Alexander Siddig/Siddig El Faddil - I remember an interview where he explained that in his culture, names weren't exactly fixed. Siddig was a family name, but his father used a different surname for the immediate family for some reason. And Alexander was the name that he used when he started school as a boy in England. I think one of the reasons he dropped the El Faddil was that his father had died, and he didn't feel the need to keep it anymore. Oh, and he and Nana Visitor named their son Django, and Visitor had a son with her first husband named Buster.
The Ezri thing was unfortunate, though mad propz to de Boer and the crew for doing as best they could with Ezri, even though they only had a season, and were desperately trying to make her seem completely different from Jadzia, but still a Dax, and still worthy of fan love. And a lot of it came from contract disputes with Terry Farrell, and the fact that she'd been trying to leave the series for years, but saved her actual departure until just before the end of the 6th season - but delayed the announcement so the writers just barely had time to write her death.

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.
Consuela: I read an article about DLM and thought it sounded good so DLed a couple of episodes. I was impressed enough to get the next nine of them. Reminds in atmosphere of Northern Exposure.
I missed Roxy this week, but then didn't she have a lot of screen time recently? There was the leg-warmers bit, and the business with the wackjob in the underpass.
Loved Roxy grabbing the guy out of himself.
Was wondering what happened to the affair as well, but figured it would crop again at some point. Wasn't too happy with Daisy either. I mean good performance and all that, but an amazingly irritating character. Liked what they did with her and the artist.
Could I tag this?
Er. You want to tag me? Go for it! (If not, cold medicine! I blame everything on it these days.)
I can see why people would find MR attractive, he just doesn't do it for me.
I thought he was all right but nothing to squee about -- until I got dragged into a hotel room and forced to watch Smallville. His hips move like sex, and he's got a nice voice, and his facial expressions are sublime.
So, yeah, now I'll do any number of embarrassing fangirl things in his name.
MR has sort of the opposite of the concrete-block going on. He can convey the most absolute of lust for any character - Clark, Jonathan, even Martha - right down to a block of concrete.

It's as I suspected then. All I need now is someone to force me to watch Smallville...
On the subject of the Enterprise theme, I love it! In a kind of ironic way. I just love that the theme music is this huge fanfare piece of music, and then the show is just 45 minutes of nothing happening.
It makes me chuckle.

Oh yeah. If he looked at a concrete block the way he looks at Clark, I'd be all about a Lex/Concrete Block Fuh-Q Fest.
God, some days I really miss watching that man fondle pool cues and drink from long-necked water bottles...
Edit: Sneezing multiple times in the middle of writing posts? Doesn't help my spelling.
Speaking of Enterprise, Salon has an article about the show today. It's laudatory, although not blind, and seems to think that the season shows promise.
You're still not getting me to watch it, though.

I think I'm going to watch. I'm sure it's misplaced hope, but, well, there are worse things I could do with an hour (and many more productive things, too, but ... well, that's a whole 'nother issue).
I think I'm going to watch. I'm sure it's misplaced hope, but, well, there are worse things I could do with an hourI find it is much easier to watch if I can just mute the intro or skip past it. That music sending me lurching for the remote and the mute button faster than anything. YMMV.

MmmmHmmmm. Me, too.
