Ben ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
With Andromeda, you'd be 50 minutes in, all our loved ones (ie not Dylan Hunt) are in peril, and then they show the trailer for next week

Actually, I first encountered this with B5. The last thing I wanted was any hint for the following week's action, like finding out that Anna was back.
B5 started it. It's all that show's fault.
Minor correction - H.L. Mencken is the source of the quote about underestimating the intelligence of the American people. P.T. Barnum is credited as saying, "There's a sucker born every minute." Both apply.
Well, since nothing much ever really happens on Dead Like Me, no harm done, right?
A good point well made.

It must be a bitch to avoid them when they run during the show, though.

Not if you know they are coming. B5 used to show them right after Act Four, so if you were on your feet you could close your eyes and sing "Lalalalalalalala" while your fingers were stuck in your ears.
Or, you know, use TiVo.
Thanks, Toddson. I shall beat my brain with a rolled-up newspaper until it stops bringing me the wrong names.
Thought if he wanted the car, and was going to pay for it with stolen money, why not just steal the car? Surely they've got the keys in the back, somewhere not terribly difficult for Superman to break into?
OMG!!! Jess is so exactly me! That was the very thing I thought when I saw that scene, Jess. Especially when he went and stole money in a stupid way. May as well just go steal the car, at that point. Otherwise, try and steal the money in a more subtle, less "standing right in front of the ATM security cameras" sort of way.
But, as has already been established Clark != really smart. (which is kind of comics canon, anyway. Bruce always liked him that way - the only thing more dangerous than an all-powerful alien being is a really smart all-powerful alien being.)
(Edited to not say "anyway" twice in two sentences)
But, as has already been established Clark != really smart.
Well, yeah, but...want, take, have isn't exactly an intellectually demanding creed, you know?
We all wanted Evil!Clark to be smarter -- you know more Angelus -- instead we got Dawn having a tantrum and stealing from the Magic Box.
He's not Clark, anyway, he's under the influence of red K and not making the best of sense.
