BW: I liked the pilot sort of in spite of myself, eyerolled through ep. 2, and ep. 3, I fast forwarded everything that didn't have Katee Sackhoff in it, and then talked right over the scenes she was in. I figure if all I want to do is look at Katee Sackhoff without actually paying attention to a show, there's a whole internet for that.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Art Crawl!!!
I had the repeat of BW on tonight but I spent almost the entire hour on the phone and really don't feel as though I missed a thing.
Why is it that the BSG webisodes from last summer seemed to have so much more going on than these Razor flashbacks? (Also, wasn't Billy Adama's eyes are blue? Is that a clue or something?)

Are you guys just watching Odyssey 5 now? I watched that four years ago or so. Or is it a remake or a different show? Because it sounds similar. Veeeery similar.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Jars, SciFi channel bought rerun rights to the one-year series from Showtime, so it's new to most people (including me). I tuned in because I saw a truly fabulous vid a few years ago based on it, and was intrigued enough to give it a try. I'll certainly try to watch next week to see if the premise holds up....

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I have that vid! (Well, I suspect I do, anyway - and, hey, there can't be that many fabulous vids for this show, right?) And it's the reason that I would be tempted to watch the show too.
(Which, let it be noted, is by NO means the first time that the producers of a source text have benefited from fanvids/fanfic prompting me to seek out the DVDs/books/albums upon which the vid or fic was based.)

It also doesn't suffer for fan-favorites Peter Weller and Chris Gorham in starring roles -- the other cast looks good, too.

What is even happening?
Pushing Daisies:
AHHHH. Broadway, not TV or Movies. OK. I didn't see a West Wing credit for her on IMDB, but I might have glossed over it.
Kristin Chenoweth is also Aaron Sorkin's ex. She was reportedly the basis for Sarah Paulson's Harriet character on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Still very good but they gotta stop the 15 years 4 months 2 days 17 minutes crap.
Oh, I hope they don't stop any of the repetition, silly names, or narration. I suppose they could use it a little bit more sparingly, but it's a fairy tale. Elements like 'The Pie Maker' and 'the girl called Chuck' are, to me, a wonderful balance for the horrifying premise of the show.
Oh, teh word. I had some Lee Pace love from Wonderfalls, but here he is totally swoon-worthy. (Which I heartily approve.)
I never understood Lee Pace's appeal during Wonderfalls, but Pushing Daisies has remedied that.
PD ratings for ep.2 : [link]
About 10 million viewers, down by 21% from the pilot. I'd expected the numbers to fall, but that is quite a bit of a drop.
I think it still did well (maybe even improved) in the more coveted demos, but I can't find where I read that. I hope so. I like an awful lot of TV this season, but I would trade almost all of it for Pushing Daisies, except perhaps for The Office and...
Eureka:
the Acacian Field (or whatever)
Hee. I kept think of it as the Elysian fields, Consuela. Eureka is easily my favorite show (okay, Pushing Daisies is giving it a huge run for its money, but there've only been two episodes, so I'm trying to keep things in perspective). I was only disappointed by two Eureka episodes this season. Unfortunately one of those was the finale.
I have yet to watch it again, but I was just left with this overwhelming feeling of disappointment. The plot was overly complicated, and so much of what was set up last season and teased out over this season seemed to be dropped. I'm thrilled that the show got picked up for another season. I hope to watch it again this weekend, and see if I feel differently.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is anyone else watching SJA? Can I mention again how awesome Elisabeth Sladen is?

Is anyone else watching SJA?
I watched the first pair and have the second pair on the MacMini waiting to be watched.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Ok, once again Sci-Fi ran long on SGA and my tape cut off while Ronan was confronting his friends.(I think the last bit I saw was him finding out they killed the other two member of the group when they wouldn't convert) What happened after that?
