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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hee! I wanted Marco to hold up his hands as the camera spun around and yell, "I did it!"
Ha! So true.

Hee. And, what, Meghan can turn random things into flowers? Reeeeal helpful there. Although I suppose she can turn people's guns into flowers all the time now.
The 4400
seems to be taking its cues from
Lost.
Each finale, they shake things up and basically reinvent the premise. Now, instead of a world full of promicin shots, it's a Seattle full of p-positives.
