Didn't this end up being a Xena ep? It was weird.
It was a failed pilot that got reedited into a Xena episode. If it had gotten picked up, we'd all be talking about what a kick-ass action hero Selma Blair is right now.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
eta: Seriously? Even "Leela's Home World?" I don't think I have cried so hard at any animated thing ever as I did at that. Lilo & Stitch doesn't even come close.
Seriously.
The list of things I dislike that people I respect think are fantastic is long. Futurama, Freaks and Geeks, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

One never has to apologize for hating a Jim Carrey movie.

Freaks and Geeks, however...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Freaks and Geeks, however...
Ehhhh, what little I've seen leaves me cold. To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of My So-Called Life, either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Family Guy bored me to death before I could watch enough to hate it. Selma Blair leaves me cold, as does that other chick she reminds me of that everyone here seems to love. Invisible Girl, also on Heroes. Starts with a C? (So bland I can't even remember her name!)
Freaks and Geeks was fine, not great. Had an offputting smugness that reminded me of My So-Called Life. [HA - FG/MSCL xpost!]
Love Futurama and Eternal Sunshine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of My So-Called Life, either.
I wasn't when I first started watching, either; I wanted to love it, because a writer I loved at Sassy had fallen in love with it, but I saw the first two episodes and was merely, "Ah, kind of nice." Then I went away, came back around "The Zit," and fell hard.
Re-watching from the vantage point of 40 and child-having? I still fell hard, but in a completely different way. All the places where I'd thought the mom was shrill...well, she was still shrill, but I recognized all the shrillness, and the raw terror for her kids, and how brave Bess Armstrong was in her terrified unlikeability.
And, holy fuck, but its documenting of the slow catastrophic collapse from within of an apparently solid marriage was devastating.
It's one of those things that rewards rewatching at different points in life. For all values of "rewards" that equal "makes you feel like your nerves are being scraped raw with a razor, but in a good way." You know, like that.
If you give it a try a few years from now and still don't like it much? You're TOTALLY disowned. Or, pfft, as if. I'm a freak whose favorite novels are things like Moby Dick, Lolita and The Man Who Was Thursday, which love has completely inured me to lots of people passionately disliking some of my best beloveds.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

high-fives Jessica
Part of my dislike is that I was in HS (senior year) when MSCL was on, and all of my fellow outcasts were identifying with it SO HARD that it was annoying. That, and I was focusing on getting out of the suckiness of that life and didn't want any reminders of the current reality. I think. It was a while ago.

OK, let's just air all our potentially heretical TV proclivities.
For instance, Millennium was a better show than the X-Files (at least for the first two seasons, and the third was far less damaging retroactively than the last few seasons of X-Files).
