Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

Ok, I'd totally forgotten that SNL already did the Terminator kitty...

November 16, 1991 host: Linda Hamilton — "The Tooncinator." Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and her son John (Edward Furlong) are trying to escape from the Terminator (Phil Hartman), but the Terminator has come to inform them about the Tooncinator. Sarah is astounded that they would send a robot cat from the future that could drive. ("But not very well," Terminator amends.) The Tooncinator arrives and is impervious to both car crashes and gun fire. Eventually Sarah stops the car, over the terrified Terminator's objections, because she thinks that Tooncinator just wants to be their kitty. They all then go over the cliff.

eta: Love this categories thing at the end of the Wikipedia article:

Categories: Fictional drivers | Puppets | LSU | Fictional cats

"Fictional drivers"? Yep. [link]

During the invasion of Iraq, I saw a TV interview with a US Navy fighter pilot... he was all very macho and competent and everything, but on the screen they put his call sign "Toonces" along with his name, so I thought it detracted somewhat from his image.

Yeah, I can just imagine all the ribbing he gets: "He can fly, just not very well."

Art Crawl!!!

Hey, Torchwood 2.1 is up On Demand - they're calling it a "Director's Cut" and although I cannot be sure that I saw anything new - the transitions do seem less abrupt.

And they ran that promo that Jon was talking about earlier. So, if you have On Demand - I recommend it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So, just saw the Season finale of Doctor Who Season 3.

Huh.

Dobby. Didn't see that coming. And Rusty doesn't seem to know whether to make the Doctor be Jesus or Mary, does he? Although he's mostly going for Jesus. Which seems a trifle excessive, frankly.

However, I heart the Master. And Jack. And Martha. And Martha's mum. Not terribly smitten by the storytelling, though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I thought you meant Rudolph Valentino and was worried you were giving away a spoiler for a future episode!
