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.

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

GODDAMN is Out of Their Minds sooooo much better when you know the characters at least a little

Doood, yes. My pal Fi's first ep was OOTM as well. Makes no sense at all without knowing the characters.

The first episode I saw anything of was Reunion/Dream a Little Dream. Turned that sucker off but fast, and it took the Buffistas to convince me to give the show a second chance some time later.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The first Farscape I saw was, in channel-surfing, about the last 15-20 minutes of The Flax. Which made me think, "Huh -- it's Moonlighting in space."

And I didn't watch it again until S4 premiered, thanks to Suela's pimpage.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm so out of the loop on Smallville. Am I on crack, or was there a recent episode that ended with Papa Luthor putting a gun in his mouth? I assumed that he had killed himself, but apparently not.

Art Crawl!!!

It closed that way -- but obviously, he didn't pull the trigger.

(As much HSQ as they wasted -- the show would really miss having Lionel in it -- so I'm glad he hasn't committed suicide, you know, yet.)

Huh. Okay. I mean, I'd miss Lionel too, but otherwise, why end on that shot?

I think that they just don't follow-through well on their stories.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You know, I didn't really think that episode was that awful (well I also like lawyer jokes), but, yeah, as a season premiere, it would have been disconcerting. I wish they had gone for it full force, though. It would have been a great "How do you keep someone in suspense?" joke.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I think that they just don't follow-through well on their stories.

To put it mildly.

He had the gun in his mouth and his cell phone rang and he decided to answer it. I think it was someone telling him that Clark was in the caves. But still, I thought it was odd that he answered his phone. I would have liked something a little more dramatic. It was somewhat anticlimactic.

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