I'm just wondering…if she wanted to explore her sexuality, and fully clothed dry-humping was somehow over the line, where exactly was the line on that one?

Just indie rock?

I don't think there's really any way John *couldn't* love Rygel. John is a product of geek culture - like his audience, he grew up on Star Wars and Star Trek and Spielberg. Now he's got his chance to hang out with a bunch of space aliens, and while most of them are essentially humanoid, there's this one guy who's the…

The number of "self defense" actions in the form of hitting a woman that actually solved the problem, a rare occurrence? Hell yes. Men and women alike have other options. Men have more of them.

Of course. The point is one doesn't go straight to wildly unlikely exceptions in order to fantasize about a situation where it's okay.

When it comes to there being no excuse for hitting a woman, there are two types of guys.

So "Paranoid" *isn't* some horrible version of a Black Sabbath song?

I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me…it brought me so much joy

Much that is good about this movie got ran into the ground but quick.

It does make her sexuality a hell of a lot more freaky. Good luck being all seductive toward Crichton from hereon in, daffodil!

While I can usually point out the Euro scenes on the DVD's - the only format in which I've seen the season 1 episodes - it shocks me that the "I never thought I'd live this long" scene wouldn't make it to general broadcast. It's so indispensably lovely, I'd sooner jettison just about any other scene in this ep.

I actually watched season 1-8 of SG-1, and enjoyed them well enough, despite barely being able to remember where it went overall - that brother-in-law owned the bunch of them - but could never really bring myself to watch 9 and 10.

Well, I don't really blame the guy for having space battles as an absence-is-dealbreaking cornerstone of what he likes about this genre. Turns out without space battles, he'd rather dispense with the need for spaceships altogether. (Yep, SG-1 fan.)

That it plays like a series finale - and piles on like four cliffhangers at the same time - made this almost unbearable to finish watching the first time, because for me it was on DVD. I'd been watching on TV since sometime in season 2 but this would be the only time I would have to wait longer than a week for some…

Yep. It's nice to dig into this show with like-minded people, which I wasn't even really all that able to do during their original air because fans kept using lingo I didn't understand  (Hey, stop calling me a shipper. WTF is a shipper, anyway?) and the fan excitement at the time seemed a little…much.

I tried getting my brother-in-law into this show for years and he just wouldn't give it a chance, because the notion of a spaceship show set on a ship that can't even get into a fight put him off. (and, the two brief stretches of episodes he did see a bit of both feature John acting like a stoner dude)

Bone To Be Wild - it's weird to have this little "breather" in the midst of a crazily intense big arc, but I mostly like it. John's got some really funny lines, and Francesca Bueller really gives it her all as the starving alien. You don't see a lot of genre entertainment that makes palpable the desperation of…

If you want to see the same incest plot play out with black actors, you could just watch The Samaritan.

Gave up waiting, read about it on wikipedia.

Okay, go ahead.
