Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
Also, Ultraviolet is airing tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday from 10-Midnight Central time.
And if you have not seen it, for the love of Dog, DO.
Ultraviolet being close to perfect and all.
However, just skip Strange. Unless you're looking for Shows that Make the Sentinel Seem Like Shakespeare.
Tim Drake figured out Batman's identity all on his own, and then kind of blackmailed him into making him his partner, and so on.
See, in my Batman world, that is a guy named Tim Drake just begging to be assassinated. Er, I mean to accidentally fall off the tallest building in Gotham.
I think my Batman is a little crazier than canon Batman. Or anyway, more psychotically parsimonious in his application of "justice".

Hmm. Jack Davenport. (After watching S1 of Coupling, I finally realized that I remembered him from The Talented Mr. Ripley, and that I really liked him in it.)
Must set VCR.
Teppy -- I saw in the IMDB that he's in Deadwood!!!! If only I had hbo.
I remembered him from The Talented Mr. Ripley
Really? Was he the guy at the end?
Huh.

Your Batman kills kids? And yet you don't like Dark Knight?

Well, to be fair, Tim was only thirteen at the time, and he didn't actually blackmail Bats. And besides, Dick was in on the conspiracy.
Of course, some of the Titans at the time called Tim a little creep. Heh.
Personally, I ♥ Tim because he's a dysfunctional little freakboy. Just like I love that Dick's an adrenaline junkie with a guilt-complex the size of Siberia. And Bruce, well, he ain't remotely right in the head...
I don't know anything about Deadwood, which is just as well, as I'm trying to resist the lure of the premium cable channels. (I was hoping to get rid of cable totally, but now there's a Farscape mini-series, AND with the cancellation of almost every network show I watch, I *can't* get rid of Cartoon Network.)

Yup. They first meet at the opera, I believe, and then you realize they're together, and then it all goes badly at the end.
Yeah, Sci-Fi has got to be backpedalling madly right now.
"Well, we never meant that we really didn't like our viewers, or that the show was too smart for the audience we wanted to attract!"
"Right. Really, what we meant was that we'd be humiliated forever if the miniseries became a big hit for another network, particularly since we'll soon be losing the rerun rights on the first four season, and someone could pick up the show as a whole and make a bunch of money on it in syndication!"
I would love to be a fly on the wall in those contract negotiations. I wonder what JHC had to give up in order to get SFC to air it. I hope hope hope it wasn't any more exclusive hold on the reruns. The show needs to air elsewhere in order to pick up an audience, especially since SFC is running the reruns at 3 AM nowadays.
