Stargate SG-1. Sorry.
Rats. I was thinking ST-TNG, too.
Stargate seems to like using other people's titles. When ita mentioned she was watching 2010, I thought she meant the movie.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.
Buffy ,'Potential'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

OK, so I'm in good company. All better now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I tried that this weekend. Lord, it was boring. Much prefer the SG1.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I wonder if the writers do that purposefully with the titles in order to confuse fans - to force them to do that extra bit of typing online to make it clear what episode they're discussing. Like how 1013 wouldn't post the title of X-Files episodes in the broadcast so that fans would have to go look them up online or buy the books.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I finally watched last week's Smallville yesterday. Since I have choir on Wednesdays, SV and the beginning of Angel are on tape delay for me, and over the summer a lot of my SV oost left the building. I plead pretty pirates and, most recently, DVDs full of pretty Middle Earth folks as extenuating circumstances.
I was large with the MR lust for the past two seasons. TW is deeply pretty, but I have a thing for voices. And, in characters at least, Machiavellian potential. Anyway, last night I was watching, and there was a scene with TW lying on the ground with his eyes closed. The camera panned in closely and I could see where some eyeliner hadn't quite been blended in enough to be unnoticible. And wibble!thunk! I had a massive blast of TW, or really, rather, Clark oost. I had this mental image of Clark watching something like Velvet Goldmine over at Pete's, borrowing Martha's eyeliner, practicing the rockstar look, not quite washing it off thoroughly enough . . .
So that, plus the whole skinny-dip bit at the beginning -- hey, I always found TW pretty, he just didn't do that much for my hormones before -- made this one of my favorite SV eps ever.

I thought it was just that most producers don't broadcast titles. Lord knows it would never occur to me to spend money to find out the title of a TV episode, but I'm internet spoiled and then some.

A lot of shows don't broadcast titles, but it was common to sci-fi shows - Star Trek, Xena, even The Pretender.

Star Trek? Really? I completely missed it.
I know SG1 does, Buffy/Angel/Smallville don't, and I can't think of any others.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Babylon 5 used to, or anyway after the 1st season. Farscape started doing it some time during its run. Heck, ER always did and I think continues to do so. Not that the titles are memorable.
Babylon 5 had a real knack for (slightly melodramatic, but effective) titles, although the episodes themselves never seemed to live up to the names.
why he named his son Kydd
This is what happens when English Majors go wrong. If he had to name a child after an underappreciated English Renaissance playwright, there were many other options. I don't think a kid named Marlowe would have chances of being beaten up in the 3rd rgade any more than anyone else. But a kid named Kid? Therapy.

I thought it was a reference to how Tarzan named his son Boy.
