Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Willow ,'Lessons'


Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who

I'm glad this makes logical sense to you but... really? Henry manufacturing an emergency is no more legitimate than him TALKING to Allison and Stark and the three of them working together to get to the transporter thingie.

Even if they worked together it seems that there still would have needed to be an emergency for the panic room to get down to that level and for the emergency equipment to power up. Henry could have been taking one for the team. I'm not sure that makes the best sense, but personally I'm going to have to rationalize it one way or another to live with that ending. I'd love to have the podcasts for the last two episodes to try and understand some of the rationale behind the plot choices.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

My VCR cut off just before the end of this week's SGA. Where is the Replicator fleet heading?(and was there anything after that?)

They're heading for a Wraith planet, so, presumably, the code trigger worked. Sam and John had a chat on the balcony - Sam's going back to SGHQ, John will not give up on getting Elizabeth back if there's a chance. I think that was it.

Off to fight the Wraith, so the assumption is that the reprogramming worked.

I think after that was the scene between Sheppard and Carter about Weir. Just people being sad that she's "lost" and John saying something about how they'll find her if there's any chance. And then sad faces.

Thank you. (I didn't realize the clock on my VCR was off. I'll take that into consideration from now on.)

Sheryl, I think they're also running a couple minutes late because of the BSG flashbacks during Flash Gordon. I'd expect that will continue for a while.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Finally caught up with SGA. Well, if they had to write out Weir, that wasn't a bad way to go: she got to be smart and tough and sneaky, and she finally gave an order that Sheppard obeyed.

As for Sam's hair, I got nothing. You can have long hair, but I believe it has to be securely pinned back. But then SGA has never been good with this: Cadman showed up in the control room with her long hair loose around her shoulders, and she was a Marine. Besides, Sheppard's hair is hardly regulation, either.

Yes, well, in the commentary, they pretty much admitted that they had her hair down because they thought it was hot.

Though I wouldn't want to lose Sheppard's crazy hair either, so I guess that makes me a hypocrite.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Why didn't they dress her in a slinky negligee instead of a regulation uniform too, while they were at it?

At least with Sheppard, you have the excuses that (1) it's still too short to get caught in machinery or easily grabbed by an opponent (unless said opponent harvests sea urchins on the side); (2) the entire time he's had it he could have been stationed at the ass end of nowhere in Antarctica or in another galaxy—where he's been the highest military authority for all but about a day; and (3) the character has a history of rebelling against authority to the detriment of his career. Cadman would have needed what, two to three years of very indulgent COs BEFORE coming to Atlantis to grow that mane out?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh. So did mine, and I completely forgot to ask. Shows you how much the ep stuck with me!

Sam's going back to SGHQ

Really? I thought she was being brought on to replace Weir.
