This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Mal ,'Objects In Space'


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.

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

I'm sure he can make a pink ruffled shirt look...

...no. No, he's not going to be able to make it look good.

Just getting confused about where I saw it, actually. But it seemed a good bet to remind people, in case there are people prepared to watch Browder in anything. Not like the completely understandable fascination I have for Callum Keith Rennie, for instance.

All is well that ends in pizza.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, god, that was awful. Really really awful. Not just the movie, but the music! and the clothes! argh!

That said, Ben looked and sounded like Ben, and the scene where he was fighting the Sasquatch was absolutely hysterical.

Give the man his leather pants, already.

Actually, that reminds me. Shooting on the Farscape mini ends next week. No word yet on distribution.

"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

But how great was it that they included the big iconic visual moment from The Six Million Dollar Man? I fell out laughing.

The Stargate movie was on Sci-fi last night. I remember absolutely hating it when I saw it lo' those many years ago; I just thought it was SO lame. And I am not a harsh critic, but it spoke to me not at all. Funny thing? Watching it last night, I was all, "Oh, look! That looks the same as on the show, and that ... and that .. and that ..." I actually enjoyed watching it this time with seasons and seasons of SG-1 under my belt.

Also? RDA is the One True Jack O'Neill. I mean, really. And, Michael Shanks does a really good James Spader doing Daniel Jackson. I mean, you know, he's doing his own thing with the character and has made it his own and all, but some of the mannerisms are just dead on the same. Which I love. That sort of flustered, earnest thing. Actually, that's probably more early Daniel, series-wise, but still. It was pretty striking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, it's dead-on Spader. Kind of freaky.

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

Kurt Russell is alright, but RDA is the man. No way I could see Kurt sustaining his performance charismatically.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Russell brought the tortured, but I agree about the sustaining. Jen, have you seen the pilot episode? There even more than later in the series Shanks is doing a dead on Spader-as-Jackson impression.

Strawberry disappointment.

Shanks-as-Spader-as-Jackson is just plain spooky.

Edited because who the hell is Spade?
