I'm sad we'll never get it covered as part of the Classics. When, let's face it, it was a seminal work. Also hilarious fun, and I'm guessing popular here?

Xena :(

Don't try to understand it. It makes no sense.

I wonder if the three seasons will end up following the trajectory or the original three mini-series. If so…

The first season is fantastic, and none of the other seasons can hold a candle to it unfortunately. However, both seasons 3 and 4 are very, very good.

Yeah, the complete absence of reviews would kill these comment threads faster than anything else, as happened with the Nikita threads.

That's Derek Hale, as played by Tyler Hoechlin.

"Shondra" Phil. Riiiiight.

They could use a body half-on, half-off an Aboriginal reserve, if they were so inclined.

Well, there's the spelling error in this review that, as it currently reads, suggests Stiles and a hell knight spent a portion of this episode double-teaming a sex-worker. That's pretty ridiculous.

Would a male director have staged the scene like that? I’m not sure that a male director who had the nerve to stage that scene should be allowed to walk around unchaperoned.

Contrast that with Sex and the City, a show about four clever, promiscuous gay men

It probably undermines it. I can see that the two could be married together to create a sort of magical-realist tone, but the show would have to give up the idea that it's actually "telling it how it is" or whatever.

I get what you're saying, but I think you've missed my point. My problem is that Dom coincidentally runs into a potential backer on the same day that he's told he needs money, not that the two of them would be locals.

Not to mention whatever Tovey and Groff were doing with those controllers. That game looked like an arm-wrestling simulator, so why all the button combos?

Yeah, I really like those two, they're hilarious, and have such a great, sort of lived-in chemistry. I remember an early review over on Hitfix problematising Doris, wondering how they could fit a straight woman into the show's ongoing plot-lines.

I briefly mentioned this in the comments last week, but I really liked this episode. Though I recognise that the other episodes were good, this week's feels more like the kind of show I'd look forward to watching every week.

The biggest contrivance being Dom running across Scott Bakula in the bathhouse.

I'm not a local, so I can't say for sure, but San Francisco's fairly queer-heavy from what I understand. I assume that there are sections of the city where gay men are far more common than in other parts of the country — like West Hollywood (I assume).
