'Serenity'
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, by the time they got to Earth and had Aeryn and Grammy speaking English, it all fell to shreds for me.
Hmmm, well, I haven't gotten there yet.
The microbes fail for me because they still use alien words for which there seems to be a direct English equivalent
They censor for potty mouth? Nah, I got nothin'. Except it does still work for me. You know, as far as any UT convention does. I like this one best so far.
My other issue with Enterprise (okay, one of my issues) is that it's actually not that bad a show. No worse than Andromeda or Mutant X. But it's not really a Trek show. And T'Pol is not a freaking Vulcan. I have a hard time enjoying anything they're doing with her character because they keep stomping all over canon.
You know how you have a button? Like Allyson's head explodes when you reach for a reset button, no matter how much flourish you hit it with?
I am realising this is me and language. Except in The 13th Warrior. That just makes me laugh.

No worse than Andromeda? Could you set a lower bar?
Oh, sure. Tracker comes to mind.

This has now twice made it into faculty summaries I'm typing up. I'm tempted to leave it, just to see if anyone reads the damn things.

Absolutely get the button thing. I'm sure I have some. Haven't seen 13th Warrior, but it's probably in the Netflix queue.
Heh. Emily funny.

I knew you'd say that, but I already had two posts in a row, and I didn't want to triple-cereal calling you out.
But now I have to admit that I think Andromeda is worse.

Dare you.

Worse than Adrian Paul trying to play a mysterious alien and ending up looking like someone mentally deficient? I have a hard time believing that.
I have a hard time believing that.
See, Andromeda has previously interesting characters competing to see whose tongue can go the furthest up Dylan's (and by transparent extrapolation, Sorbo's) rectum. I can't say as I've seen comparable onscreen ego-gymnastics, ever.
Plus, it's nigh incomprehensible. I think that a worse crime than too simple.
