'Conviction (1)'
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.
The "plausible deniability" line was weak
As was the Paris Hilton joke. Old and unfunny.
Joe's performance was magic. He startled me when he turned on Beverly and you saw the potential violence in his anger. Dang. Don't want him mad at me.
And I'm tired of Ally as the anxious mom.
I am too, but the preview had a clip that looks like she really hits it out of the park next week. I know previews can be misleading, but I am interested in seeing her play that out.
I turned to Andi and said, "plausible deniability " just as Stark said it.
Also, the science geek in me noted that if that bun warmer/cappuccino machine of Vincents actually turned to gold, Fargo wouldn't have been able to move it.
Of course, it wasn't *solid* gold, but... according to this [link] a 1 ft by 1 ft sheet of steel 1/16 inch thick would weigh about 2.5 pounds, whereas the same sheet in gold would weigh about 6.3 pounds.
Watched Reaper and liked it quite a bit, even if it is almost exactly the same show as Chuck. Or is Chuck almost exactly the same show as Reaper?
Bionic Woman: I'm kind of meh so far. The other Bionic Woman seems like a much more interesting character .
And should Plei be warned about the completely gratuitous and pointless miscarriage ?
Is she planning on watching?
I feel like Jaime should have had a stronger reaction of some sort to everything that happened and was done to her - I don't know if it's the story or the way it's being told that isn't getting me.
I hated Katee in this. So OTT.
Yeah, she seemed off to me. . . but then she was supposed to be crazy, right?
I think Chuck got the best exposition fairy of any new show I've seen this year. (Exposition fairies love pilot season. They all get together and watch the new shows and compare notes and say things like, "Oooh, nicely integrated." and "You did not just do voice-over. Oh my Gawd, we need to stage an intervention")
I don't think it was just Starbuck...no, I can't come up with any clever play on that...that makes me say the show feels like Galactica in it's aesthetic. It's trying to be very hip and edgy.
Very meh. I think boyfriend's my favorite character, which isn't saying much. But if the actors get better, and the writers have a stickectomy of the anus, it might be watchable.
ETA: Oh, and hatedhatedhated the girl in the car moment. Was trying waaaay too hard. And poorly edited together.
whoops! wrong thread!
Crazy, damaged, Starbuck variant...whatever. But she wasn't in the same show as everyone else, and I kinda liked their show better. Not loved, but interested.
My main beef with it is that I had no idea why Jaime ends up so badass at the end. I don't mean in terms of the martial skills (thank god they handwaved that), just in terms of the mettle (no pun, honest) required to spit back after all this happened to her.
We don't yet know if the miscarriage was pointless, do we? It may play into the plot or character development in future episodes.
