ita, not that my bullshit meter is necessarily trustworthy on these matters, but I have to agree. It really did feel like a kill-off-the-likable-characters moment that was color blind. A number of characters bought the farm, and one of them happened to have dark skin .
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I think the new Dr. Who series has more color-blind cred than almost anything that's shot in the US. Well, maybe excepting Grey's Anatomy, but when I happen across that the only color I see is red .

Me neither.
ION, I am indoctrinating a friend in Farscape. So we hung out and watched Farscape alot over break. ALOT. Man, I love it even more.
(It's so cool that she's so into it. . . and she's getting her family into it too.)
And I realized that I had somehow never seen Liars, Guns and Money Part 1. How the heck did I miss that?

Farscape fans - the complete season dvds vs. the starburst editions - what are the differences?
(I know that they complete season dvds don't have subtitles - but other than that.)

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
sumi, I don't know about the differences between regular boxed vs starburst editions, but I do believe that if you have the subtitles turned on for your tv, the Farscape dvds will subtitle in English.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Aw, it was pretty damn adorable to see Tennant and John Simms on Jools Holland's New Year Show! Bless! And the camera was forever panning over to watch them dancing their wee arses off during various different songs! (Also, damn, Kylie looked fab. Gorgeous dress. And her sexy jazzy version of 'I should be so lucky' was for the win, imho.)
