Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
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.
It does, in a roundabout way. Customers are too hypnotized by the wall-sized photos of pretty naked people to pay attention to the pricetags that tell them their "artfully distressed" jeans sell for $70. (About $65 more than they could pay for the exact same clothes at a rummage sale...)
And Jadzia Dax.
A partner worthy of Worf (among many other fabulous traits). Amen.
"artfully distressed" jeans sell for $70.
Now, Carson from Queer Eye taught me us that you can achieve that look with a cheese grater.
This is also the "acting" method of the girl who plays Marissa on The OC.
Huh. See, I thought she was okay.
Although she looks creepy-old, given that she's an Actual Teen.
Enterprise is a very bad show, but nothing on it is quite so bad as the AWFUL AWFUL REALLY BAD STUPID SONG!!!!!
Oh sing it brother (or please, please, PLEASE - DON'T!). People who complained about the Firefly song? They obviously hadn't heard this piece of crap power ballad.
Grrr, Voyager and Enterprise. Compared to the wrong turns Voyager took, and pretty much everything on Enterprise, Ally McTrill on DS9 doesn't look like such a bad plot move.
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!
Oh, yes. The Bashir-O'Brien friendship had some wonderful moments. I loved the scene where the two of them were in O'Brien's quarters, shit-faced drunk (on real alcohol, no less), and singing "Jerusalem." Their dynamic was one of the most believable guy friendships I can recall seeing on TV.
I've seen two episodes of DLM. It just isn't clicking for me
DLM has no uber-plot (that I can tell), and the voice-overs are overdone, but I still like it. It's funny and weird and the deaths are almost always bizarrely entertaining. Also I lurve Mandy Patinkin. I'm not obsessed with it, but I like it enough to watch it every week.
Also, the lead reminds me of Shrift a little bit. t hides under desk
Love the thread. I watch Smallville, mainly from a comic-book/mythology point of view. I agree that the show isn't what could be considered a "quality" show, but it does show potential. They seem to string together scenes or even a couple of episodes that hit the mark, then fall back to cheese pretty fast.
I think they can work around Tom Wellings inadequecies as an actor by focusing on the characters around him and how they react, but there is just no hope for Kristen Kreuk. Not only is she a bad actor, but her character just sucks the life right out of any scene that she is involved in.
(Also, go with the Deep Space Nine love. Best.Trek.Ever.)
Another DLM watcher here, though the addition of Daisy O'Dare, the sporadic subtraction of Roxy, and the wimping out on the affair subplot George's dad was supposed to have are all conspiring against my enjoyment.
Enterprise is a very bad show, but nothing on it is quite so bad as the AWFUL AWFUL REALLY BAD STUPID SONG!!!!!
And my oldest sister -- in whom there is not one ounce of sentimentality that I have ever detected -- likes the song. She admitted it to me one day as if she were confessing a mortal sin to a priest (only, I'm a girl, we're not Catholic, and, even though it should, I don't think a single instance of horrendous taste in music is, in fact, codified as a sin anywhere). It was mightily entertaining. "Why? Why would I like the song? I shouldnt' like the song. It's wrong." "Yes. Yes it is. Very, very wrong. Go listen to your old Bob Dylan albums or something."

I felt like a dirty old woman the last time I was in that store, being mightily distracted by the HUGE pictures of practially naked BOYS younger than the nephew for whom I was buying a gift certificate. I felt dirty and like everyone in the store was engaged in underage, group pornishness. Gave me the wiggins, the youngness and oversizedness of them, it did.
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.
Perfect description.
