As a rule, I am not a fan of the twee, yet it works for me on PD because underneath all the shiny candy-coated exterior, this show is freakin' DARK
see, I think that's why I like it as well. Thanks for articulating!
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

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.

Thrive to spite them
Vonnie that's why I like it too!
And I like the voice over for the most part, it's like having a story read to me. But that's just me.
I just wish they'd bring back the super intense colors.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey--flashback question. Masters of Science Fiction on ABC--there was an ep with Anne Heche where she bought a mine-detecting A-almost-I and goes to court to prevent it being destroyed. My recording cut off during the court proceedings where they realise that her AI basically shoved another one under the bus so he wouldn't blow up.
What happened next?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, what happened next:
the bot was "acquitted" and she went to live with the bot (who I recall kept going downhill) and then she became some kind of weird spiritual guru and moved on to another cause.

That's kinda of ... unsatisfying. I had wondered if the bot would be found to be sentient, and then condemned for botslaughter, or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think my eyes must be tired. I keep misreading things, and this:
mine-detecting
I read as mime-detecting.
!
I guess that could be useful.

I can't read the word mimes or hear the word mimes or see mimes (which I doesn't happen very often at all) without thinking about the movie Shakes, the Clown which I did not particularly like, but there was a funny bit with clowns chasing the hated mimes.
Um. t /random Sorry.
I have to go dig up my Flood CD and load it onto my new(ish) computer so I can upload it for Vonnie. She needs Flood! For some reason, all I have on the computer right now is Particle Man. Which I like, but... where's the rest of the album? Weird.

Ha! I don't catch Southpark very often anymore, but it just came on, and it opened with a black screen and Cartman saying, "Previously, on Battlestar Galactica..." Hee.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
