Either I'm too dumb, or the show's too clever.
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.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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.

Quite possible. I'm pretty sure that I know who most of the characters are, but whether they're good, bad, or another version of a character I thought I had down remains a mystery most of the time.

Missing in action since 2002...
But it goes really well with the show! It's all about context!
Which is why I wished DS9 would have gone radically different with their theme music after the war started. B5 freaked me out when I realized the theme for the third season was the Requiem for the Line.
As for Enterprise, I like the theme song. On the show, it's fine. Hearing it in Walgreens at 3 am when you are drunk and shopping for Ben and Jerry's... NSM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pin, maybe being drunk in Walgreens is your main problem here.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Popping in to the new thread to say that I watch Smallville for the cheese factor, I watched Farscape(though I came in late. Sorry, I had been put off of it by the burbling raves of a friend of mine who also kept telling me Voyager's getting better. Riiight).
I've never seen Due South I wish it were available on DVD so I could Netflix it.(Did I just use Netflix as a verb? Eesh..)

Bwah! This reminds me that our town's first Super Wal-Mart, when it opened, had an announcement chime that sounded exactly like the hull breach alert on ST:TNG. Back in the early 90s (when I was even geekier than today) it was difficult to resist yelling that out when it sounded.

Thrive to spite them
I was really mad when Terry Farrell left, especially the way they left the storyline. First I was mad at the writers--what!!! Marry them and then kill her off how cruel is that! But then I read about the contract disputes and that she'd wanted to leave for a long time (since the second season or something) and I was mad at her. Especially when she went to Becker.
I mean, I could understand if she was trying to leave the show for...I don't know...why was she trying to leave? But to turn around and go to Becker?

I just hope she's learned to appreciate when she has a good thing, now that one of the good things she has is the Sprint commercial spokesman.

All is well that ends in pizza.
