It's repeating this Friday.
Oh, good! Thanks.
I'm liking Isaiah Washington's character in BW.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So, I DVRd the later episode of EUREKA last night, and (I'm guessing due to FRELLING wrestling) it started 6 minutes late. I saw Beverly about to zap herself in the machine. Can someone give me the synopsis of the rest of the episode?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
a BIG touch of Tim Burton (via Barry Sodendfeld, I guess).
It reminded me of Big Fish.
The only thing that bugged (and it's the littlest of quibbles as I lovedlovedloved the show) was Jim Dale's repeated use of "z years, y months, x days, w hours and v minutes." I hope they drop that going forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Lee Pace is the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER OMG.

Yeah, the over explication was a bit much, but I hope they keep Jim Dale as narrator (and, possibly, introduce him as a character at some point, perhaps).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Lee Pace is the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER OMG.
Isn't he just? When he looked at Chuck in the funeral home and said in the softest voice, "that's not weird. It's symmetrical" with this adorable shy smile, I swear, it broke something in me. I think it might have been one of my ovaries exploding. (What?)
I also loved the scene at Olive's apartment. The height difference cracks me up something fierce. Call me girly, but I love that Lee Pace is taaaaaaallll. He's a tall, cool, lovely drink of water. (And Olive's robe matches the wallpaper! Heh.)
On BW front: Someone on the show clearly is a Wilco fan, 'cause I heard both "Sky Blue Sky" and "What Light" during the episode. Also, they played the Noisettes during the training montage! Alas, the rest of the show failed to be exciting.

I'm only watching BW for reasons of nostalgia. Hopefully, it will be canceled soon so I don't have to keep TiVoing it out of pity.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Darin Morgan? I thought he would be, you know, either a billionaire somewhere or in a mental institution by now.
I was under the impression that, in fact, he'd been diagnosed with something pretty severe (bipolar, schizophrenia, like that), but a quick google isn't turning up anything definitive. Anyway, I think he's not a billionaire.
(Writing for television is probably among the slower ways to become a billionaire, after working at Bertucci's and advertising your putting-together-IKEA-furnitute skills on Craigslist.)

Art Crawl!!!
I loved PD too! It's sooo lovely and fractured fairy talesque and yeah, very, very Big Fish.
Lee Pace is adorable!
BW - has definitely improved but is still not that good. But you guys realize that it is beloved of the Network and will never be cancelled? BELOVED. They are already talking spin off with Isaiah Washington.
Oh and I loved seeing that one guy - you know - the Wheelchair Rugby Dude from FNL. (See, stealing BSG AND FNL folks one after another.)

Pushing Daisies is my new favorite. Charm, quirk, and good acting. And I totally agree they need to dial down the narration a tad (but not eliminate it).
