Is anyone watching Foundation?

We just started, and we're enjoying it two eps in. Visually gorgeous.

And also, Lee Pace. Oh, right, I already said visually gorgeous.

Since Tim has been helping his brothers clean out their parents' house after work over the past few weeks, I've been binge-watching Roswell while he's over there, and it's pretty entertaining, despite how fucking old the soundtrack makes me feel.

That sounds like a good option for my background tv. DH generally has news on in the background while working, but the repetitiveness makes me nuts. I prefer to queue up a series that either I have seen before, or that doesn't really require full attention as background noise. Having music in the background works sometimes, but a series works better with my need to multi-task.

Uh, how far into the series are you? Not that there's anything to make you stop watching, it just gets more and more preposterous.

I finished S3E10 last night. I'm expending a lot of energy rolling my eyes at every single scene involving anything medical or sciencey. I can willingly suspend my disbelief for the concept of hot aliens, but holy shit that is not how medicine or science works.

I have zero use for Max. I don't dislike him; he's just...wallpaper. Which makes Jones equally uninteresting. Like, just fuck off to some other planet, my guy, and bore them to death.

I deeply love Kyle Valenti's perpetual "What new fuckery are you dragging me into?" face.

I would have been so happy if every episode featured Alex whacking his dad in the back of the head with his crutch.

And while I'm wholeheartedly a fan of Michael and Alex getting together, it turns out that I'm also really a big fan of a good old-fashioned canonical threesome. Way to go, show.

I'm pleased to tell you that all of your thoughts are correct. A friend and I always talk about how the show would fall apart without Kyle, because they need him as a doctor, and because he usually has custody of the one brain cell.

Not exactly spoilery for S4, but I would have wanted to know: Tyler Blackburn had some kind of back injury at some point, so he's in maybe 4 or 5 eps of the season.

Oh yeah, I did see that on Tumblr. Terrible timing, man.

he usually has custody of the one brain cell.

I mean, none of the rest of them should be allowed to have the brain cell anyway.

I forget where this should go, but I think here… anyone want to talk about WWDOITS Guillermo coming out to his family and the fight with Nadja ?

I caught up with Roswell enough to watch it in real time, so my big question (pretty much for Dana, I think) is -- Malex handprint: yes or no? I feel like there's a better than 50% chance at yes. (I'm assuming the showrunners aren't stupid enough to kill their gay, so I'm ignoring that as a possibility entirely and just trying to figure out how exactly Alex will be saved. Because I *also* want to see Sanders in a tux. Who wouldn't?)

I think that narratively speaking, it makes perfect sense, and with this show, that is absolutely no guarantee that it will actually happen. But a fangirl can hope and try to manifest the handprint she wants to see in the world.
