I liked the last thing with Lex seeing Ziget as the hero. It makes sense for Lex Luthor to see himself as not being evil. Certainly makes a lot more sense than a one-note bad guy.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Lex as the bad guy who believes he is the protagonist
In related news, that's also what I like about Jack on Tru Calling.
Also? John Glover is hot for an old guy.

See, I dig Lionel, but I need him to wash his hair. It's looking mangy.

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

And thus you see my worries about execution ...

Exactly -- I know that MR can do it, but can Smallville? I don't know -- unless they keep to the level they've been at for the last two episodes.
I also want to see that prophecy from season 1 again: Pres. Lex and the flowers and the blood.

I'm skimming the list of planets that have been visited on Stargate, and the statement that none of them have changed since the humans were taken from Earth is way too broad. Hanka (Cassie's planet), Kelowna (Jonas's planet), Cartoga (Cor-Ai), Nasya (Line Of Duty), the one with Carter's ex Jonas, the one where the NID stole the guardian thingie, right off the top of my head are just random civilisations.
I've been watching too much DS9. The symbiotes are confusing the hell out of me. Trills have a blended personality.

I expect you're right. I just think all of them should have changed. Cause people? We change. Constantly. Language, mores, clothing, furniture.
We change.

It's not a huge deal, it's just my deal.
Speaking of Stargate, I ficced again. For Vonnie & Katie.

I've been watching too much DS9. The symbiotes are confusing the hell out of me. Trills have a blended personality.
I also have this confusion. Listening to a Stargate commentary in which the production people were discussing Martouf & his symbiote Lantash, I found myself thinking (possible Martouf spoiler) "wouldn't Lantash have Martouf's memories & those of any hosts before him? If Sam were for some reason to host Lantash, wouldn't she have both Martouf and Jolinar's memories & be horribly confused?" Then I realized symbiotes aren't Trill, & I can no longer remember which rules govern what. Argh. Brain hurts!

The symbiotes hang from the ceiling of the cave; the trills stick up from the floor of the cave. Easy peasy.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Violet, no, you're right (that is to say, that rule applies to symbiotes). That is, you would be right, if Stargate were that consistent in its characterization of the symbiote-host relationship. Bah! I crack myself up with the humor.
