'Out Of Gas'
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 just watched the first half of The Peacekeeper Wars. There's not enough "Eeeee!" in the world, quite frankly.
I was worried that I wouldn't understand what was going on, but I've seen all the relevant episodes apparently, because it seemed to make sense. Well, as much sense as Farscape ever does.
I'm watching (TiVo-delayed) the BSG mini right now, and, uhm... I kind of like it. A LOT.
Damn. Like I need a new show.
I watched 33 yesterday. I *just* have enough time to watch Water right now, but I think I'll take a nap instead.
BSG:
I like the tension and the realizm in the fatigue of the characters in "33" and "water", but the tone is so relentless that the show threatens to become kinda boring. I hope there is room for some B5-style humor to be woven in.
I missed 33 and I don't think I'm in the mood for Water. Although, I wish I had figured out that it was on tonight so I could have taped it.
There's not much I want to tape and watch right now, but I can't ever remember when anything is on, I think I need to tape a schedule by the tv.
OK, just finished watching the mini on TiVo. That was intense. I don't know who the heck is playing Baltar, but he's such a ringer for Alexander Siddig, I do a little double-take whenever I look at him. The British accent doesn't help. (He's *good* though. The whole set-up with Baltar and Six is creepy as fuck. I love it.)
It grieves me to notice this because I'm always psyched to see Asian actresses play non-stereotyped roles, but Grace Park's Boomer is a bit of a weak link in the cast. Not the character--obviously there's going to be interesting development with the character, but the actress doesn't bring that much to the table. She's not *bad* per se; just unexceptional compared to the very good actors she's surrounded with. Maybe she'll improve.

I actually had to go IMDB for the actor, because I knew it wasn't Siddig, but... I just had to make sure. It's distracting. I think his name is James Callis. Something like that.
I thought 33 rocked. I think I remember liking the mini OK, but not being bowled over. But the first ep of the season? I really liked it. I was surprised how much.
I thought it was Siddig at first, too. I was disappointed to be wrong.
I like what I've seen so far, and I think it has a chance with talent like Olmos and McConnell anchoring it. I love the soundtrack.
Alexander Siddig should be added to the Stargate cast. Maybe Janet's replacement...
McConnell continues to shine, I think. She's just great. And while I don't think I thought poorly of Grace at any point, I think she does some good work in the later eps, so you may see that as an improvement.
