The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Man, John.

I would like to point out that I called Elizabeth coming back at the mid-season break back when she left the show.

Thrive to spite them

Wow, John at the end. SGA shows these flashes of ruthlessness about John, but they don't really follow through with the characterization the way I'd like. But that's the kind of show it is.

I think Atlantis approached Due South levels of slash tonight. I am a little in shock.

Art Crawl!!!

askye - no wonder he looked familiar.

I really think that Ronon should hang out with Riggins.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Matthew Gilbert at the Boston Globe really doesn't like "Tin Man": [link]

"Tin Man" stars Zooey Deschanel as a young waitress named DG. (Clever! The only thing that might have been more clever: Orothy-day Ale-gay.) DG's workaday world is filmed in color - don't worry - but her existence is gray and Goth-tinged. "There has to be more to life than this," she moans to her parents, before they all get swept into the tornado that drops them in the vicinity of Oz. Wait, I mean "The O.Z.," which stands for the Outer Zone, which recalls TV shows by Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling as well as "The O.C." That's three, three, three all-time TV classics in one very subtle reference.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Every preview I've seen of Tin Man just makes me cringe. Of course I'm still pissed the 1939 version turned the whole thing into a dream.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I got bored during the first hour and went to bed, but somehow I still really want to see the rest. DH says it gets better in hours 2 & 3 (mainly because that's when they completely depart from the Oz stuff and start telling the original story), but since the screeners have no effects I may just wait for it to air.

Our wings are not tired.

I want it to be good, although my family suggests that it could still be a win if it is Mansquito bad.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The effects may make quite a difference to the experience. I already know I'm going to be in trouble because I'm going to be wondering why Temperance Brennan is in Oz.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm going to be wondering why Temperance Brennan is in Oz.

Now that could be a nifty, if trippy, fic.
