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.
Hmmm. Never mind again. I usually err on the side of spoiler policy caution, and I think I'll continue to do that. So, edited.
Ummm... so, are there new extras on the new Farscape DVD release? Are all the old ones still there?
Best Buy has it for 12.99
Wow!
I just watched Prometheus Unbound. I was liking Aquarium better by episode 12. Two things I can't erase from my mind -- the idea that SG1 wouldn't have had the Prometheus nicked from under them, and WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FIGHT SCENE? Okay, it was no jazz hands, but it was pretty damned stupid.
I think it was supposed to be stupid, though. You know, the Stargate equivalent of Xander and Harmony's chickfight.
Basically, this was Stargate Does Farce. You've just gotta relax and go with it--okay, fine, she can take down the entire crew but not Daniel; okay, fine, the head of SG-3 is squeamish about mouth-to-mouth on a boy; okay, fine, Walter is, like, a systems expert on the Prometheus. Etc.
I laughed my head off. Plus, Daniel will get to lord it over the rest of the team about how he didn't fall for the cute babe in distress.
I won't have time to watch Prometheus Unbound until tonight. But I did watch Gemini, and I have only this to say: "Bastards! You killed Carter's Brain!" In other words, that was so incredibly stupid, I cannot fathom it. And the ending! Boo hoo, I screwed up because I taught Fifth about betrayal. No, you moron, you screwed up because you WERE STUPID. *goes for a stick to beat Carter with* Good god, the President should be seriously questioning Jack's capabilities at this point, and he would be right to do so. They just took a pretty good situation and made it much much MUCH worse. Not to mention screwing over all the other people in this galaxy who didn't have access to the disruptor weapon to begin with...
I felt PU was Stargate does Lame. Farce, for me, needs to be broader. Or funny. Funny definitely helps. This struck me as a series of ineptitudes.
As for Gemini, I think that Carter was SO dumb that her dumbness washed over everyone else. They were blank in the face of its massive size. Teal'c kinda tried, but lamed out. Jack yelled some things from very far away, but might as well have been pissing in the wind. Which makes neither of them good at their job, but if I were giving awards, they wouldn't place simply because Carter tied herself twice for first.
Oh, well then:
Gemini:
Yeah, OK, the characters were all dumb doing dumb things, except Daniel, who wasn't around. Putting aside, you know, plot and all, I did think Amanda Tapping as actress did a stellar job making Replicator!Sam a totally different character from regular Sam, though. And, frankly, the smart one. But, I mean, the whole premise... yeah, let's trust the replicator because she looks like me, let her dig her replicator fingers into my brain and then into the schematics for the only weapon we have to defend ourselves, blah-bity-blah. Dumb.
Prometheus Unbound, can't watch until tonight.
PU: Come on. He squished her head on the monitor. How can you not give in to that?
Man, you're a stronger woman than I.
