Best thing for me was the good use of Don S. Davis, whom I do miss.
I do wish that the preview hadn't blown the entire setup -- I'd at least have wondered if they'd gated into an alternate reality, for instance.
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I really like the actor who played Sam's Narim and Weir's Simon.
But but but... creepy! 'Cause, Narim! Who is dead!

True. But my handwaving skills know no bounds. Which is helpful and comforting with these shows.

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

I know! And they aired Enigma earlier that day too, just in case anyone forgot.
I cherished a brief hope, as I was wondering what else could be creepy, that instead of Garwin Sanford looking up from under the hood, it would have been Sean Patrick Flanery -- but that was just a lust for meta creepiness, not anything that would actually serve the plot.
I admit, I didn't watch the previews past getting the impression they thought they were going home.
They didn't try and convince us they were ever really home (as Theo said -- brilliant use of Don Davis to tip us off), and it never even occurred to me it was alternate -- just because it picked up from precisely what they knew to have been true.

I just found ship_manifesto on LJ, and there's a lovely Jack/Daniel essay complete with screenshots to illustrate the synopsis of their more slash-inspiring interactions.
Even if you don't buy the /, it's very sweet.

Okay, I give up. What does the little symbol with the < and then a 3 (which won't show up if I type it straight here) mean? Is it an erect penis? A barebreasted conehead? Something non-sexual? (Seems unlikely, since this is fandom after all...)

...oh. Right.
I really have been in fandom too long, haven't I?

I've been seeing "XD" a lot. I've been assuming it's something like a laughing face, but I have no particular evidence for that assumption. Anyone?
