Woe to the fucking wicked.

I realized a while ago the reason why Lionel=The Devil when I first saw him on Smallville.

Cuz he played the Devil on Brimstone, which I was apparently one of the 6 people who watched. Made my "not a crazy-person" button go 'ping'.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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

Remember folks - Jess hated Firefly. She's makes swirly finger at temple motion

MOSTLY teasing here.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Ah, Alexander Siddig and MI-5, two tastes that taste great together!

I second, third and fourth all the DS9 love. Bestest Trek ever! All the others embarass me, now. ST:NG started to embarass me before its run even finished. Voyager is a time filler and Enterprise has no excuse.

I watched a few episodes of Due South, so I know the Mountie's pretty, but I don't get the cult status.

Farscape I get!

Smallville is all about the pretty people with occasional flashes of John Glover, Annette O'Toole and Micheal Rosenbaum.

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

MOSTLY teasing here.

Yes, but do you like the Enterprise theme song?

Never watched it.

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

Ngh. I had no idea it was that Highlander ep until I saw the escalator. I think this was the last one I watched.

But cute! It's the First Evil's cousin!

Still freaked by the Richie killing, though.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Bringing up Firefly in a discussion thread involving theme songs probably won't end well. IJS.

I like Smallville for the pretty and the hoyay. And I like watching Michael Rosenbaum act, especially when he shares a scene with Glover. But I really hope that the additions to the writing staff improve the scripts. If we could have TW getting gratuitously soaked while wearing a white t-shirt *and* good dialog that would be wonderful.

I missed Due South when it first came out, due to not having much access to a tv at the time. But I caught all the episodes when TNN (TNT? whatever) reran them. I liked it from a "this is a really good show" point of view and from a slashtastic possibilities point of view. It's nice when a show gives you both.

Highlander and The Sentinal are both shows that I got into from slashy fanfic. I was introduced to fanfic and slash via The X-Files, and followed Krycek's character through crossovers to Highlander. Naturally I fell madly in lust with Methos, which led me, via P. Wingfield's guest appearance, to The Sentinal. TS left me deeply underwhelmed, but I really liked some of the fic it produced.

I liked the first two seasons of Farscape but just lost interest after that.
