Ummm, I don't know that it sucks. I'm concerned that Sam Witwer may not have the range of Aiden Turner - but we'll see.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has it aired yet? Or is that your point?
That's exactly my point. Apparently because Coupling sucked and SyFy cancelled Caprica, Being Human is going to be awful.
I think the writing staff looks solid, and the cast looks serviceable, and the ads are too damned short, so I'm going to be radical and make up my mind after I actually see an episode.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ha! yes, I'm planning to watch the show, but seeing as I've watched shitty SyFy movies in the past, I'm not sure what that says about me.
I am going in with dead low expectations though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I generally wait for other Buffistas to form opinions for me. It keeps me from wasting time watching shows that might suck.

Ugh! Farscape season two is on TEN DISCS. I might have to upgrade my Netflix to two-discs-at-a-time so I can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. What in the world could POSSIBLY be justification for only putting two episodes on a disc?
And, according to Netflix, one disc is episodes 18 & 22 and another is 19 through 21. WHY WOULD THIS BE?
I am annoyed.

I just checked amazon.com and it tells me that Farscape season two is on six discs. Which is, you know, reasonable. But why would there be two different sets of the same season? Weird weird weird.

Beware of watching by production numbers. The three-parter "Look at the Princess" has out-of-order production numbers because they were written/broken later. Do not watch season 2 in production-number order!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
19-21 is a three-parter. I think the way they fixed that for the complete series boxed set was to make one disc 18 + bonus featurettes, and then 19-22 together on the last one.

Hmm. Weird. I'm assuming that the order they come in on the DVDs is the order they are supposed to be watched, in, though. Yes? I'm just confused now.
I suppose I shouldn't worry about it yet, I haven't even finished season one yet (I've seen through 1x20, so I have one more disc coming) - but I'm really getting into it so I want to jump straight into season two!

I think a drama with occasional black humor has a lot better chance to be translated to American sensibilities successfully than a sitcom did. Though ideally they might have waited until after the British original wrapped production and stopped airing new episodes on a rival US channel.
