I know they're aware that people write slash, but I don't think they're very good at multiple readings of the text.

Actually, again I missed the last few minutes of Atlantis.

After the fight? Uh, they took the crystals back to the planet, and the whole forest slowly started lighting up, which I thought was nicely creepy, and Rodney was like, "Yeah, we should get the hell out of here."

Then there was a shot of John sitting on the new balcony set. Teyla shows up and says, "You couldn't sleep either?" Eventually Rodney, Ronon, Carter, and Keller all show up, and they sit together and exude teamness.

... and somewhere poor Radek is keeping the city running while they party.

Mine cut out, as well. It is findable on YT.

I'm watching Odyessey 5, it's getting interesting. Although it's funny to see all the blurred and bleeped stuff. I definitely need to see the dvds of this.

I didn't see it on Showtime, but stumbled across it somehow through Netflix. My love for it was large.

I liked O5, and I'm bummed we'll never find out the rest of the story.

Very much. Yes.

Oh, my god, there are no women in their brains.

Totally my favorite part of the episode. Actually, tied with the scene with Carter and [memfault: Jewel Staite's character] talking about the alien whateveritwas, because, hey! Two women, talking to each other, about something other than a man!

Keller.

Two women, talking to each other, about something other than a man!

I'm always so proud of the show when they manage this. Once, there was a scene with Weir, Teyla, and Heightmeyer, talking about the monster of the week.

Kate, I totally caught that in this episode, and was unutterably pleased.

That said, I still felt the pacing was odd. It all felt rather languid, somehow, I didn't feel any suspense, and I was totally unimpressed by Shep's big fight scene at the end. So, a great episode for character stuff, but the plot? pffft.

Oh, since we're in Box Set, for those who were wondering what the Farscape production team has been up to:

Tyrannosaurus Azteca, written by Richard Manning (aka Froon, who wrote many of the best episodes of FS) and produced by David Kemper, is the first of apparently five made-for-Scifi movies Kemper's producing for them.

I am told through the grapevine that the script and effects are great, and the cast is awful. I make no guarantees about the racial issues, given the setting. Given the writer, the gender issues are hoped to be, well, less than awful (god knows what the network will have required).

No information on when it's going to air, though: there's nothing about it on SciFi's website yet.

Like Alex O'Laughlin. Hate Moonlight. Watch it anyway. I think it's the looky-lou effect of a traffic accident. It's so bad, I can't look away.

I actually liked this week's Moonlight better than Blood Ties. Possibly because I had read the novel that this week's Blood Ties was based on and preferred the novel.

Detail I loved in Moonlight: when Mick tipped his hat to the woman leaving the ladies' room where whatsername was hiding in the Diner -- so very 1952 and not at all 2007.

And her getting on Emerson's last nerve is quite enjoyable (much like Spike annoying the snot out of Angel season 5).

except she’s also getting on mine!

I didn't even know Dukes of Hazzard had voiceover.

Voiced by Waylon Jennings, even.

Yes, and he’d say things like “how in the world are those Duke boys going to get out of this?”

I keep thinking Couer d' Couers has to be in Canada, fwiw.

Nope. If the town was in Canada, it'd be spelled properly, i.e. Coeur du Coeur.

exactly, which makes me think that it’s some sort of bastardized spelling, probably near Canada, tho.

Oh, I canNOT get used to him without the accent (even though I know that's his normal voice). That throws me even more than the lack of the bleached-out hair.

It helped me that the hair was a different color, separated him from Spike.
