I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I just took the quiz, and ended up with a lot of ties. They placed me on Babylon 5 (which I never watched, because it never pinged on my conciousness until partway through and a friend told me I needed to watch it from the beginning, and I just never got around to it). Anyway, my top results looked like so:

75% Babylon 5 (Babylon 5)

75% Moya (Farscape)

75% Deep Space 9 (Star Trek)

69% Serenity (Firefly)

69% Heart of Gold (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

69% Millenium Falcon (Star Wars)

69% Galactica (Battlestar: Galactica)

63% Andromeda Ascendant (Andromeda)

The tie-breaking questions (I forget the exact wording, but essentially it was 'which is the most true') -- a) always question your government, b) you would do something completely evil if it meant saving thousands of lives, and c) being with escaped prisoners would be fine as long as they're trustworthy -- have me trying to figure out which questions apply to which shows. I can assume the escaped prisoners apply to Moya. I'm not sure about the "completely evil" part. And I think pretty much every SF show questions the government, that's just part of the canon.

Our wings are not tired.

I watch the CBS Sunday Morning show. It is one of my few routines.

NBC gets me for Heroes, ABC for Lost, FOX for House. SciFi for lots of stuff if I can. Not much happens real time anymore.

Monday: HIMYM on CBS, Heroes on NBC.
Tuesday: Reaper on CW, Nip/Tuck on FX starting this month.
Wednesday: Pushing Daisies on ABC.
Thursday: Supernatural on CW, Scrubs on NBC later this month.

NBC - Heroes, Journeyman, Life (so far)

ABC - DSM, Pushing Daisies

Fox - House, Reaper (so far)

CW- Supernatural

OK, there's something still not clicking about Journeyman for me, but the opening scenes with the (I'm assuming) publisher and editor going on about buyouts and cutbacks?

I'm impressed. They pretty much nailed what's really going on.

Hrm. OK. I take that back. Now I just got much more interested in this episode.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Which sci-fi crew would you best fit in with? You scored as a Moya (Farscape) You are surrounded by muppets. But that is okay because they are your friends and have shown many times that they can be trusted. Now if only you could stop being bothered about wormholes. Moya (Farscape) 81% Serenity (Firefly)75% Nebuchadnezzar (The Matrix)69% Babylon 5 (Babylon 5)69% Galactica (Battlestar: Galactica)69% Deep Space Nine (Star Trek)56% SG-1 (Stargate)56% Heart of Gold (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)50% Bebop (Cowboy Bebop)50% FBI's X-Files Division (The X-Files)50% Millennium Falcon (Star Wars)44% Enterprise D (Star Trek)38% Andromeda Ascendant (Andromeda)31%

And I have watched every single one of these shows and imagined myself as part of the crews! Ha!

Journeyman: I guess he's going to have to have that talk with his son after all.

When the episode started and they were walking around and the dad had the kid on his shoulders, I could not tell if it was Reed Diamond or not. They were well cast as brothers. I wonder if Kevin McKidd practices sounding like Diamond.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Moya and Heart of Gold tied for me at 88%

Which is...about right.

On Journeyman: The Pluto thing irked me. If this wasn't on right after Heroes, I don't think I'd bother.

quester, that was an awesome moment

Oddly, this episode is kinda making me miss working in a newsroom.

Quick, somebody, talk me down.
