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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I enjoyed Smallville. Again, another lame kryptonite-based plot but it had it's moments. And the facial expressions between Clark and Lois during the get the bag scene were hysterical. I really like the facial expressions Erica Durance makes as Lois in general. As dubious as their way of keeping her around was I'm disappointed to see her go.

My big problem is with Clark telling Chloe he's not interested and Lois leaving that we're going to get another season of Clark pining after Lana which has already gotten way too old.

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

Oh, that was so gay. All is, for now, forgiven. They had me at Lex in the locker room of half-dressed high school students. Talking oh-so-subtly to Clark.

Then there was the touching break-up scene -- that started in the "Fortress of Solitude" and wound-up wherever it was that Lex had the Porsche. (Was that in the mansion?)

Yeah, that was his secret room.

Have we changed the whitefonting here? I thought it was until it'd aired on the west coast?

I wasn't sure -- so I didn't white font and then I did.

A piece from the Salt Lake City Weekly bemoaning the state of genre tv and talking about the campaign to get Farscape back.

From the article:

Lo and behold, however, the geeks have prevailed: Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (Sci-Fi; premieres Sunday, Oct. 17), a four-hour two-part miniseries wrapping up the loose ends and possibly setting the stage for a regular-series comeback, exists only because of rabid, grassroots fan efforts.

Is a comeback even a remote possibility? My impression from some of the news on the miniseries is that this is definitely it.

I was surprised by the "comeback" mention myself.

I would be surpremely astonished if Farscape came back in a television format. Everything I hear is that Henson is looking for a way to continue the franchise, but that it's likely to be movies or something with the current cast.

Which is not to say there isn't room in that universe (Ben's quip about blowing up the galaxy notwithstanding) for other stories to be told about other people -- the Nebari, the Luxans, Peacekeeper rebels like Velorek all strike me as areas rich with narrative possibility. But I think the cast is probably ready to move on to other work.

This is me, reading between the lines. No inside information supports this.

Sumi, thanks for the link! I love it that the guy was bummed that SF.com didn't target him. Heee.
