Xander ,'Touched'
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.
I hope that ABC puts PD up On Demand and particularly On Demand in HD because if ever a show deserves HD - this one does.
Frankenbuddha - she disappears herself and we never know what happens to her. Henry gets arrested and taken away by the MPs. Stark proposes to Allison.
That's the gist, right?
(We don't hear Allison's response. . . perhaps next summer.)
Sumi, thanks. Poor Henry.
An annual rant - why oh why, when the network's advertising the next episode of a new show, do they invariably say "an all-new episode"??? It's a new show - it's the first (or second) episode - how can it NOT be new?!?!?!?
You're looking for logic from network advertising?
hope springs eternal and all that ... I think it's mostly the endless repetitions for every show, constantly repeating that it's new. sigh.
The style of the PD voiceover feels very specific, but I can't attach it to a genre or anything else. Of what is it typical? Similar to early Desperate Housewives, perhaps, but that's not enough lineage.
It's a bit like Barry Lyndon - very dry and just-the-facts-please, but clearly being spoken with one eybrow raised.
Jean Sheperd's "A Christmas Story"?
I thought Pushing Daisies was quirky, and charming in places (actually, all the places it was charming were Lee Pace-related places).
I like quirky, don't get me wrong. I cut my teeth on Twin Peaks. But I felt like PD was trying just a *leetle* too hard to be quirky. But, you know, that was just the premiere, so hopefully it'll ease up into a nice steady mellow quirky groove.
Also, the narrator needs to go. Just a personal preference of mine.
But goodness, Lee Pace was....kinda luminous, wasn't he? Which is good.
Loved Pushing Daisies, don't have anything to say that hasn't been said.
The plot of Bionic Woman was ludicrous; I understand that they're trying to make the bad guys all mysterious and everything, but I was just going WTF the whole time. And I'm tired of shows where the "good guys" torture people.
The second episode of Reaper wasn't quite as good as the pilot, but it doesn't matter; they could have an episode of nothing but Ray Wise making facial expressions and I would want to watch it.
