Buffistas

Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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

Story on Sci-Fi's Upfront.

That direction is apparent with "Five Days to Midnight," which stars Timothy Hutton as a man who finds out that he's going to be murdered in five days, but doesn't know by who. "Five Days" will premiere at 9 p.m. June 7.

"It's a true mystery thriller, but lives in the genre of Sci Fi," Hammer said. "It's trying to grow the channel and look forward in a way that is in the genre--but, in a sense, is bigger than the genre."

Stop it! Stop saying things like that! It's a big genre, dammit! For one thing, it makes no sense, and for another, if it's in the genre it cannot be bigger than the genre!

Augh.

Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. Stop digging the hole. Really.

I think SciFi is embarrassed by their name. Because as long as they're using that name, they're not going to get the audience they claim they want, which is casual viewers who don't think too much about what they're watching.

So I think they should change the network's name to something more representative.

I suggest Mike. I can see it now, The Mike Network, all regular-guy shows, all the time, is proud to bring you When Aliens Commit Plastic Surgery!

It could work!

I'm sure Bonnie's not the one responsible for casting a white guy as Sparrowhawk.

Right?

They could have at least gone for swarthy. Or Maori. But instead they cast the whitest guy in X2, a movie full of englishmen.

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

Do you have anyone whiter than Patrick Stewart?

We have Ian McKellen?

No, too quirky.

Halle?

Perhaps blander than you're looking for.

Aha! I've got the guy for you.

I love how the summary doesn't even mention the Nerds issue.

Hey, do you think there'll be vomit?

There's always vomit, Katie.
