Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Dean Cain was why I watched Lois & Clark. Dean Cain was why I started a wet men site.
God, he's pretty.
On another topic -- I just watched a Jonas season SG1 that was kind of X Filesish -- the town populated by clone Goaulds. RDA wasn't in it -- they said the Tokra were off trying to find a host for his symbiote. He got a symbiote? When was that, exactly? I do remember him being way fucked up recently, but still said he didn't want one. But the seasons blend in my mind.
He didn't want one, but they stuck one in him anyway, cause he was dying. It was a really cool idea which they did nothing at all interesting with.
What was he dying of, that time?
I honestly can't remember. He's been injured so many, many times. I know it was fatal.
Aha! I found it on tvtome. It's the one with the chick frozen in ice. Why does every SFish series have to have a frozen in ice episode?
I don't know, but man, the Stargate Ice!Chick Episode was terrible. I think I blocked the memory out of self-defense.
I can think of an XFiles ice story, which wasn't great, and a Mutant X one that made our SG1 episode look like King Lear.
Ice is bad. I've believed that for a long time, but will anyone listen? Just because "The Thing" pulled it off ...
Why does every SFish series have to have a frozen in ice episode?
Because finding some improbably outfitted supermodel wrapped up in saran wrap would have too many Twin Peaks connotations to be enjoyable for the male sci fi viewers?
I don't know, but man, the Stargate Ice!Chick Episode was terrible. I think I blocked the memory out of self-defense.
Oh, God, yes. Spectacularly bad. I mean, really, really bad, to the point that even my brain (which is really pretty tolerant of Stargate silliness) had to say No More. I think it's the lingering biologist in me that ended up pushing me over the edge - thank God I'm not a physicist.
The only good thing about that episode is that it existed in order to give us Abyss. Angsty multiply-murdered Jack! Gotta love that.
Oy. Yeah, that episode was terrible--non-sensical, cliched, and just a ball of wrong. Yeesh.
I can think of an XFiles ice story, which wasn't great,
You're thinking of the S1 episode, Ice? I lurve that episode, for all the ripping off The Thing it did. I liked the paranoia, and let's face it, anytime Mulder and Scully draw guns on each other? I'm so there. Plus, pre-Sports Night Felicity Huffman and pre-24 Xander Berkeley! (Although they were both bloody annoying and I wanted to smash their heads together before I became fond of the actors.)
