Um--I had heard O'Neil was crusty but his barely-there manner in S6 of SG1

Subject: Re: HL DVD's
Lynn's right. A handful of problems with a few DVDs don't indicate a control
problem with that product. Even the best manufacturers and suppliers will
have the ocassional blip.
However, I think it would be fair to say that the company's selling
techniques, their frequency for distorting the truth, their unwilingness to
sort out problems that some people have encountered for months (a Big well
known Highlander fan was recently told that the money he's been owed by them
for eighteen months is now null and void because they are operating as a new
company) generally leaves a bad taste in the mouth and a sense of distrust.
Not everyone has had problems with the Store - but enough people have to
make it a genuine concern.
While I don't think the conclusion was accurate, and that the Store's
problems have more to do with supply and attitude...I don't blame anyone
whose first reaction was 'Dang...a duff product!' Just always worth
checking first.

Thanks for the info on the Witchblade universe, Ustadawn. Convoluted and

For me the beauty of Farscape has always been that it is an ensemble
show, even with all the cast changes. Granted Crighton is the lead
character but he would be nothing without the others and that's how
the writers write it and that's how it is directed and produced. The
makers of Highlander:TS never learned how to do that.

Darn, my apologies to everyone that follows Stargate. I hadn't stopped to
consider that viewers in other countries won't be seeing it on the same
schedule we have in the US.
I'd always assumed I was a year behind, anyway, since we don't have Showtime
and the repeats we were watching on the other cable channel were from the
previous season to whatever Showtime was running. But since it's now moved to
the SciFi channel, the episodes I'm watching are now "current" and spoilable
to others outside the US.

Whoa. Sounds like Tom Selleck or Harrison Ford. But the character would
always be named "Dirk." I'm not sure, but I think Clive Cussler has been
writing about this guy for a while.

I'm not sure myself, so I'd appreciate knowing if the "injury" that O'Neill
suffered in one episode that kept him off the team for a while was to cover a
real-life injury or not. Also, he was out of commission carrying around a
symbiote for a while. That's another thing I'm not entirely clear on, (the
symbiote plot point with some characters), since the first 4 years of this
show aired a year behind on the cable channel we had, and I missed a lot of
backstory owing to never remembering to set the VCR.
As for the one liners, he's always struck me as a terse kind of guy who
preferred to let all the scientists jabber away in their opaque lingo, and
let them think he was just a dumb military jock who likes to blow stuff up.
Was he a lot more jabbery himself in the early seasons?

Yes. RDA injured his knee quite badly during the break between seasons. He's
recovering/ed nicely, but it meant that for a while he was unable to be seen
running and jumping. He's received treatment and there should be no serious
long-term effects.

Due to events in the Frozen episode this season, Jack faced the prospect of
having to be a host to a Tok'ra symbiote to save his life. RDA actually had
another project he was working on and so they arranged shooting scenes to
help with his schedule and wrote him out of one episode. Despite rumours to
the contrary and presuming the the current schedule remains on track,
O'Neill/RDA should be in every other episode this season.

Well, here in the good old R of SA we've only seen up to the
end of the second season (the last ep shown was "1969"; apparently
overseas countries don't get the cliffhangers until the *next*
season). So anything after that would be MAJOR spiolage.
Which doesn't explain why I'm whining about missing Daniel. :)

Most of us gals already know how to make correct lube choices, all of the

I was referring to Minotaur, a gay slash writer who has often jokingly offered
to 'test drive' sexual situations for his fellow listees, and/or the casual
observer who might happen to visit his website, see his "selfless offer"

I can see where that might come in handy, for writers who meet Wendy's profile
or who have a somewhat, erm, less adventurous past. :) I did finally met a few
of those folks who fit that profile of yours, Wendy, aka the folks who have
never made The Sex, in any of its forms. At least if they have, one couldn't
tell it from looking at them. <eg> Quite an eye opening experience -- and
interestingly enough, I realized 'so *that's* why they can't write sex worth a
damn'. <weg> Or write about men in general, for that matter.
Just to have some form of comparison, I wrote down the first seven slash writing
friends who came immediately to mind, and of those seven, five are married,
three with children, and the other two -- well, if they've never made The Sex --
they surely do like to flirt, and have no doubt left many, many sad and
disappointed men and/or women in their wake. <weg>

I just haven't been able to get into a series to the obsession
level since HL. I think it spoiled me for the rest of TV. I
keep comparing everything to HL: "Oh, yeah, they did that in
[insert name of ep] and it was better cuz..." I was really taken
by Stargate for a few seasons but I got so annoyed at them last
year for holding new eps that I cancelled Showtime and got
high-speed internet access instead. Harrumph.
I watched (most of) Dante's Peak last night; Brosnan's still got
the best profile since John Barrymore, though I had trouble
seeing him as a geeky vulcanologist. He just stands out too
much. The first series I got really attached to since - um - The
Man From Uncle?, was Remington Steele (OBHLR: Gillian Horvath has
often said that Remington Steele got her started on her path to
being a TV writer). In any case, the whole movie, I kept
wondering if getting covered up in a lava flow would count as
decapitation and if there were an immie vulcanologist around,
would he get the quickening?
It's pretty pathetic when my favorite shows are Animal Precinct,
Pet Psychic (oh be quiet Wendy), and So Weird. I'm getting a lot
of reading done, though.

I like that one too - possibly because of the clever way they do
flashbacks. It's a bit more - um - LSD-like - though, than the
HL flashbacks. I keep wondering when Johnny is going to blink.
I don't think he's blinked so far. It is a refreshing flashback
in itself to HL, though.

was psychedelic)(Volcano shows.)(I like volcano shows too)(And

People but I like The Division)
