I am suddenly considering how that could have been a very different episode from the one I saw...
I think that's next week ...
This week was kinda disappointing, since I was hoping for more Ho Yay. Still, it was a start.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

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

Hmm, that sounds like it's the episode I'll get next week. (Having seen the promo.)
Katie M: Bwah!

Dana, I just got Abyss in syndication -- did you catch it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Looks like it's on tonight in half an hour. You're my hero.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I watched Abyss on DVD over the weekend. Aside from all the nice character bits, which I got a lot more this time around, I was struck anew at how incredible-looking the episode is. Both Baal's torure chamber and Jack's cell are just beautifully constructed, and the concept of the gravity-altering cell is fabulously executed. The beautiful yellow wall--I want to paint my kitchen that color when I get my own house--all suffused with light, then Daniel in his cream sweater and Jack with his dark brown top, forming a spectrum of light-to-darkness. The green of the arrows on the wall.
Plus, I really, really liked Baal. A goa'uld with a personality! His brand of evil manipulation had a sly sense of fun. I hope to see more of the guy.

That episode had a couple of really evil SFnal ideas in it. I like it that the creators really get the possibilities inherent in the genre -- there is that Sense of Wonder that runs through this series that makes it very cool to me.
t SIGH Andromeda used to have that, too. Along with characterization and plotting....

Yeah, the folks at SG are pretty good at taking genre tropes and putting a new spin on them. One of my favorite episodes that did this was "A Matter of Time" from season 2--I mean, gating to a black hole! It's such a nifty idea. Plus, relativity! Carter on a full-on problem solving mode! On top of that, it had some great Jack characterization stuff via the introduction of Cromwell. It's just an all-around cool episode.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I find the Visjinic mulls Elektra part news a tad more interesting.
