That Skoda-guy has an awesome voice, imo.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I just saw SG-1 "Paradise Lost" - it was like their version of the computer game Riven down to all the little details.

I just wanted to mention a lovely bit of TV-science -- on Sliders, a scientist is in a wheelchair because he "severed a neurotransmitter while skiing."

Oh, Maggie's husband. Has he made his speech to Quinn yet about how he doesn't mind when his wife sleeps with other men, as long as they're men he can respect?

Oh, no! This was the first half, where Roger Daltrey reveals himself to be not only evil, but reeeeally evil.

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, what the heck are you guys watching?
Is it a show where Roger Daltrey is the devil? And why is he the devil so often on tv?

"Sliders" dipped into the monkey crack after the first season or two, and it snorted constantly until the very end. And the fans blamed themselves. It was all like, "Oh, you 18-35 year old males, because you watch the show they killed the Professor and threw in MissTightWhiteShirt to replace him!" and "You over 40's - the fact that you watch actually lowers the ratings! You're killing the show!"

SciFi's also got Roswell now. Man, that was an awful show, and I got so tired of Michael I would rather have had his hair than his character... but I still watched it. Until its canon got as complicated as X Files, which took all of I think two seasons.
Really, I liked the Max/Shiri Appleby romance. I don't know why. I didn't even like her that much (obviously, I couldn't remember her name -- Liz?). It was such a guilty pleasure.

Roswell started out pretty good - there was an intelligent sense of humor at work, and the characters came off well. But then it turned into being all about the alien nonsensical drabble and the characters started getting dumber. It was similar to the X-Files - they were over-ambitious with the big alien story, and then mucked it up trying to reveal it over the course of several seasons. For me, the series started to die the moment Liz said to Max, "You're an alien kink(king)."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Roswell had its moments. One of which was the S2(?) finale, where it pulled me out of a great deal of disgruntlement.
Mostly it was a dizzying mess I was just watching for Michael and the sherriff and his son.
