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.
Will got entertaining on Alias only after months and months of being a buttmonkey. Then he relapsed, and then this season's one guest-starring episode was fun. But yes, buttmonkey -- he was the dumbest reporter in the world. I think his character just only works in small, extreme doses. Or really, Will exists with at least one foot in the real world, and the show left the real world behind a long, long time ago. Same reason why merrin Dungey had to be killed off.
(SD-6, K-Directorate, Trust, Covenant, and, um, one other, right?)

Wow, someone just posted a picture of Claudia Black in her upcoming appearance on Stargate SG-1 (one that is also spoilery for a plot development of sorts) in Hal's LJ in the comments section. I mean, we've reached a tacit agreement to talk about CB's future appearance on the show here without spoiler-fonting, but this... kind of pissed me off, because I didn't want to know more than that. And you know, Hal could be a pure-as-driven snow wrt spoilers for all I know. Talk about inconsiderate.
Afterwards, I went to Gateworld to get spoiled about the episode, because... err, what the hell. Call me a control freak, but I like deciding what and what not to get spoiled about *myself*, thank you very much.

The handy snack of French logicians!
Based on the spoilers you know already, and understanding my dislike of the Stargate show's lack of seriousness, do you think it will be worth my rolled eyeballs to watch the one episode with CB as guest star?
The handy snack of French logicians!
Hee! For that, I'll keep the silly typo.
I think it'll be fun for you to watch the one with CB. Because CB will be hot, probably will be wearing black leather, and hopefully will beat the shit out of some people. Even if it's bad, it's gonna be high on the snark quotient.
Then he relapsed
I thought his character consistently good after TPTB realised that the audience just wasn't interested in the behind-the-curve POV he'd been occupying. In fact, I'd cite "ONE IN FIVE, BITCH, ONE IN FIVE!!!" was when he kicked the shark right in the head -- and that he didn't slide back after that.
Will won me over in the scene in S1 finale where, battered and bleeding, he threw himself into SpyDaddy's arm and said, "Thank you." Man, the expression on Jack's face at that killed me.
Actually, that may be my Jack Bristow thing rather than the Will thing, because I can't remember much of what happened to Will after that.
Dana!!! That's EXCELLENT news.
I wonder if they'll make him do an English accent?
Talk about inconsiderate.
Oh, yeah. I saw that. She even chose the most spoilery picture of the entire set to use.
Oddly enough, I'd just seen the whole set of pictures posted in a thread on the Farscape Kansas forum, where you know? They put big spoiler warnings on it. Which I thought was considerate, given it's not even their show.
Still, CB looks marvelous.

Um. Well, I'm pretty spoiled for the episode. So, maybe? I don't think it'll be one of the landmark episodes, but it's possible it could be quite good. It's really hard to tell with this show, frankly.

There are definitely spoilers contained there-in...
Is it different from what they've been showing on Scifi?
