I was spoiled last Saturday by somebody stupid at the Stargate panel at Boskone, who said who died right in the middle of a question. The entire room yelled at her, btw. I would have liked to have been unspoiled, so that the suspense was actually suspenseful. Even so, it was a good episode.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my.
I can still hear Janet saying "Colonel?" to Jack when he tells her to let Daniel ascend. When Daniel was sitting in the dark corner of the room, it tore at me. When Jack said "c'mere" it tore at me. Every time Carter cried, didn't you just want to do what Teal'c did, and hurry over? The quickening of his step got me too.
I didn't cry until the e roll call. That was nice.
Pretty well done, except for the terrible fakeout, which I refused to fall for, because NO. They chose well, for impact, though.
edit: Okay, that was probably gratuitous whitefont.

I just watched the Smallville episode Shattered. Damn you Smallville for making me feel feelings!
How can a show be alternately one of the best and one of the worst things on television?

Michael Rosenbaum and some crap-ass writing.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Is it really lame that I get sniffly every time I watch the rescue scene in "Tangent"?
"Jacob, thanks for stopping by."
"What the hell. I was in the neighborhood. Ya need a lift home?"
"Yes, sir. Thank you."
::sniff::
Plus, Teal'c "We are brothers" speech? Kills me every time. I am such a frickin' sap.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
They're all so happy and not-dead!
...yeah, I'm pretty easy too, when you come right down to it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Smallville thought: I've had a plot bunny in my head for the last two episodes, because eveyone's been talking about sometime having Bruce Wayne on the show.
But that's not what I want. What I want is the Legion of Super Heroes.
But I'm a geek.

The LSH is in cartoons? Holy cow. How did I miss that? (Or are they appearing in Justice League or Teen Titans or something?)
In any case, the classic version would be best, perhaps dressed less futuristically, but still travelling back in time to recruit "Superboy," which is a major part of the Superman mythos.
