Oz ,'Him'
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.
Have watched it now, and...it didn't work for me as much. Somehow faux SG1 seemed more earnest and sincere and sadder to kill. Or broken and sadder to kill...like Tasha Yar in that TNG episode where the Enterprise C comes through that hole.
Two Ronons is way to distracting to be able to picture safely for any length of time. And I kinda wanted only one of the Teylas to be pregnant. Did both Ronons have the recent tattooing--the stuff he got when he was hanging with Dacascos?
Deep Discount [link] is having a buy one get one free sale on Fox/MGM products, including X-Files, SGA, SG1, Bones, Dead Like Me, The Addams Family and M*A*S*H. I had already bought several M*A*S*H seasons for my mother. Aargh.
Thanks, Ginger! I just bought myself both seasons of Dead Like Me for $28! Merry Christmas to me!
Woot! That's awesome, Ginger - thanks for posting that.
I didn't get to watch all of SGA last night; I did think that Jewel did a good job of being replicatory. I want to rewatch to see what I assume is Elizabeth's swan song? That's a shame. I really liked her when they used her well, and I always liked her chemistry with Shep. Ah, well.
Yeah, this was her Cordelia-kiss-off.
I wanted the Ronans to go off and duel...
. . . or something.
sumi owes me a new monitor.
I watched Tin Man and was seriously underwhelmed. Part of the problem is that it dark and murky on my tv and I wasn't engaged. I really didn't care about DG (and I'm laying a lot of that on the actress). I HATED the actress who played Azkadelia. I read an interview where she said she played the character really over the top, something to do with all the special effects and wanting to be larger than life. I think it was a really really bad choice, no one else had that level of over emoting (except, oddly the Mother, I didn't get her at all) and it just magnified how OTT she was.
There were some interesting ideas, but it was just eh. For the most part.
Azkadelia actually grew on me. I agree that the actress made bad choices, or was directed poorly, but I don't think she's talentless.
The only time she really felt natural was when Azkadeilia was trying to fake out DG. That was the only time when I didn't feel like she was trying so hard. I don't know if I've seen her in other stuff (checking out imdb I probably haven't) so I don't know if she's a bad actress or just made bad choices, but considering what I read and the rest of the movie I'll go with bad choices and bad directing.
