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.
Yes, Frankenbuddha.
Hey Kalshane, I managed to get my hands on an import copy of White Night this weekend. Woo! Spoilers:
It moved really fast, especially because I was comparing it to Proven Guilty, which I had just finished a day or two before. And in addition to moving fast, it felt shorter. And the battle in the White Court caves was really cool, but very confusing--I couldn't track the action very well. Still, Butcher is wonderful with description and with humour, so I loved it on both those scores. And since I was reading Storm Front parallel with PG and WN, it's fascinating to see how much Harry has changed since these books began.
I think that the names changed in the teleivsion show help me divorce the books from the show, which is a good thing. Where Dresden in the books reminds me (affectionately) of the D&D gamers and MtG players I grew up with, Dresden on the show reminds me more of a working class journeyman type. That's how Blackthorne plays him--like my uncles, down to earth and interested in the simple pleasures, but Dresden with duties beyond that. I like both of them, but they aren't always similar.
Also, the difference in Terrance Mann being Bob and the Bob and the book is hugely, and, I think, necessary for the television show. TM gives the audience, and Dresden, someone to imprint on for all the super-magic stuff. He's more a teacher and less of an encyclopaedia, and in the context of the show I like that better.
This really makes me want to go back and watch everything again. And I still have like four or five Dresden books to get through--one of the things I love about both the books and the show is the interplay of politics. It's stuff that fascinates and entertains me.

the camera could see Central Park, then people in Central Park would have been able to see the ESB, no?

Tho' it would almost be worth it to A) see if they would interview artists, and if so B) watch Pete deal with interviewers.
But on the whole, pleasedeargodno.
Ah, now I'm nostalgic for the days when the MtG gamers were like little crack-addicted junkies clogging up the halls and causeways at GenCon with their impromptu card games.
I kept forgetting to wear cleats.
And was Daniel getting captured last week just an excuse to give MS a week off?
Yeah--he looked at RDA's whole deal and said "hey, I ALSO want time off to spend with my family!" And so they gave him time off. (Whether he actually spent it with his family or not I have no idea, though I think he and his wife had another child around that time or something, so.)
SGA, but really, just fannishly funny...
I'M IN UR OTP RUININ' UR SQUEE!
