Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I will continue to be befuzzled as to why the fairies were screwing around with Gwen FOR NO APPARANT REASON AT ALL.
I hear what you're saying, but it didn't actually bother me, because it just struck me as a typically fairy kind of thing. They don't need a reason to fuck with you, and that's part of why they're scary critters. They're whimsical, and Captain Logic isn't steering their tugboat because they ate him and wove his entrails into a butterfly net. Because it struck them as fun.
I kept finding myself watching a little bit of Chuck, and then clicking away whenever it started to drag, which turned out to be quite a lot last night. Then I'd realize that there was absolutely nothing else on worth watching and flip back to Chuck. Lather, rinse, repeat, at least until the final fight at Buy More. Baldwin is still good, but the rest just has me at meh.
The CIA woman and the scary international arms dealer (also a woman) had an all-out brawl on the rooftop near the end, and even *I* could tell whoever the stuntwoman was for the CIA woman didn't know how to throw a punch.
I started to post last night that that fight was horrendously bad. It made my head hurt, so ita should probably avoid it altogether. Note to stunt coordinator: Kicks, even when blocked, should still be set up so that the kick ends closer than three feet away from its target. Just waving the foot around in the air won't do anything, unless you have lethal foot odor.
The combination of these descriptions of horrible fight scenes and people being taught how to dance is giving me Farscape flashbacks.
And not the good kind.
Jazz-hand-fu!!!!
I liked Chuck. I like how he isn't completely incompetent. I liked how he was smart enough to his interrogator exactly what she wanted to hear, without actually revealing anything.
Pacing is a problem, though. It was just like Supernatural in that it ended ten minutes before the episode was over.
I liked Chuck too.
The Tango Lessions with Capt. Awesome were hilarious and so were many, many things that Casey did. AB is so great in this.
BSG: 1st Season 4 promo!!
Chuck was entertaining despite the bad fight scene. What I really liked were the opening credits! Weird that it took until ep 3 to show them.
Almost forgot: in the big Art Auction prep montage - my favorite thing was Casey and his bonsai tree.
