Buffy ,'Beneath You'
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.
memfault: Jewel Staite's character
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.
No Torchwood talk? All I can say is, Owen's still nasty, but exponentially less so this episode some how. And, poor Tosh - she just doesn't get a break.
Also, and sorry for this, but look-s, voice- and, worst of all, teeth-wise, Jack is starting to look scarily like Tom Cruise to me (with perhaps a bit of Mark Harmon thrown in). Colo(u)r me disturbed.
This was Tosh's episode and it was facinating. The silliness of Owen & Gwen's thoughts were starkly contrasted with the torture that Ianto feels all the time, every minute...wow.
Also, Tosh couldn't hear Jack until he deliberately wanted her to. Is Jack, or was Jack human to begin with? I'm just now watching the first season of Who via netflix and only really saw the last of Eccleston's reign.
He was - I think that the whole being brought back from the dead has changed something essential in Jack.
It's possible that a Time Agent with a long history of dealing with (often telepathic) aliens and running cons might have mental defenses that normal 21st century people wouldn't. I'm not entirely convinced his lack of projected thoughts is a result of being resurrected.
I am convinced it's because Russel T. Davies has seen "Earshot," though.
Also, and sorry for this, but look-s, voice- and, worst of all, teeth-wise, Jack is starting to look scarily like Tom Cruise to me (with perhaps a bit of Mark Harmon thrown in). Colo(u)r me disturbed.
Oh, this was absolutely a problem for me the first two eps that Capt. Jack appeared on Who. Especially because he was in uniform, so it reminded me of... oh, what's it called. The "You can't handle the truth!" movie. A Few Good Men? Anyway, yeah, I feel your pain. It went away for me, though.
