That's the one, Jon.
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.
Thanks. Yep, that was a good'un.
Coolness! Just found that one the other night while unpacking my videotape crates. Must rewatch at first opportunity.
OK, now I'm pretty psyched it's on the next disc, which should be here tomorrow.

Anderson Talks New SG-1
Richard Dean Anderson, the star and an executive producer of SCI FI Channel's original series Stargate SG-1, told SCI FI Wire that he has reduced his shooting schedule in the upcoming eighth season, but not necessarily his appearances in the show's episodes. Speaking in an interview on the show's Vancouver, B.C., set, Anderson (Jack O'Neill) said that he has reduced the number of days he shoots in Canada to allow him to spend more time at his home in Southern California, where he cares for a 5-year-old daughter.
"We worked out a schedule that has me working essentially three weeks out of the month and then having a week off," Anderson said. "And even, like, three or four days per week that I'm working, and then that one week off. So I have weekends with my daughter, and then I'll have some time in midweek. ... So it became very workable and acceptable."
Anderson added that he appreciated that the show's cast and crew have accommodated his schedule "by creating nothing but hardship for themselves, primarily." Among other things, producers schedule scenes featuring Anderson's character from several episodes on the days when he's in Vancouver and work around him on other days. That allows O'Neill to appear in almost all of the episodes.

Ummm, at least I didn't think that what's in the bits I've pasted would be spoilery. I may be wrong.
That allows O'Neill to appear in almost all of the episodes.
ALMOST ALL??!?! What is it with these non-deadbeat dads and their lack of compassion for my needs?
Hey! That's better than almost NONE.
ALMOST ALL??!?! What is it with these non-deadbeat dads and their lack of compassion for my needs?
So entirely inconsiderate. Clearly they don't understand the power of ita's needs, or that she can kill them with her pinkie.
Seriously, I'm happy for him that they're able to work around his schedule. But it must be exhausting. Also, confusing, to be filming several episodes at once. The Henson crowd shot two episodes of Farscape at a time for the first half of season 1, and they said it was horrifically confusing and complicated, so they stopped after 6.
My needs are very powerful. He better be careful, too, since it's SoCal he's spending his down time in. I would have to give him a very stern talking to, if I were to pass him on the street.
I imagine it would be insane filming -- didn't they do it a bit last season? Michael Shanks said something like "Sam seemed to be in danger. A lot of danger."
