Re: Newbie just starting S3 - Non-Spoilers ONLY! Either the guys you know think it politic to play dumb on the subject, or else you know a particularly oblivious collection of guys. I'll go with Franklin on this one: For "very nice borders", look to Ivanova. ;)

Re: Newbie just starting S3 - Non-Spoilers ONLY! Sometimes a guest star can be a spoiler (in my mind), if it means that you know that a particular character is returning. Since you said that he plays other characters, I personally don't think of that as a spoiler. ----------------------...

Re: Newbie just starting S3 - Non-Spoilers ONLY! Friendly Warning You might want to be careful about listening to the DVD commentary tracks until after you have watched the entire series. There are not always careful about spoilers for later episodes in the commentaries. They occassionally...

In playing "channel roulette", I have flipped into the Spanish language version of HBO when they were showing a dubbed version of The Sopranos. That is just hysterically funny, in a bizarro-world sort of way. :D :eek: :D

Now, you see, that one doesn't bug me ..... although I know about the problem. Maybe it's because I'm so used to every phone number on TV starting with the 555 prefix even though absolutely *no* phone number (in the US, anyway) has that prefix, except for the automated "the time is ...." sorts...

Yeah, I can understand that. As I said, I really *do* like the way the character interaction plays in there. But the whole point of my post that started this sub-thread was that different people have their suspension of disbelief shattered by different things in different pieces ..... and...

I'm sorry, but that doesn't track either. When making first contact with an alien species, talking only terms of references to your own mythology / history is an *obvious* non-starter. If you can communicate any other way, then you obviously choose that other way. Even if that doesn't occur...

Yeah, different things shatter the "willing suspension of disbelief" for different people. There are various reasons why that line moves around from person to person. Sometimes it has to do with what you do for a living and / or hobby ..... and therefore what leaps out at you as being...

So, is this right place to bring up the fact that the "blood" that runs down the drain in the famous shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho was in fact chocolate syrup? ;)

Re: DVD\'s you want realeased... A version of the "Hit the Road" episode of Buffalo Bill that includes the dream sequence / music video to "Hit the Road, Jack". (When you go to start up that episode on the DVD they bring up a title card apologizing for that not being there, and saying that the...

There is also the question of whether Lorien was waiting for evidence that the younger races were ready to be left alone. It's one thing for him tto know that the babysitters have started worrying more about their methodology debate among themselves than they are about doing their jobs as well...

The way the Shadows and Vorlons had been built up, I don't think that the younger races could have taken what was left, either. Does anybody really think that *every* single ship in the galaxy (from either the Shadows or the Vorlons) was at that battle?

Re: ARRRRR!!!! Dead Man\'s Chest!! I think that it's an expectations thing. They went into the first one thinking "Cripes, iIt's a movie based on an amusement park ride. How good could that *possibly* be?" And were massively, pleasantly surprised. They went into this one with expectations...

This is not about this episode, but following the tangent of roommates sorta half watching because they happen to be in the room. My old housemate is something of an SF fan, but hadn't yet been really hooked by B5. He had been in the room a reasonable amount of the time when was watching, by...

Damon isn't a bad actor. He is certainly, by far, the superior actor of the pair that came up together (Damon and Affleck). Damon is currently about the same age as Shatner was during TOS. However, Damon is one of those people who has a younger looking face. He could believably play someone...

You mean of the full time regulars. Because if you ask me which one character from all of TNG I would want at that dinner party with Londo and G'Kar ..... with absolutely no hesitation I jump directly to Kaylar (or however that name is spelled; Alexander's mother). She would actually be a lot...

I was "raised on Kirk, not Picard" ..... and I liked DS9. It was its own show. But it leveraged the fact that it was set in the Trek universe to good effect. The fact that we, the audiance, already had so much backstory in our heads about Klingon Empire vs. Federation vs. Romulan Empire saved...

Yeah, it's an intersting list. I've seen 9 or 10 of them (depending on whether you count Caligula, which I watched on cable a few years ago when I was bored; it was R-rated cut ...... not done to make it good, done in the way that R-rated movies get cut to PG-13 for broadcast networks, making...

Re: The \"Sci-Fi\" Channel, Really??? Yes, SciFi has *long* followed a much broader charter than their name would imply. However, *every* network wants shows that "help" each other .... where viewers of one show will tend to be tempted to check out others based on their on air promos during...

It's also true that they are much more likely to get vibrated off when being shipped (with the bouncing of the trucks etc., on top of the periodic jostling of being tossed and bounced around by handlers) than they ever are when sitting on your shelf at home.
