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.
Alexander wasn't totally pulled out of a hat, I can't remember where it came from (where are the hardcore Star Trek fans when you need them!) I want to say it was his dog's name but that just sounds to weird.
I think it was a family name, somehow.
He was married to Nana Visitor but they're divorced now
Oh, are they? Clearly I don't keep up with enough of the Trek gossip.
I saw him at a con very early in DS9's run...maybe first season. He was adorable and charming and very nice to all the fans.
Hmmm, my tape ran out right after the show broke for commercial post quickening -- did anything interesting happen in that last scene? (I'm talking Highlander yesterday -- the Byron quickening which was cheese cheese cheese.)
I adore adore adore "Our Man Bashir". The writers of DS9 so got the nature of the Star Trek phenomenon, and pop culture, and how their characters would define themselves in terms of 20th C ideas and so on. And then they had all these excellent actors to act their hearts out with those ideas.
Wrod. DS9 is my favouritest Trek ever.
I'm practically teary at finding DS9 love here. Engaging characters, good actors, interesting stories, arcs, follow-through, humor, epic-ish battles, James Darren, Principal Snyder. I mean come ON. Show rocked.
Also, Tom Welling (sp?) is so pretty. But, do they botox him or something before each episode? I just want to scream, "REACT!!!!" sometimes. He is very pretty, though.

It was very short. Duncan shows up at the bar. Joe looks relieved that he's alive. Methos is inscrutably Methos. They have a drink. Methos says that Byron's life had become a tragedy, and Duncan says, "And we all know how those end."

Totally. The awareness that what they're writing is a series, rather than an endless set of stand-alone stories-- and the skill to make that work. And things that are meant to be funny that actually are! And Jadzia Dax.

Yeah. The thought that comes to my mind, reading this, is "pretty like Spike, wooden like Angel." Which is either an insightful comment, or a really scary look at my brain.

No weirder than Burrell or Java Cat. You know, when I was growing up there was a news guy in New York on Channel 4 who was Ti-Hua Chang, and he was just Ti-Hua Chang, and that was that. (He grew up in the US, I think, so he did switch the order of names from the Chinese style.) I don't know if he's still on Channel 4 or not. He was kind of cool.
Then again, I still live in the city of Jorge Quiroga. We're getting better at this stuff.

He is in a perpetual state of surprise. The world is shocking to a man like Tom Welling. One wonders if he has anterograde amnesia. (Like in Memento without the scruffiness factor, nor the driving force, nor the tattoos, nor the coolness.) I sort of think this must be true of all Abercrombie models, or else you would never be able to convince them that standing around naked is a way to sell clothes.
Enterprise is a very bad show, but nothing on it is quite so bad as the AWFUL AWFUL REALLY BAD STUPID SONG!!!!!
Dead Like Me might well be shouldering a few other shows out the way if it continues to be this good though.
Thank god, another DLM fan. But I know you're in the UK, UTTAD, so clearly you're gaining your knowledge by nefarious means.
.... on the other hand, so am I. I just watched Bicycle Thief last night. Fun episode, a nice break from last week's angst. And I loved the swoony artist: very cute, and smarter than you think at first.
Took me a while to figure out that Mason was there to take both souls, though. ::sob::
But I feel kinda bad for George, going back the next day. Oy.
But I feel this is somehow counterbalanced by the fact that Stargate has possibly the best theme music ever.
I love the various instruments are counterpointing each other through the whole thing, it's very multi-layered, and really works for me.
