thanks!

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Amych, could you spell out the "dot" in that? I know you are a stompy and all, but It seems to me we have tried to keep blatant use of the names of ahem sites off the record.
I could be wrong, and I'll get dumped on, but it's better to mention it, than to not.
Maybe it's only a consensus thing in the tech thread, I dunno.
EDIT: Maybe it was just a few of us, as I see mention of it after it's original death in tech 2. I don't know any more.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I would mind, actually -- although it's my personal stance and nothing remotely to do with stompitude. We're not googleable in-thread, and we've talked about suprnova and other sites for years now. Frankly, being all prudish and "ahem"-ish about it feels to me like the terrorists mpaa has already won, as I've said before.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Daniel, you may have been thinking of a discussion in Minearverse about not posting direct links to torrents (I think at the time it was the unaired eps of The Inside), which is more problematic (even though we did it all the time back in the days of the Angel and Buffy wildfeeds). As far as just mentioning the names of torrent sites, I'm with Amy on this. The MPAA already knows who the torrent sites are. I think obfuscating them in thread just makes it more confusing for folks here.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...

Ah, so that was it.

Also, it may be a mistake to mention torrenting episodes where industry-Buffistas can see it -- not that the ones who make it here are likely to mind, but it's still flaunting piracy in their faces.

I didn't mention t*rrenting, I mentioned "aheming", which is buffista code. We discussed it, and it provides plausible deniability :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saying "ahem" instead of torrent isn't not mentioning it, though.
eta: total xpost, and I was mostly thinking of the DCJ conversation, not this one.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I haven't been in this thread for ages since I'm not caught up with Eureka and The 4400, but I'm here, squinting, since it's the freakin' new fall season already and there are tons of new genre-ish shows.
I would put Chuck, Bionic Woman, Reaper, Journeyman and Pushing Daisies as Box-Set shows. Can we discuss them willy-nilly without white font here during the Big Fall Premiere Week, which starts... oh, in 6 hours? I'm trying out at least one episode of each of those and would like some discussion, but doing it all here would be fairly chaotic.
