Strawberry disappointment.

I'm sure I read somewhere that their changing the theme song. Some lucky sod get's to take it round the back and put a bullet in it's big 80's haired head.

I like the Enterprise theme song. There, I've said it.

But Jess...

It sounds like it's being sung by the bastard child of Brian Adams and Night Ranger.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

But it goes really well with the show! It's all about context!

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

I'm not very good at having music come to my ears when it's mentioned. Bless Musicmatch, then, for currently playing me the Stargate theme. I love that.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

Y'know, that last Trek movie finally killed the franchise for me. I actually kind of enjoyed parts of it, but it left me with no desire to ever see another Trek movie, which isn't what I came in with. After Babylon 5 you just get so tired of their reset-button framework. And Enterprise was the first Trek I didn't bother watching from the start, it's a downhill slide.

His hips move like sex, and he's got a nice voice, and his facial expressions are sublime.

Catching up here before I go home, and this and the mental image it conjured of MR are a perfect ending to my work day. Thank you.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Speaking of B5, I finally saw the real finale last night.

... can I say, "yawn"? Oy, with the endless leave-taking and the speechifying. Also, did Sheridan lose his memory at some point? Why didn't he remember what happened on his little time-trip to the future, and recognize what Londo was saying at dinner? Stupid.

I missed a couple of episodes, though: where did G'Kar go?

Hopefully not a spoiler. G'kar left to explore the universe with the red-head telepath chick whose name I've forgotten, cause his fanatical band of religious followers were getting on his nerves.

Regarding the season finale, I actually enjoyed quite a few of the bits where Sherdian wasn't talking. But it might be less painful for all concerned if we just pretend the last episode of the fourth season was the series finale.

New conjoined thread. Nice.

I'm a little late to the game, I know. I watch Smallville, though I missed quite a bit of the second season. It lost some of it's sparkly gay joy, imo. MR is still a joy to behold however. And I do like to look at TW.

I watched the original run of Due South back in the day, but by virtue of being about eleven, the HoYay completely passed me by. Some years later I came across the fic and realised just how blind I had been. BBC were repeating the RayK series for a while last year, but then stopped for no particular reason. Not before I'd witnessed the not-quite-sub-text with my own eyes though. It was a quality show, with much beyond the Big Gay Love to reccommend it.

Farscape I've never really watched. When I do catch episodes, I always make a note to watch it again, because it's really very good, and I enjoy it, but then the next episode I manage to catch bears absolutely no relation to what I remember having seen. Either I'm too dumb, or the show's too clever.

I am also very much with the DS9 love. Even moreso after seven long hard years of Voyager. I watched pretty much every episode and after the finale all I could say was "What the sweet fuck was that?" This is the reason I gave up on Enterprise after about three episodes.

The Sentinel I have seen only a few times, as it's only recently started airing over here. It's...not...good. Seven of Nine was in it today though. Sci-fi is so freaking incestuous sometimes.

I watched Highlander when it was on, but not religiously. Mostly because its scheduling was... eccentric, to say the least.

I also watch Stargate, and read fic in most of these fandoms.

And apparently I need to get out more.

Not necessarily either, Jars. But the show is dense enough that if you're not watching episodes sequentially, you can feel really lost in a hurry.
