'Why We Fight'
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.
They first meet at the opera, I believe, and then you realize they're together, and then it all goes badly at the end.
Huh again. I liked him in that too. I think, oddly enough, that the excessive lobbying of the Norrington camp has damaged his appeal for me. Fear me, I am recalcitrant.
Suela, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking, "Eat it, Sci-Fi! And you still suck! But please air the miniseries and treat it nice!"

He left absolutely no impression on me as Norrington. I can't even call up what he looked like. Too much competition with the elf and the drunk for space in my brain.
I remember *really* loving him in The Talented Mr. Ripley, now that I think about it. I think it was his voice, damn it.
By "meet cute" I meant the way that the pairing in a romantic comedy hate each other on sight, but you know they'll end up together. Not, you know, puppies-cute or Precious Moments cute. Perhaps "whimsical" is a strong word.
It's more meet creepy.
But still -- having a meaty sidekick takes away time from the main character, and runs the risk of Wesley Syndrome: the non-title character becomes more interesting than the title one. (Which, I suppose, would explain the existence of Nightwing having his own comic, huh?)
Robin also has his own comic. It's quite good, and one of my three must-reads.
Jason = Jason Todd, Robin II, killed by the fans with a telephone poll the Joker, an event that sent Bats into not-very-sane land for a time.
Oh, I didn't realize they hadn't released all of S4. How many eps did they not release? It would be good marketing to release them in conjunction with the mini-series airing. Here's hoping. Selfishly, I hope Sci-Fi at least shows S4 right before the mini-series so I can be caught up. Memememe. Or I could get really organized and figure out where Sci-Fi is in the cycle of reruns and tape what I know I can't get on DVD. Or something.
Perhaps you also liked that his was the only character who wasn't a turd or having a really bad day. Until the end, at which point it was a REALLY bad day.
there are still 8 episodes to be released in the US. 2 DVD compilations more
Jack Davenport. Love that name. He and Fred Toaster and Jeffrey Throw Pillow have a great comedy routine.
That joke is as old as the Ottoman empire.
(Who's Jason?)
The other other Robin. The readers got to vote on whether he lived or not. The Joker beat him to death with a crowbar, which tells you how the poll went.
Sure to be an x-post
I don't think any of Batman's sidekicks/companions have become more interesting than him. Interesting enough for their own comics, sure. But not interesting.
Wasn't Tara underage when she was cavorting with Deathstroke? NSM with the even vaguely cute or whimsical kids, is DC.
Suela, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking, "Eat it, Sci-Fi! And you still suck! But please air the miniseries and treat it nice!"
Dana, you're not the only one. (Nor is Consuela, for that matter.) I stop by SciFi every now and then, but I usually curse and shake my fists at them as I merrily channel surf past it. And illogically or no, Stargate episodes on SciFi makes me see red.

Up for a round of furniture puns?

See, I just like this scenario, without disliking Jason. It's angst-making, and unexpected (unless, you know, you voted in the poll), and pointlessly shocking, and exactly the sort of thing that should realistically happen to nutters who patrol the mean streets in their long johns. Not that it necessarily came across that way in the comic; I just like a good sacrificial lamb now and then.
