wife pregnant. Plus some strong hints said child will be some sort of messiah. At the very least comedy silver...

Having watched the 4400, I was wondering how much it'd suck for Marco to have the power to appear anywhere there was a picture of Jordan Collier.
But only those places. I mean, if they're really having a new power for each person, they're going to have to be pretty specific.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
When I got my first look at the Guardian (when he was fast-forward dicing the guy at the farmhouse), my immediate thought was "One of Pinhead's buddies is tweaking on crystal meth!"
That strobe light fast movement effect that looks so eerie on Samara and the ghost from Stir of Echoes? Looks ridiculous when Edgar Winter's chunkier cousin is using it to zip around like Speedy Gonzales.
