No, you can't. She's marvelous.

I concur with Consuela. There are many good reasons why Ben Browder is madly in love with her. I hadn't seen her speak before, and by the time she was done walking about the stage in her bare feet, I had a mad crush on her, myself.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I watched Phases today which was followed by an add for Smallville: The Beginnings. the line: When did Lex's obssession with Clark begin? I thought the WB was in denial about what the show is about...

They refuse to admit that's two wuv -- but they will admit to obsession.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think plausible deniability ended about the time we saw Lex get all Bluebeard-y with his beardfiance about a room wallpapered in humongous photos of Clark.

I don't understand why they chose to package the dvds like that . . .it's as if they forgot that there is arciness. . . you know?

Yeah, this is what I was wondering.

what problem are you having with the dvds? If you're having viewing-order problems, stop by The Snurcher's Guide for help.

Thanks for the link (ETA: and the viewing order advice); I'll check it out. It's not a problem so much as confusion about why they'd package DVDs out of viewing order (assuming broadcast order is the order in which the stories play out. Which, hey, after Fox's treatment of Firefly, I really shouldn't assume anymore). Basically, I was having a pissy rant because I wanted more eps on each DVD and in order since I can only get three at a time via my Netflix plan. You know, whining because they're making me do figuring and such.

Edited to remove an odd metaphor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And the rescue from the iron maiden!

Oh, okay. Well, IMHO, season 1 viewing order doesn't become vital until about episode 11, by which point they'd ironed out the problems. So you're probably okay if you watch the first 7-10 in whatever order they come in.

Season 2 is problematic because episode 201 sucked as a premiere, and they recut it and slotted it in later in the season, and started with 202 instead. 201, in fact, was the first FS episode I saw any of, and it was so weird and incomprehensible I didn't watch the show again for over a year. Turns out to be accepted as one of the worst episodes ever. Just so's you know.

Thanks, Consuela -- that will make it easier (and me less cranky, which, always a good).

I look more rad than Lutheranism

the first FS episode I saw any of, and it was so weird and incomprehensible I didn't watch the show again for over a year.

My first FS was a snippet of "The Flax," which was weird, but it also wasn't a whole episode.

My first whole epsiode was "Crichton Kicks" -- try making sense of that one! (Although Suela pimped lent me the final four of S3, so I had a decent idea of who was who and what was what.)

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

I just saw the Return of Harvey episode last night (aka We're So Screwed part 1). I hadn't realized how much I missed Harvey.

I never need to see Scorpy or Rygel vomit again, however. Really.

The other thing about the season 1 discs (and I don't know if it continues in 2 because I'm still leisurely working through 1 and saw most of 2 onward in reruns) is that you can't jump to the next episode -you have to go through the scene selection to the first scene of the second episode and hit play. Very annoying.
